Mmmmm. That's an interesting one which makes me think a bit . I know it's not a lack of food/drink (in my case) and the immediate hot shower made a bit of a difference, but I was under the fleece in front of a roaring fire all evening and I still wasn't exactly warm. On the other hand I wasn't shivering like I normally would be so it helped a bit. Trouble is, when you're out and about, hopping into a shower and making for the nearest blanket isn't exactly an optionsame here. About half hour after cycling i get the shivers, even in the summer. Being a girl i don't sweat excessively (i hope not anyway! LOL), so i dont think its that, and it happens even when i've changed my clothes. It's way worse in the winter, sometimes i'm cold all day at work if i haven't stayed in a hot shower long enough. trying to explain to my landlord why i needed a timer switch on the hot water (so i could have a bath immediately i came home) was fun! she looked at me like i was off my rocker.
there is no known medical cure (well, i don't think there is) but i do know that a really hot shower or bath (the latter preferably) and really hot beans on toast definitely helps.
i personally think its caused by hot muscles cooling down too quickly.
