Night Sweats-MDS

Hi Chirley

I was interested about your mild fever every afternoon/evening. Don gets them too but I usually don't check his temp unless I think he is hotter than usual. Sometimes he then has night sweats but they have been less frequent in the past couple of months. Dr. isn't concerned about the low grade fevers (less than 101) Don also experiences chills, at the same time as low grade fever, every evening. He gets so cold he crawls underneath the blankets fully dressed. He is quite thin and again dr. thinks his shivering is the body's attempt to warm up.
