Remicade side effect - shivering/chills?

[cassimw]

My 14 year old had her first Remicade treatment last week. Since then she has been experiencing sporadic periods of shivering/chillls and has also complained about very cold hands. She says she is not cold, but is actually sweaty (like a cold sweat). Does anyone think this is related to Remicade? If so, should we be concerned? Thanks!

Is she running a fever?
Personally I'd call the doctor just to be safe.

No fever- I should have mentioned that. I did email the nurse, just in case.

Good to hear.
Please keep us posted.

I've never experienced that but have been told to get checked out if I get a fever.
