Very Bad Chills and Elderly

Mother who is 86 was diagnozed with MDS a few months ago and has low hematocrit count. She is on Aranesp and has had a few transfusions. We have an appointment with Dr. Gore in January. My sister is the primary caregiver.

Trying to determine whether chills are part of MDS. They are occurring almost every day now. Needs 4 blankets and a heating pad when they occur and it can last for a few hours. The internist is baffled.
