I on occasion get night sweats. I always have an extra shirt at my bedside. During the day I'm mostly cold. Was told that chills is a side effect of revlimid which I was on as maintenance. In remission now for 8 months.

I notice that on every monthly visit the nurse in the pre-doctor fact-finding interview asks if I have been experiencing night sweats. It is obviously quite a common experience.

I had night sweats for years prior to my MM diagnosis and they continued through my induction therapy and after my stem cell transplant and through revlimid, Dex maintenance.
I don't have them anymore on my current third line of treatment, KCd (Krypolis, Cytoxan and Dex), although I get a red face flush and speech issues (hoarse quiet voice) the day after the dex.

I get the sweats and the doctor doesn’t say much about them. I intend to press him for an answer when I see him next week. I do take Dex but only once every 2 weeks.

I also sweat a lot my hair will get soaked I use to get heat flashes with going through the change but that had stopped But I do have a lot of sweating now I have never asked the doctor about it because it feels like it did when I had heat flashes I hate it but figured it was something I have to deal with it I do get really hot easily If I am shopping I have to take my coat off right away because I no it’s just a matter of time before I will be sweating It’s like if I do anything Physical Maybe I shouldn’t just be Ignoring it
