by gregski, Jun 21, 2008 01:57PM
Hello, I had a lymph node under my jaw appear 5 weeks ago, my doctor prescribed amoxicillin on the friday, by the tuesday i was in hospital with jaundice, rashes, itching, peeling skin, fatigue, shortness of breath, after various blood tests the docs dont know what caused the problems only that some something caused a general hepatitis. 5 weeks later i still have the lymph node under my jaw and am extremely tired and have a dull ache in the lower part of my body. my doctors are still assessing me but are being pretty useless. does anyone have any ideas? many thanks greg

An autoimmune form of hepatitis can really give rise to symptoms the same as yours. These can have lasting effects of tiredness and fatigue. It is important to rule out specific autoimmune conditions such as lupus, sjogren's, etc. What happened to you may also be an adverse drug reaction bordering on steven's johnson syndrome. You should also discuss with them regarding the possibility of doing a biopsy of the lymph node.
