Hi Angie, I had a lot of the chills and fever when I was first dx. I would just take some pain reliever and fever reduces and try to get through them. Those first few weeks were a nightmare for sure. Now on Sprycel, I get really hot; my face turns beet red and it's hard to get cooled down. It happens a lot when I am on the computer. I can also feel my heart pounding in my chest all the time. This has been with me even before I was dx in 2004. It has never gone away and keeps me awake at night. Blessings, Jeanie<3 In a message dated 3/5/2011 9:46:40 P.M.

Your mention of deep freeze chills really caught my eye. I had 3 episodes of that before my diagnosis (I was diagnosed with CML in 2000). I would shake with cold, and my skin HURT as though I was trapped in a deep freeze. Neither hot tea, nor blankets could get me warm. I told my family doctor and he considered my age (52-53) and said it was the reverse of hot flashes! Sometimes I would get steaming hot, and sometimes freezing cold. I sure wonder where he dreamed up THAT theory from! A few months later I was diagnosed with CML. Funny, I have not heard anyone mention those deep painful chills before. I haven't had such an episode in 8 years now. Angie in Canada What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us....

I remember how that in the beginning, I had those deep freeze type chills.......not any more. That was probably during the first six to eight months. -- [CMLHope] A support group of _http://cmlhope.com_ (http://cmlhope.com/) ------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.
