A member asked:

What can cause the chills, aches, and loss of balance?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many things: Sounds like an infectious disease is present. Loss of balance can occur directly through involvement of inner ear, brainstem, loss of position sense in feet, leg weakness (muscle aches, nerve injury). Indirect causes include generalized weakness, sleep deprivation, distraction (pain, upset stomach, malaise).
