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 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,

Jolamine xx

Good luck! Thinking of you x

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,

Jolamine xx

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 :)

Hope your diagnosis isnt lymphoma. 

Thanks! Me too! Its an anxious time waiting and not knowin whats going on :( 

I bet when you get on the right antibiotics your symptoms will go away! Glad you have finally some sort of answer x

Hi I have been reading all your posts, nowhere did you state your age, Anyhow that’s not relevant yet. First of all I would definitely stay off google. Most of it is American unless you do put UK at the end. However you still get a lot of Americans sites. Back in 2002 my husband had almost similar symptoms to yourself, one day he came home from work. Very very unusual for him to ask if the doctors where still open. The last time my husband had been near a doctor was back in 1988. When he had his discharge medical after 22 years in the army. I looked at the time and said yes for another 15 mins. He asked me to phone them to see if they could squeeze him in while he changed out of a suit. Phone was answered straight the way. Just had I started to speak to them my husband got up and turned completely grey and had to sit down again. I explained this to receptionist, she asked me if I could get him down there now and Dr will be waiting. I thought it was his heart, we got to the Drs on examination Dr thought heart too. So he called paramedics. My husband said my wife’s got the car outside can she not take me in, Dr said no, so off he went with paramedics. Now I had 2 children to sort out. I asked a friend who our children where always playing together I had looked after theirs plenty of times. I gave them a key to the house. I didn’t know what time I would be back, my friend fed them I told her there was a fridge freeze and cupboards full of food. She fed my two at her house while she fed her own I got to hospital to find my husband sat up fine still in A&E he said they had given him some meds to see if he responded to anything. He told me they would be keeping overnight. To monitor him. Cutting a long winded story. After numerous test and having told them he’d been suffering from a load grade fever on and off for a long time. His white blood cells where slightly up. Eventually he came home next day with the all clear with a appointment to see hemstologist and a heart dr it was just white cells elevated, the white blood cells only elevat when fighting a infection or a virus. He was told not to return to work until everything or at least until the consultant had some answers.After 3 and a half years later still white bloods cells raided still having low grade fever. Still not retuned to work, fortunately for us we didn’t have a mortgage exeopt for £1 littraly we bought the house outright. However my mortgage many many years before was with Nationwide, it was paid off on the death of my fist spouse following a car accident, when I married again although we paid cash, my 2nd husband bought into the property with a massive lump sum he received from on his leaving after 22 years so was also entitled to full milatry pension once he reached 55. So we in one respect not having a mortgage had the time for the 3 years or so to pass, each time he went he had slight raised white cells they never where normal. After anothe 6 months my husband had said he was board stupid and he had been chatting to the headmaster at our local school when he went to collect out daughter then went to the other school to collect out son. He was saying my daughters headmaster told him he was after a new caretaker for the school. Because he knew my husband was ex military he asked my husband if he might be interested. Anyhow he told him the only reason he was not st work was the hospital where still trying to get to the bottom of his symptoms of a low grade fever and his white blood cells having constantly raided all that timr. Next time he went back hospital he told the consultant that he had got himself a different job and was going to go back to work things had gone on long enough he didn’t want to have packed in his previous job so no he’s taking the other job. Now talk about angry. All that time and the consultant said all we can put it down too was different viruses. That was causing the low grade fever and his white blood cells elevated. Apparently we have approximately over 2 million different virus in this country, that was back in 2005 so how many more now god only knows l am praying that’s all it is for you something like viruses that making you feel the way you do and not any type of lymphoma or cancers at all, I wish you well and your friend you have been chatting to for awhile. The lady who on your last couple of messages who was waiting for results of a ultrasound scan. Regarding Google yes I don’t doubt it’s good and can answer a lot of questions. Regarding medical ones I personally wouldn’t trust a lot of them, this is coming from someone who had had severe depression and anxiety attacks. They are well under control. However on reading a few medical questions on google. I noticed that it could possibly start people worrying uneccerely with there are so many illnesses out their that your symptoms can be a number of things that point to mild to serious, I just find google medical have a answer to so many illnesses symptoms that differ from America to the uk so we could all make the symptoms fit to almost any illness, now with you actually saying you have anxiety over health, it’s what’s making you worry. Anyhow I am interested to know how you and your friend musicmylife, is all I can see regarding her name, I am pulling for you both and very much would appreciate it if either of you two ladies get on. Oh just one more thing I had my tonsils taken out at 29 sometimes I didn’t have pain my temperature shot really high that was making me feel so ill, I can not spell this, but I will give it a go. There’s a throat infection you can get, it’s related to the stypticociouses virus. It’s extremely nasty you get this yellow phlegm on the tonsils with it sometimes. I was told that was the cause of my tonsillitis. I had no choice to have had them out. Now we all carry the virus it’s whether it triggers, in some people it never does. It’s responsible for a few different illnesses. It’s nick name regarding tonsillitis is strep throat. You can have it sometimes with no coating on your tonsils a mild attack that doesn’t hurt, or you can have major attacks which lead to people having to have tonsils out, the virus lives in everyone’s nose. So I wish you all the look in the world and same to musicinmylife. Do please keep me updated, ladies I am really interested in both cases. Love Marj xx
