Absolutely, many of us go from chills & shivering to hot flashes, especially when being infused with Rituxan or other long duration IV infusions. Many hospitals and infusion centers have warm blankets to help with the problem.
And many CLL patients report that their body has much more difficulty with hot and cold environments even when not being infused or treated.
What kind of treatment are you talking, Mark?
I think I'm more sensitive to the cold due to having PsA, used to be more of a toughie! I'm on Humira & Methotrexate and I don't believe they affect my sensitivity to cold, because I was the same before starting these drugs.

Im taking Acitretin tablets 1 a day on 7 weeks course im half way though but feel no better yet.
I find too that I am more sensitively cold in general because of my PsA. My hands and feet are cold when they shouldn't be. I get Remicade infusions and the nurse always bundles me up after we get started. Susie
