Please help me!!

Hi,
sorry of my English.
i was diagnosed with mono about 8 months ago. it was the worst diseases that i have ever experienced. still i am suffering from some symptoms (i have enlarged tonsil and i can see that right part of my neck is inflamed). one week ago suddenly i had a severe pain in lower right part of my abdominal.
i went to emergency and they were suspected to appendicitis. they took a CT scan, blood test and urine test and everything was clear!!! but 10 days after, in addition to my abdominal i have pain in my lower part of my back. i have read that abdominal pain and low back pain without any explanation are sign of lymphoma!!!! today i went to see another doctor. she told me that she can not feel any nodes in my neck but she confirmed that my right part of my neck is inflamed due to inflammation of my muscles in my neck because of mono (would it be possible!!!!?) she sent me again for another CT scan and blood test! i am so scared now! is it possible to develop lymphoma just 8 months after mono?!! i have also low fever!
please help me.

There is no minimum period of time to develop lymphoma after mono..and your simply assuming you would jump from mono to lymphoma. Quiet your worried mind and relax. Ken is correct you sound like you have a very reactive immune system. Mono can take a while to get over..and you have to allow it the time by getting proper rest and eating correctly.  You might consider researching what supplements or foods can help you build up your immune system. Having had mono many times as a kid, and always sickly as a kid I was not surprised when my physician said I had a weakened immune system. Anyone with a weakened immune system or an auto immune problem has to be very care that you do eat well and get a lot of rest, you'll find that your energy level and moods and body strength will stay stronger. Good luck ps, my best to you .

Hi, it sounds as if you have a very reactive immune system - and an infection.
