Thank you for your question. I am Doctor Asanghanwa Carlson. It will be very important we know the name of the illness you are suffering from before the doctor is giving you Hydroxyurea as the chills you are feeling could either be as a result of the said illness or as a side effect of starting Hydroxyurea. In all the cases it will be very wise to go back and discuss with your doctor on the recent developments so you both can choose an appropriate management for your illness. Good luck.
