Severe itching today, i mean i could claw my skin off. It's all over my back, abdomen and arms, like prickly heat. Going in bath to see if it helps, can't cope with it.....x
Hello again Dennis, how are you? As far as i can tell, my tonsils seem to be ok, although for the past few days i have been having a dull throb in my left side. If i apply a little pressure there by putting my hand around the area, thumb towards the back and fingers towards the front, it feels sore, like i've bruised it. It is getting quite uncomfortable!! Oh, and these little red spots keep appearing, apart from that i'm just generally exhausted. PUT ME IN A BAG N SHAKE ME UP, ha ha.
Regards

Hi Teresa.
How are you doing?
From what you can see, are your tonsils also enlarged? The throat also has elaborate network of lymph nodes. Enlarged lymph nodes can cause symptoms especially when it impinges on the surrounding normal structures. Due to pressure effect, enlarged lymph nodes can cause pain on the area it impinges.
Just an update. Got my biopsy booked for the 2nd of April, both sides of groin now 3 cm. x
Hello again!!!! Recently, you asked me to keep posting new developements, relax and stay positive. Am really trying hard to do that, but this morning i found another lump, just below my collar bone, right side. It's only small but quite hard. I know that lumps above are not a good sign, but what about below?? I am also having some pain in my neck and it sometimes hurts to swallow, but it's not a sore throat hurt, if you know what i mean. I am at haem next week but it doesn't seem to be quick enough. Thanks for listening
Regards
Teresa
Hello again Dennis, Thankyou for your continued support and yes i will keep posting. I am glad i found you guys to talk to, this really is a wonderfull place!! I'm feeling quite bad really. The pain under my rib just feels like toothache at the moment and my throat feels a little raw. So tired that i have to sit or lay down even after mild exertion. Had some good news yesterday from gastro, biopsies of stomach and colon came back clear and there is no sign of coeliac disease. Only thing is, the more good news i get like that really narrows down what could be causing all my problems doesn't it? X
