I will sometimes take an immediate release Opioid when the sweats and chills are very bad. It’s not my first choice since I try to stay within my Opioid limits, but they are available if I am going out of my mind with the sweats and chills and elevated pain.

There is one last thing that I have found very helpful, though it may sound strange, and that is exercise. When I am well enough, and the pain is not out of control, I exercise by walking on a treadmill. I have found over time, that if I am able to walk on the treadmill 2 or 3 times in a week, my overall sweats and chills are not as bad. When I am actually on the treadmill it invariably sets off a severe sweats and chills episode, and I have to change clothes while I am exercising or the chills pain is too severe to continue. But during the rest of the week my overall sweats and chills are reduced. I know it may sound strange but it’s the truth.

I hope this may have been helpful to some of you. God Bless You All.
