Yes they are B symptoms.

I had hot flushes both day and night but not drenching sweats.

All to do with the matabolismn and the cll cells

I recommend you get tested for ebv.

I also have the day and night sweats. Not drenching but sometimes close to it. I do believe it is a B symptom.

I have day and night sweats. Night sweats can be drenching but day time ones are horrible too and can be embarrassing when perspiration starts to trickle down your face when you are having a conversation with someone. I am stage C and about to start another new treatment regime.

What is ebv?

EBV = Epstein Barr Virus/Human herpesvirus 4 (HHV-4) and it's latently present in about 90% of adults. Corin850 mentioned it because it can cause serious problems in those immune compromised, like us :

Thank you Chris for your early reply. Bit worrying about Richter's but glad the percentage is relatively low. Hope to check it out at my forthcoming bone marrow biopsy.

Take care.

Thank you Neil for your very prompt and comprehensive reply. I am due to have the lovely bone marrow extraction sometime over the next few weeks so will ask about EBV. Not sure I can do much about it other than trying to avoid infections (impossible😞) and having access to antibiotics.

Thanks again Neil and keep safe. Best wishes.
