have symptoms and am scared, what do you think
Okay so here goes. I am a 25 year old female who gets sick at the drop of a hat. I have a lymph node on the left side of my neck that is swollen, it will swell and then go down in size, but never returns to "normal". I have always gotten fatigued easily but much more so lately. I have asthma as well. Over the last month and a half I have had 3 infections. The Dr's thought it was H1N1, but swabs have been negative. I have lost 15 pounds since the end of september. Knees and shoulders are sore. I also noticed that my armpits are becoming sore. I have been having drenching night sweats for about 6 months. My husband has started making us sleep with a pillow between us because he gets too warm sleeping next to me. For the last 3 weeks I have been running a low grade fever daily. I have noticed that my head and legs get very itchy at times. Poor appetite and get tired very easily. I am getting short of breath walking up a flight of stairs. I saw the doctor this last week, I asked if she thought this could be lymphoma, she said well it could be, but I don't think so. I made her refer me to immunology at Mayo clinic but haven't back with an appointment yet. I am very frustrated, and am wondering if anybody has feedback, does this sound like lymphoma? I am an RN so maybe am thinking into this more than I should. Am I crazy?
