Lymphoma

 I've had intense full body itch for 11 weeks now. Been on steroid tablets, steroid creams, antibiotics, antihistamines, lotions, oils & creams & nothing is working. One doctor said to try the steroids & if they didn't work I would be referred to dermatology. I have since been back to the doctor 4 times & they won't refer me. Even though they don't know what's wrong with me. 

I also have night sweats, chills, fatigue, had flu symptoms for a month now that I can't seem to shift. I also had a chest & sinus infection, sore throat that doesnt seem to go away. I'm now left with a chesty cough.

Its getting me down & I don't know what to do.

    Hi Bella,

    I am so sorry to hear about your symptoms. Do you have another doctor in the clinic, who you could see? Perhaps they might have a different opinion of these and could be prepared to refer you. It might be helpful if you were to write down when all of these symptoms started, whether they come and go or are there continually. Make sure to include all of your symptoms and how long they have been present.

    I see that you have mentioned these symptoms on a Cancer Forum - do you feel that this could be cancer? If so, please mention this to the doctor when you see him/her.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    I hope that you get some answers soon.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
