Hi everyone, I'm new here! I have always read forums etc but finally decided to make an account and put my own story down! Months ago I noticed my jaw felt tender underneath I then noticed a lump and a pea size lump where if I was a man right next to my Adam's apple would be. I went to my GP had two rounds of antibiotics as I had white spots on my tonsils too and all is still swollen and spots still there. Bloods are okay, and a swab of my throat came back normal! My doctor sent me off for a scan last week and since I've found another lymph node in my throat and one in my armpit. They have all started since before Christmas and I have had on and off a runny nose/sore throat come and goes and now I have a coughleft arm should and neck pain. 

I get warm at night and have done since the birth of my son in December 2018! He's breastfed and he's slept through once so I've never really had a decent night sleep I guess it may be taking a toll on my immune system. 

my doctors said "lymph nodes are normal to be raised" this just seems odd. I'm a new patient there and I have health anxiety due to misdiagnosis of sepsis and penomonua when I was 16 (now 24) which lead to me becoming partially deaf. I feel like my family think I over worry and of course now I hve my son I'm terrified of anything bad happening! 

I am waiting on my scan which seems to be taking ages to come through, how long does this normally take ?

also is my doctor right in saying lymph nodes swell and that's that!? I've seen many threads on here saying bloods were normal only to receive the worse news a few months later 

thanks for reading - Becky xx
