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 :(

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,

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 :( 

Musicismylife, I just want to wish you the best of luck for tomorrow! I'll be thinking of you and hope you get good news xx

Oh bless you smoore921 for thinking of me when you have all these symtoms too that youre worrying about. I will be fine im sure but i will update you when i know. How are you holding up in this heat? 

Im not too bad atm, I didnt get a fever last night and can only hope for the same tonight! But who knows, I've no control over when it will happen or what sort of night I will have. 

I hope you will be able to sleep tonight. How are you feeling about tomorrow, are you very nervous or are you settled? Do you have someone to go with you? X

Thats true im quite warm this evening but think everyone is. My husband will be in and out as he will have to pick up my little one. Dont want her in the hospital i think ill be on my own mostly. Ill be fine though. Have my phone with me and im kind of not expecting lymphoma diagnosis now as my bloods were normal and i have no lumps on neck. I think its just going to be for precaution

If you need someone to talk to at any stage write to me here or message me okay! :) what age is your daughter? My youngest is 2. 

Yes it is warm, do you sleep with a thermomoter beside you or am I the only crazy one that does that haha. If I wake during the night I keep checking it! 

Shes 4. Thank you, no just i know as i am sweating. I go get it and check once then put a cold flannel on my head and try and get some sleep. Im here too. Try a fan with ice near it. Its like air conditioning. Works a treat

Hi Musicismylife,

I am sorry to hear that you still haven't got an accurate diagnosis. I just want to wish you all the very best for your appointment tomorrow and, I hope that this will begin to point you in the right direction.

Kind regards,

Thanks, more bloods testing different things, he doesnt think i have lymphoma as i have no lumps. Have a appt in 4 weeks. Have an ultrasound tommorow to check my spleen. No diagnosis yet. He was wondering wether its something else like a imflamatory related. Trouble is he said all my tests come up as borderline. For example normal wbc is between 4 and 10 mine is floating around 10.1 to 12.5 not enough for infection but right on or slightly over higher threshold. Same with my crp and esr. So if all negative im being referred to rheumatologist however, a long wait for that. Plus side i met a lady who has most of thr same symtoms as me also told not lymphoma today as is having further bloods and is being referred for rheumatologist. Guesd we will see. I thought i was crazy making up things that arnt there. Glad someone else has same issues as me but upset i can see it dragging on a few more months :(

Oh no I'm sorry. Its unfair how long things do be drawn out isnt it. At least the ultrasound is tomorrow, hopefully that will come back normal and you dont have to wait long for results. Its good they think its not lymphoma, just hard on you not knowing whats going on :( 

Glad you met someone else who has similar issues and she was also told the same as you. Is the other woman getting fevers aswell? 

Yes fevers, no lumps, itching all over, chest pain she had the same. I have weight loss and flank pain left sided also. He said if we dont phone you assume they are normal and ill book you in for an appt in 4 weeks time to see what we will do next. 

Isnt it crazy how you can have so many symptoms that would make you worried sick about having a certain illness and it doesnt mean you have it! Doesnt help google pointing towards that too! How are you feeling now? Are you a bit more settled? 

Hi Musicismylife,

I'm glad to hear that it's not lymphoma, but sorry to hear that you are still no closer to a diagnosis. Here's hoping that your ultrasound doesn't show up anything untoward tomorrow.

It must have been heartening to meet someone with the same symptoms as you today. However, if given the choice, which none of us get, I would rather be under the care of rheumatology than oncology.

I know that this means more waiting for you, but you will get an answer in the end.

Kind regards,

Hi musicismylife, did you get the ultrasound today? I hope that went okay and you dont have long to wait for the results. 

I had a fever again last night. Was talking to my doctor today and she is referring me to heamotology. Unsure if shes put it as urgent or not. She said I could be waiting around a month 

Yes not urgent urgent as would bw 2 week wait (cancer check) but yes probably on urgent case load. My ultrasound did show something :) i have scaring of the left kidney upper part as the pipe with kidney atrached. They said kidney infection or something to do with my kidney for sure. My left side is where ive been getting pain and i have blood in my urine but no uti do makes sense. 

Ah ok so would this explain alot of your symptoms then? What are they going to do next for you? 

Sending email to my consultant hes waiting on bloods and then will probably refer to kidney specialist drs to investigate. Hopefully some antibiotics and ill be ok. Heres hoping :)

Fingers crossed for you! You've had a tough time of it, hopefully this will be it sorted! Keep us updated :)
