Quite a long story so I do apologise. Started with a small pea-sized lymph node behind right ear. Saw GP, who wasn't worried and just told me to keep an eye on it but it should go in a few weeks. Fast forward 3-4 months, I start feeling absolutely rubbish all the time. Headaches, dizziness, fatigue, weak/heavy legs, blurred vision etc. After 2 months of this I see GP again who orders some blood tests and an ECG. The day after this appointment i noticed 2 lumps in side of my neck (right side again). one pea-sized one maybe slighly larger right below it. I know from experience to just keep an eye. Next day I notice one on my collar bone that side and the top part of my neck starts to feel a bit puffy and swollen but not visibly. The next day I feel like there is a golf ball in my throat every time I try to swallow. It's not at all painful, just feels like something is there that makes it hard to swallow. Since this started I have not been able to eat anything except porridge and soup and even this feels like a lot of effort. The next day my neck is visibly swollen in 2 areas (see photo). Towards top of my neck below my ear, and if i sit up straight so my collar bone moves down a large "lump" appears behind it. On top of the lump I can feel 3 very hard pea-sized nodes. I am having to hold my head on an angle because if i put my head straight it is impossible to swallow and feels like I can't breathe well enough. Doctors have just said to keep my appointments and they can examine me then. I had taken myself to urgent care and the nurse just said they can't do anything there and to see my GP but she did seem concerned about the swelling by my collarbone. She said my throat and ears look fine - no sign of an infection. I have bloods taken wednesday then a review on the 15th. But in space of 4 days I have gone from 2 tiny nodules only I could feel, to a visibly swollen neck that feels like someone is jabbing something under my jaw constantly. I am in no pain at all just uncomfortable, the lumps are not tender. I am struggling to eat and feel weak and cannot focus on anything due to the effort I am having to put in to swallowing my own spit. I am just scared and frustrated because my GP expects me to wait another 8 days just to be seen, and it has got so much worse in such a short space I can't even imagine what it will be like in 8 days at this rate
