Bone chills while on Revlimid & dex maintenance

by Heather12 on Sun May 06, 2018 7:36 pm

Hi.

I have had multiple myeloma for a few years. I had a stem cell transplant in October 2014. I am on Revlimid and 2 dexa­meth­a­sone pills once a week. Doctor says I am in partial remission as blood levels sit around 6-8.

Recently i have had bone chills, I can be really cold but still having hot flushes! So I am piling the clothes on. Lucky I live in Queensland, but having a hot flush from my head only!

Doctor doesn't seem to have heard about this before and said maybe I should have thyroid test.

Does anyone else have an idea of what it might be? Is it something that happens sometimes when you're on Revlimid and dexamethasone? Or is myeloma-related, or just something else?
