Symptoms

Hi All,

I am hoping someone can shed some light for me. 

For circa 15 years I have been suffering with fatigue and common cold which could last for weeks. This started after I had meningitis as a teenager. The Dr's put this down to ME/SLE or Chronic Fatigue. 

My regular symptoms are

Fatigue

Muscle and back pain

Headaches 

They have gotten progressively worse the older I am becoming. 

Over the last 5 years the symptoms have regularly included, 

Frequent Swollen Glands

Occassional night sweats 

Rash back of head and back

 

They have been terrible for the last year, my regular symptoms now include.

Exhaustion constant - coffee/redbull do not work

Waking up more tired then I went to bed

Glands constant flare behind jaw and back of next/trap muscle 

Some Glands flare up and down, arm pit, groin, chest but these come and go.

Regular night swets and chest palpitations which wake me up

Regular infuriating itching , head, soles of feet and back, particularly at night, also wake me up 

Flu like feelings 

My Dr's again tell me not to worry that's its most likely an autoimmune issue. Base bloods look good bar ige 1850 and Lymph 1.3. WCC and RBC are within limits.

My question, have people with lymphoma or similar issues had skin rashes which flare up and then go down but not disappear?

I was treated with strong predinselone meds and steroid creams which made the rash slightly better but I still feel terrible. 

Would appreciate any help.

  • Hi, as you asked about lymphoma symptoms I will share my own experience, but bear in mind there are many different types and my lymphoma was a subtype. I never had a rash with my lymphoma at all...I did have dizziness upon standing though, severe back pain, coughs and colds and frequent tummy bugs, passing out or feeling an urgent need to lay down flat for a few minutes to compose myself. I had a lymphoma in my chest, non Hodgkin.
