What Do You Think (Please Would Like Response From People Whom Actually Have Disease)

[RedRed76]

6/14 Now for over 2.5 weeks I have had swollen glands and it been getting worse. I had first thought was just getting sick and waited a week before going to the doctor.
During that Week Other Symptoms:
Shortness Breathe~ Loss Appetite ~ Swollen Glands ~ Sore Throat (at time) ~  Excess mucus ~ Major Fatigue
6/21 Once went to doctor: noted I had a Low Grad Fever [ Tested for Step - Negative ]
Was given a ZPack and noted: Fever ~ Acute Pharyngitis ~ Lymphadenopathy ~ Nasal Logiciel ~ Acute Sinusitis
Well finished the Zpack and getting worse.
Went to Doctors again (Getting Dizziness and Feeling Like Fainting / No Sore Throat / Back Pain / Chest Pain / Very Fatigue)
6/27 Once at doctors Again: Tested for Mono [Negative] Blood was taken / Given another round of antibiotic 2xday for 10 days.
(During that time more Shortness of Breathe , Notice Now Weight Loss, More Feeling of Faintness, A little itchy)
6/29 Just got call from doctor and blood test was said to be all normal ( And puzzled that I was still not feeling better, was told to come back in on Friday if I was still not feeling better.) Just having that conversation, very short cause me to catch breath and cough.
Just got another call again from doctor putting me on Steroid pack and inhaler. And to come in on Tuesday if not feeling better.

Does this sound like anything any of you have gone threw with Lymphoma / Leukemia ?

I had went in to the doctors again because of concern over the amount of petchiae I keep getting.

My doctor saw nothing wrong with it said that she was concern about vasulidus. (Which is a rash of petchiae.) [ What I didn't.]

My lymph still swollen she told me that some virus could take 2 months for them to go do. We did do another CBC and Bleeding Time test. (THANKFULLY) She did it more of my concern because I am still really fatigued and swollen.

My white count is currently: 3.2 ( I was drawn 2 weeks ago and was at 6.9)
Something called granuloctes has dropped ( she said has something to do with immunity)
And I had when younger (didnt know ) CMV.

Now my doctor is concerned (due to blood and family history). I have a CT for Neck Monday.

Sorry you haven't found an answer. This reminds me somewhat of people with chronic Lyme, of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) which is said to begin with an infection. There are more than a few conditions that medical science doesn't yet understand.

Thanks for making the effort to post back with an update, even though you must be worn out.

I went to ENT, he did a quick scope and nothing down my throat. He is having me do a Baruim Swallow (for neck) and blood test: Thyroid Profile w/TSH - ANA - RF.

I have now lost 6 pounds, in a month.
My glands in neck still swollen, very tender right now (I have noticed 1 pattern is that they are very tender in neck during my monthly cycle.)
But for the last 3 days no fever ( but getting night sweats.)
Still very weak and fatigue.
[Able to eat reg. food from time to time have to use water, food get caught.]

I figure by now this all just be over with...

Still Ill and still wonder ??/
Well got some of my test back, I don't have Valley Fever. I don't have Mono, but did find out that I show I had it when I was child. (No recollection.)

Went to ER last night, my throat feels likes it getting tighter. But when open mouth air way completely open. I started to vomit during this time, profusely. I was given Benadryl, Zofan, and P xxx (another stomach med.) I actually had to get 2 shots of Zofan. Something weird I notice when I had IV, I could taste it. The slain tasted like metal to me. (This is not my first time having IV: my daughter while pregnant made me very sick. I could not drink water without vomiting it. I was on Zofan for 6 months and 3 ER visit for dehydration.) The ER could only help with symptoms since no ENT which he said I need, he could not even refer me to specialist.

I am very weak, no change. Still having on and off fevers. Still swollen glands in neck. And now having issue eating, have to drink water every time its getting stuck. (Im eating soup no more mushy so not so much complication.)

I have an appointment for ENT this Friday. I will keep all posted. Be nice to get to the end of this.....

From what I have been reading there warn about when other glands start to swell.

---

lymphoma would not spread so much in a few days, but infection can

also, nodes wouldn't enlarge so quickly from lymphoma, but can from infection

No change with the antibiotic.

Not by wildfire and don't smoke.
