It all started in February of this year. So much has happened since then I will try to be as brief and to the point as possible. It started with a swollen lymph node in the jaw line, lasted a month or so. In March noticed supraclavicular swelling(above the collarbones) on both sides of my neck, no nodes though, to much swelling, size of large eggs, vary in size hourly, never gone completely though. Lost 55 pounds in 4 months w/o trying. Severe itching to arms and legs. Constant infections that keep coming back, cause cannot fight them. Now swelling is not so large, but lymph nodes popped out and seem to be getting bigger. Also now feel a tightness, like a pulling sensation in that area. I'm tired all the time and get very hot for no reason, and very flushed. I sweat so much deodarant doesn't help. Lets see if I am forgetting anything? Oh yes of course, I have been to my doctor like 4 times and to 2 surgeons, and they all said it is nothing! Now what? The swellings are still there and there seem to be more than one lymph node now in the same area? What can I do, could this be a lymphoma? Oh, by the way I just turned 30 in August. The only blood work that was abnormal was my ESR, it was increased. I had a cat scan in May, but there was nothing there or the x-ray. Maybe to early, I don't know. If anyone has any suggestions as to what I should do please let me know, I would appreciate it vary much. I don't know if I should just let it go and deal with it. My doctor said there is nothing else they can do. I have been there at least 6 times since this all started. Thanks for reading this I know it is lengthy and I apologize for that.
