Concerned I have Lymphoma

I am concerned I have lymphoma, leukemia or some other type of undiagnosed cancer.

On August 20th I woke up with severe all over body aches. The illness had 3 phases. The body aches lasted 2 weeks. I then developed severe burning pain up and down my spine and lower back that lasted 2 weeks. The spine and lower back pain then turned into more of an arthritic pain for 2 weeks.

A few weeks later I was diagnosed with an eye inflammation called uveitis. Uveitis is rare and only 8 out of 100,000 people are diagnosed with it. The ophthalmologist prescribed eye drops which resolved the inflammation.

I am also concerned I am untinentionally losing weight, although my drop in weight is only about 3 pounds. I normally weight 110 lbs.

I am concerned the illnesses are a signal that there is a much larger illness going on in my body.

My internist feels that I have health anxiety. My blood work is completely normal, including esr sed rate and crp. I also had a normal chest x ray.

Any thoughts on whether I should pursue additional testing would be appreciated.
