      Has anyone taken Yervoy and had unexplained fevers and chills that are intermittent?

      My Mother has had reoccuring fevers, with only one blood test with a high white blood cell count. Blood tests are negative and CT scan doesn’t show anything to go on.

      Right now, it a bit of a mystery that has been going on for 3 weeks.

          Yup, my husband has had these very same symptoms. Met with doc this morning who said he feels it's a sign the Yervoy is working. Said to take Tylenol, and if that doesn't help he'll prescribe something strong. Doc said it's an indicator my husband's immune system is ramping up against . . . whatever!
