Do you have kids? I think you are around the same age as me. Im 33 and have 3 boys. But you are right, this does consume you. I have chronic health anxiety for over ten years now, so this makes it so much worse! Do you google? I google far too much and need to stop. Its making me worry so much more to the point its all I think about and I find it hard to function! 

I think you said your mil has cancer, I'm really sorry and hope she is okay. I know exactly how you feel, my mum has cancer which cant be cured. So I feel like I cant burden her with my worries. Its hard with no one to talk to. Im sorry for what you are going through but also glad to have this site and to meet others who understand how tough this is. Ive only met a few people on this page that have the fevers. I cant even find much about it online! Apart from serious worrying things, I'm going to try and stay off google!! Lol 

Hi Smoore. I'm sorry to hear about your mum. It's just awful, and it seems more and more people get affected by cancer. My mil is currently receiving treatment for lung cancer, and I lost my mum 8 years ago to cancer of the throat. I try not to Google - it's just a mindfield! 

I'm 30, I have 2 girls, 3 and 1. Feel like I can't really do much at the moment, just feel so tired all the time and poorly. What ever it is, I just want to get right so I can feel well enough to carry on. Hopefully I'll have an answer soon, and hopefully you will too x

Hi Riverdale, how have you been doing? Are you still getting fevers? I have went 10 days now with no fevers or chills. Thats made me feel a bit better but now I have a tender swollen lymph node in my neck just under my jaw. I do have pain in my gums around one of my teeth just above where the swollen node is so not sure if it would be related to that or not! Hope you are doing okay and your symptoms are easing x

Hello :) just dittoing smoore's post and hoping you are feeling better now. 

Here for rants anytime from anyone :)

Hi Rose hope you are keeping well :) I also hope Riverdales symptoms have subsided! 

Last night was awful for me, after 11 nights with no fever or chills last night I had awful chills and shivered all night with my hair soaked with sweat. Getting impatient waiting to see haematology now when this has been going on since the start of July :( 

Oh how horrible :(

How long is your wait now?

Definitely make a note of the symptoms so you don't forget!

Just phoned the haematologists secretary, she said I'm down as urgent and should get a phone call any day now for an appt. I was meant to be seen in 8 weeks and the 8 weeks is up tomorrow. I'm going to be so nervous when I get one though!! :( 

Hi both, thanks for asking about me. I'm still feeling pretty lousy. I still have my fever, though I did have a couple of days with no fever a few days ago but now it's back. I've noticed it seems to come and go quite a lot. Still have swollen node, and I think I can feel another one next to it now.  I was puto antibiotics to see if that would clear any infection missed but it doesn't seem to have. Still having some pain in my left side close to my spleen. Doctor has arranged a whole bunch of blood tests but I believe other than LFTs they're all fine. Waiting on a few more results and if no better next week I will have a referral to the hospital for the fever, but he wouldnt tell me who I will be referred too.

Smoore - sorry you're still no closer to a diagnosis, I hope you are ok.

Rose - I hope you are doing well and that you are coping ok with your treatment 

Xx

Smoore- what a nightmare, let's hope you get that call soon as possible!

Riverdale- it's good that things are being investigated, all steps in the right direction for sure, but I'm so sorry you're feeling rubbishy. Completely understandable though. I'm intruiged who they will be referring you to at the hospital, do let us know how you're doinf. - if you want to of course! Ultimately it's none of my business! But did wonder how you were getting on.
