Do you have any other symtoms? I have fevers after doing little walking of 10 mins or housework of 39 sometimes 40 and when resting mostly 38 or 38.5. The only restbite i get is the mornings. My fever goes up throughout the day and seem to suffer in the night. I have excessive sweating due to the fevers. All my bloods are normal except slightly raised blood count and immflamatory markers were slightly raised not enough to indicate infection. Ive had urine cultures which negative. I feel tired constantly and i recently had a episode of chest pain which came on suddenly lasted about 10 mins. I have shooting pains in the neck and under arm on left side but no lumps tp be felt. I have had left sided flank pain since october thats where it all started. I had a week where i itched every where but after antihitamines i only itch on my neck all over now. No rash. Ive lost a dress size amd a half since october. Ive been by heamtology consultant who dismissed me because bloods were 'normal'. GP feels i am showing b symtoms of lymphoma. Hope it all gets sorted. I know this is scary but it could just be from the infection. It can stay in the system for a few weeks. Keep an eye on it. If you are getting ill more often and taking longer to get over the illness go to GP. 

I dont have any other symptoms apart from the fever. I supposidly had tonsillitis 2 weeks ago even though my throat wasnt sore at all! I think the glands in my neck are up too. Im travelling home from holiday today and hope to get in with the doctor tomorrow! Are you checking your temperature constantly? I cant help but check mine all the time! Do you always have a temp or does it sometimes be normal? Mine was normal for a few days and now its up again. I feel drained constantly and nausous. Its stopping me sleeping as I wake up every hour feeling hot and sweaty. You must be going crazy with worry too! Are you managing to hold it together? Im really struggling :(

No mine goes up and down but mostly when doing light walking or housework it will jump from 37.5 or 38 to 39.5, 40 sometimes and im dripping with sweat,  or i will be sat here on my sofa feeling hot and sweaty and ill take my temp and its 39. The fever has been going on now since jan, altho not sure if its linked to all my illnesses. Properly started in april i think when i was over everything. They have ruled out everything else ive had numerous blood tests and xrays before i was referred to rule out everything else. 

What do you mean you arent sure if its linked to all your illnesses? It must be awful having a fever ongoing that long! Mines only been a couple of weeks and I'm drained! 

They had to rule out it wasnt linked to having a chest or throat infection. They first of all linked it to that. They started to listen to me in april once they all died down sent me for bloods. Had bloods in feb but just come back saying still had infection and monthly in april and may then they started taking me seriously. 

Did you have a sore throat or anything? I don't understand how I've supposidly had tonsillitis yet had no throat pain. Hope I can see my GP tomorrow, the worry is driving me crazy. Ive been trailing this website all day driving myself mad! 

Yes i had a sore throat in the Jan went away with antibiotics, came back a week later where i lost my voice, more antibiotics went away came back about 2 weeks later. As well as a chest infection at one point i was taking 2 lots of antibiotics one for throat and one for chest infection

Hi the best thing for you to do is go onto google i know its effected you doing that but theres a way to look things up without thinking you have everything just put in what do tonsils do you will see then that tonsils are designed to stop germs getting down your thoat and also they are loaded with white bloods cells they release to kill infections white blood cells are part of our immune system that kill viruses germs bacteria you may have slightly inflamed tonsils you dont nesseserily ave to be in pain the drs looke down your throat and seen them a bit inflamed as i said earlier your body allso heats up if theres an infection or virus . And you have started thinking all sorts is it cancer your thinking probably just an infection thats not quite gone yet i sufferd anxiaty i used to suddenly break out in a sweat and have to change my shirt but the anxiaty was because i i w struggling to breath because of missdiagnosed asthma i truly thaught my lungs had been damage by a drug they gave me for crohns so it was the chicken and the egge .anxiatys a horrible thing its fear realy so dont worry . Dr will tell tom if it was throat cancer you would certainly feel much worse .paul ps musicismylifes just about sumed it up

Thanks for your reply. I get what you are saying but for weeks before this I've been waking from my sleep shaking so I feel like this might be going on for a while. I really do hope its from my throat and nothing more serious. Its been over 2 weeks now, I've had a week of antibiotics and my throat swab was clear which is why I'm concerned this is something more serious :(  

Mines been going on since october 2018. They kept saying its this is that etc. I think they rule out everything before they check for lymphoma. You are showing no other symtoms apart from this. I am showing and have shown nearly all symtoms for lymphoma. I hope its not. They will take a blood test again most prob. Hopefully they will find something

That must be difficult that it is going on so long! I hope you get an answer soon and that it isnt anything serious. The first heamotologist you seen wasnt concerned werent they not? Hopefully that means something, im sure you cant wait until your appointment! 

Jolamine thanks for your reply, I am keeping note of all fevers etc. Seems worse at night, the second I fall asleep my temp rises. Im exhausted. 

Musicismylife, how are you holding up? I know you have your appt on wednesday. I hope all goes well for you. Has your symptoms eased at all? 

I had a cold last sunday, monday, tuesday (on my birthday) at one point i was going to phone 111 as my temp was coming up 40.1 had a cold bath and took usual paracetamol and nurofen and within 30 mins was down to 38.7. Since tuesdays ive had no fevers (touch wood) and just random shooting pains in neck and under arm on left side. Ive had pain random in left flank and thats it. I recieved a letter from my original consultant who changed her mind after i left and instead of referring me back to gp decided to book me in for ct scab and basically saying she will not see me unless its a positive ct scan but no appt yet however now im being passed over 2 week cancer rule in own area they can see previous bloods, xrays ive had. I will take my consultant letter which says my last set of blood tests were normal altho my ESR was 12 which she says is normal on the letter but on nhs website says its normal for a female aged 55 and over. Im 32. Dont see how thats normal?? I will flag this. Then she goes on to say in the letter that if ct is negative maybe i should see a rheumotologist as i could have a connective tissue disorder or fibromialgia? Altho my ESR is normal so she doubts is the case. However it isnt normal levels so still could be this i guess. 

Thats great you have had no fevers! I hope they stay away. Could the fevers have been related to all your illnesses etc? You seem to have been sick alot recently. 

Im glad you are getting a CT scan, hopefully you wont wait too long for it. I hope your appt goes well on wednesday and you can rule out the serious things soon! 

My fevers are getting more often, they go up to around 38 now, mainly when I'm sleeping. I've got myself sick with worry :( 

Could it just be hot in the room? As its been muggy recently. And yes ive been unwell but even when i have been better ive had these symtoms. Im still thinking i have infection somewhere oin my system and when i get another infection it makes it worse. Lumps are the most common symtom of lymphoma but i have no lumps visable. The ct scan will look for lumps that cant be felt. My letter said that be prepared to stay all day as they carry out futher tests. My appt is at 9am. I think they will run more blood tests and ct scan for sure. If it comes back negative then i guess ill be referred back to gp and ill be happy it isnt lymphoma but sad they still dont know what is causing they symtoms. I dont think fibro could be causing the fever but who knows. I know someone on here says they tested for lymphoma has same symtoms as me and all came back as negative so was discharged. GP doesnt know who to refer to so has to 'live with it'. Maybe they will do this with me. Hope not as its awful. I am so tired i slept 18 hours monday and all i had was a cold. It wiped me out. 

Oh that would be great if you got your CT scan at your appt wednesday and you didnt have to wait for the other one! I hope everything is clear for you and this is your fevers gone too! Is your temp perfect now? 

I'm the opposite, I'm tired because I cant sleep when my temp rises. Its not the room, I even tried sleeping with the window open and a light blanket. I woke up shaking and shivering. I was hoping it was because the room was cold but my temp was 38c :(  

As someone with severe anxiety I dont know what to do with myself. Googling worries me sick and I'm finding it hard to function as my worry about this is all I can think about

My temp has been constantly 38 since jan! Sometimes 37.5 if im lucky, mostly 37.8 to 38.5 is normal for me now. I dont get shivering just feel so hot like my body is burning. Atm 37.9. Not too bad still not 'normal'. 

Please try not to worry. My issues have been ongoing since october and only now im being refered but i do feel my drs are fed up of me being there hence why i was refered. Hope you dont have to wait this long

Oh I thought your fevers were away :( I guess this isn't high but still not 'normal' like you say. Mine's normal atm, 37.2. But by the evening it's around 37.5, then when I sleep it goes higher. 38 doesnt sound high but it's enough to make me shiver and stop me being able to sleep. Doesn't help that my 2 year old has a vomiting bug atm so I'm looking after him aswell. 

That's crazy that you've had to wait so long. I guess because you also had other random infections going on that they could pinpoint things too. I wish I had a runny nose or something this could be blamed on but I don't. The doctor is meant to ring me on the 31st to see how I am and if things have settled or not. But I might just ring her before then, tell her I'm getting worse and see can I get some sort of tests done. I dont do well waiting and not knowing, its too much time to google and fret! 

Hi Smoore,

I'm glad to hear that you are keeping a record for your GP. Most people find that their temperature rises at night, so unless it gets very high, it may not be worth worrying about. Your GP should know.

If your symptoms are geting worse it might be worth phoning your GP to get an earlier appointment.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

I think I will phone, I've got myself in such a bad way mentally. I cant function at all its got that bad. 

My temp is going to about 38 but surely that cant be normal. It wouldnt be doing that for no reason :(
