OK. i'm so sorry if anyone has read my story before because i've posted on a few different boards, because i have been batteling this "thing" as i'll call it for so long with out a diagnosis. My name is Barbie and i'm 23years old. I have been to the doctors with c/o numbness in my right hand, and terrible itching that doesn't really appear to be related to anything ( i use lotion everyday and i dont' have dry/flaky skin) so i don't think its just dry skin, my scalp aslo often itches and no dandruff or anything. and i have these horrible night sweats, i wake up in the middle of the night soaking wet. i have a lot of pain in my lower back and in my joints. I have been to my family dr, a neuro, rheumie and no one has come to any conclusions. I have been diagnosised with having SVT (a very fast heartbeat) and i had cardiac ablation for that last june (2004) and then in feb of this year i was diagnosised with Neurocardiogenic syncope (vasovagal syncope). I have b12 deficiency and i'm slightly anemic, i have had 2 very very slightly positive ana test and rheumtoid factor (they thought maybe lupus, but have since ruled it out) well to jump back to whats going on now i had my gall bladder taken out last week and when i went back to the surgeon today i told him that i didnt' think this was related but since surgery my night sweats have been worse and then he started asking me a bunch of questions and is sending me to see an onc doctor. I also have this "bump" on the back/left side of my neck that i would guess is no bigger than a pea, he said it could by a lymph node, but that "bump" has been there since i can remember sometimes it changes sizes, but nothing ever oozes out of it or anything its hard, but not like a rock, more like rubber. I'm sorry this was long, but if anyone has any ideals or comments it would be greatly apperciated. I"m so scared/ nervous/ confused i dont' know which way is up. thank you very very much for your time
