I have been seeing a neuro. for a couple months now. He has run every test thinkable and still I dont have answers. I began thinking maybe its a lymph node. I have severe pain in the back of my neck, behind my ear and in jaw area. All this began by me having 7 migraines in 8 weeks. The pain in the neck and ear would get so bad I would wind up with a migraine. I have been checked by ENT as well. MRI of neck, brain, and spine. The biggest complaints I have are the above mentioned neck, ear pain, sweats (not hot flashes really sweats that drench me), weakness on left side of body. I am on pain meds for the pain. Yesterday at my appt. he prescribed KEPPRA as a preventitive. Also, ATEX if I feel a migraine coming on. I have gained 25 pounds since Jan 23! I figured because my GP put me on predisone at the beginning of all this. But I am still gaining. No I am not as active, because my body does not allow me to be. My doc has ruled out MS. Most of my sx were pointing in that direction, but all tests came back good.
I have swelling in my left side of neck, under arms, and groin pain. I thought this was just part of the pain and weakness i have been experiencing.
Should I mention lymphoma to my neuro? I am getting no relief at this time. All kinds of blood work has been done. Would something have shown up there? I am at the end of my rope and just looking for answers.
THANKS
