Are you experiencing cold shivers or chills traveling up your torso after induction treatments?

Chills and fever are recognized side effects that can occur during myeloma treatment. These symptoms can happen as your body responds to the medications used in induction therapy.

The cold shivers you're describing could be related to:

- A reaction to the treatment medications themselves
- Your immune system being affected by the therapy
- Changes in how your body regulates temperature during treatment

Since you're still experiencing these chills occasionally even after induction, it's important to mention this to your oncologist. While chills can be a common side effect, they can also signal other issues that may need attention.

Your care team can help determine if this is a normal response to your specific treatment regimen or if any adjustments might help. They may also want to check for any underlying causes, especially if the chills are accompanied by fever or other symptoms.

Keep track of when these episodes happen and any patterns you notice - this information will be helpful for your doctor.

I still have leftover chills from treatment from time to time...randomly, it seems. It doesn't last a long time, but it's usually near bedtime. My feet and middle get extra blanket coverage till sometime during the night when I kick the blanket off. I don't feel feverish, so...... 🤔
No CAR-T, no SCT and off treatment now ( over 4 years, off )

I had the problem, too. So cold. I would rest on the sofa under an electric throw. That lasted until the treatments stopped and I had CAR-T.
