        I usually feel tired if my blood pressure is low.  The
chills come from a bladder infection or other reaction to pain.
The stiff neck and shoulds come with both.

        As a cure I eat.  What else!  Hot beef or chicken broth
from those nasty little cubes or pellets.  Lots of it.  Maybe a
quart in a two hour period.  It warms me.  The salt helps the BP
and the liquid clears the bladder.
