Posted by ahw1990

(male/age 22/over weight) A little over a month ago I found one enlarged lymph node under my left armpit (hard and not movable). I didn't experience any pain but did realize my energy levels have dropped about a week prior. I went to a 24hr clinic and was given two antibiotics (amoxicillin & keflex). After finishing the antibiotics i noticed my original node was getting smaller but I developed three more under my right armpit. None of the Doctors in my area are accepting new patients at this time so I went to a nurse practitioner at my preferred office. She looked at my nodes and ordered a cbc, std/hiv, and a tb skin test. I was however told that I have fluid behind my eardrum. Later that night I noticed new itchy lymph nodes over my body (pubic area, chest, neck, legs, arms, and palms of hands). 72 hrs later I was back in her office and was informed my tests came back normal and that is was probably just something viral. I informed her of the new lumps and was told to come back in 2 weeks so she could look at them. That weekend I had two alcoholic drinks that caused a painful sting in my nodes and more nodes to pop up. I informed the nurse practitioner of this over the phone and she did not seem concerned. The day after the two drinks I slept for a total of 13 hrs and the following day I slept 15 hrs straight without waking. My my energy levels keep dropping and I am sleeping more and more. My appetite has been lacking and somedays just the smell of food bothers me. I feel like something is wrong with my body and that my symtoms wont get any better. I now have muscle and neck pain with occasional front right head ache. The lymph nodes keep spreading over my body and the original (left armpit) is back. Does anyone have any ideas of what could be causing this so I can ask my doctor about tests. My cbc results were:

WBC - 6.28 K/uL
RBC - 5.00 M/uL
HGB - 14.3 g/dl
HCT - 44.3%
MCV - 88.6 fl

Posted by Hockeylax889

Hi,
Sorry in advance, this is going to be a long question. Back in August I noticed a lump in my groin area and I kept an eye on it for a while but it didn't seem to go away although it did grow and shrink. By the time I decided I should probably get it checked out it was time for me to move back to school, and so I wasn't able to get it checked out. The lump was never painful, although at times it had a strange/tender feeling. I spent the whole semester constantly worrying about it and as the semester went on other symptoms appeared (these may or may not have been caused from anxiety and over thinking it) such as a strange feeling in my armpit(s). Im not sure how to describe it besides a strange feeling because it didn't hurt, it just felt almost as if I had a shirt on that was too small, even when I wasn't wearing a shirt. I never found any kind of lump in either armpit (which leads me to believe I was only experiencing the feeling because I was afraid the lump in my groin was lymphoma). I also had a lump on/below my earlobe, but this lump would come and go. Towards the end of the semester i noticed I was constantly tired and had a decreased appetite, but I convinced myself it was because I was stressed from school and not sleeping well. I had also lost anywhere from 5-10 pounds, but as I have an incredibly fast metabolism and can lose weight by sitting on a couch eating ice cream I didn't think much of it at first. When the semester was over (just after Christmas) I went to my regular doctor about the lump in my groin. I meant to ask about the other symptoms but I figured if I had cancer they would be able to find it from the lump and the other symptoms weren't as tangible. The doctor said he wasn't worried about it, but just to be sure sent me to a urologist to get it checked out. The urologist again said he wasn't worried after a physical examination. His explanation was that its normal for lymph nodes to grow (and sometimes stay enlarged) and that it was probably only noticeable because of how skinny I am. After this I put the whole thing out of my mind for a while, until I found a lump in my neck. When I found the lump in my neck I was utterly convinced I had cancer but I had already gone back to school. The lump in my ear (that had been coming and going) moved to more of the back of my ear. When school started to pick up I noticed I was constantly tired, but also "out of it" all the time, almost as if I was watching someone else live my life as points.
Other notes: The lump in my neck went away after a couple of weeks, and looking back on it, it was probably just a pimple. Also another reason why I was/am so freaked out is that my dad had lymphoma when he was my age.
My question is how urgent is it that I go back to the doctors. I know I should go again, if for nothing else but peace of mind, but right now I am at school and can't go to my usual doctor. I'd have to miss school to go to the doctors again, so can I wait a month or so until spring break to go to the doctors?
My thoughts: I looked up feeling out of It all the time cause this really bothered me, and I found that it can be caused by anxiety (its called depersonalization or something like that) which made be start to think that I really don't have many tangible symptoms and maybe this could all be in my head? The lingering issues such as the lumps in my groin/ear still have me concerned though.
Thanks for any feedback!View Thread

Friday

Mkxoxo3 posted:I am literally obsessing over my health right now. A few months ago I was in the shower and was rubbing my neck (which has been giving me issues for MONTHS) and noticed a very large hard lump on the right side. When I jumped out of the shower and looked in the mirror you could clearly see if from the outside of my skin. The lump is very hard and seems to be getting bigger. There is certainly some tenderness when I touch on it but it is not painful, just more of a discomfort. I went to the Dr. who told me it was a swollen lymph node. I had NO other symptoms at this time of a cold or anything of that sort. He prescribed me an antibiotic for my mysterious condition which I know I did not have. Mind you he didn't even touch or feel my neck. What a quack! So fast forward a few weeks and the lump is still there, hard, solid and driving me insane.
So last week I saw online a Groupon for a cheap chiropractic massage. I said what the heck why not, maybe this will help relieve some of my neck pain. So I went to the chiropractor and he took x-rays of my neck but couldn't really tell me too much from what he saw because it wasn't a formal appointment. In the x-ray you can CLEARLY see a large mass on the outside of my neck. I am literally freaking out. I have 2 young girls, I am recently single raising them alone. I don't know what to do. I made an appointment for Friday with a different Doctor in my practice to get a second opinion and I refuse to leave without answers. I am just not sure what this could be. It doesn't seem like a swollen lymph node. I am not really experiencing other symptoms as of now. A slight cough due to the cold circulating around my family, constant headaches that persist throughout the whole day (catscan of head came back clean) and achy shoulders and neck.
Does anyone have ANY insight. I just need to calm myself down before Friday. I am constantly crying literally obsessing over this. I just want to be ok

Posted by An_249388

Hi all,

I am new here and hoping to get some help from you wonderful people.

I am 27 years old, minimal exercise, 185 lbs and 6'1 in height, somewhat of a healthy eater, 10-12 hour intense work days in front of the computer in an HR function, going to school full-time as well for IT so the computer time is typically 14 hours per day over the past 10 years.

I believe I have been a hypochondriac my whole life and have always worried that something is wrong with me even when there wasn't. I was diagnosed with anxiety and take Diazepam every once in a while - probably once or twice per month. Other than that, my tests have been normal every year at the doctor.

Now to the issue, I have been having this weird feeling that something is wrong inside my head - like a Brain Tumor. I have been constantly thinking about it but do not have the funds to go get an MRI at this time. I have a $5,000 deductible at work and I recently got engaged and I pay for everything in our lives given that she is going to school full-time. My savings account has been depleted so I am saving the specialist as the last resort. Here are some of the symptoms I am having:

- Constant Nausea

- Blurred Vision sporadically - This is something that could be related to my contacts given I wear the overnight kind that I take out every 1.5 months.

- Constant feeling that I am dizzy

- Every time I sneeze or push when I use the restroom ( so any kind of pressure) and the top left side of my skull tingles.

- When I eat anything spicy, I seem to get a little dizzy

- Always feeling overwhelmed

- Mood Swings

- No passion for anything in life including outside activities or leaving the house

- Don't have the willingness to do anything but be in bed or be on my computer playing games with friends

I read on some of the Brain Tumor symptoms and looks like a lot of people have headaches associated with the tumor. I actually never have headaches.

So ultimately, I am not certain if I have anything or if it's just my imagination but I am starting to get really scared reading all this stuff on the internet. Hoping someone here can help me and possibly guide me in the right direction.

Thanks everyone!

Is this cancer? Dying in hospital for 5 days now.

My fiancee's Grandmother (who is 90 years old) was admitted into the hospital the day before thanksgiving...

Posted by Elliott22

My fiancee's Grandmother (who is 90 years old) was admitted into the hospital the day before thanksgiving because she was jaundice and her stools were white for a couple days. She wasn't experiencing any pain. The doctors said that some sort of mass is blocking her kidneys, pancreas, gallbladder and preventing them from functioning. But they didn't know what exactly this mass or blockage was. They said it could be cancer or it could be gallbladder stones.

This last Monday, she was given an antibiotic, vancomycin, and my fiancÃ©e was in the room with her. Her Grandmother complained of a bad taste in her mouth, and said something wasn't right and said it was the medicine. All of a sudden her eyes rolled back in her head. My fiancÃ©e called in the doctors. Her Grandmother died for 60 seconds. But the doctors were able to revive her. She has a DNR but the doctors didn't know that at the time.But they didn't explain to anyone what was actually wrong, it was a mystery to them why she died. But due to these complications, she had to be put on a ventilator. She was taken off the ventilator Wednesday morning. She was on the ventilator for about 48 hours.

So they took her off the ventilator and she was breathing on her own, she seemed like her old selfâ€¦she even ordered lunch from the nurse.
And then a few mins later, she stopped breathing and died, again. 4 minutes later, the doctors said that she gasped for air, and came back to life. How does this happen?! The doctor's can't explain why she died. She does have a pacemaker (so wondering if that has anything to do with it?)

My fiancÃ©e and I got to the hospital after this, and she was awake, and just looking around. Her eyes were really watery and she just looked like she had the crap beaten out of her. But she was alert..and she started talking. Her voice wasn't anything like her normal voice. It was very deep/raspy. But she was talking and attempting to have conversations with people. Everyone in the family was saying their goodbyes. She told me at one point that she might beat this. But everyone at this point didn't think so. Because whatever was wrong with her was killing her in some way. Her blood enzyme test came back & the cancer markers were 5x the amount of a normal healthy person's. So they said they are pretty sure she has pancreatic cancer. But they couldn't be 100% sure without giving her an endoscopyâ€¦which they couldn't do because of how weak she was.

So my fiancÃ©es father decided to take her off all of her medications and put her on a morphine drip so she dies comfortably. She had colon cancer a year ago, and had surgery to remove it, but has said she doesn't ever want to do chemo. That if she gets cancer again that she just wants to die peacefully. So since, it was pretty certain she has cancer, my fiancÃ©es father decided to let her die peacefully. They started her out on 2mg of morphine an hourâ€¦.now she is on 5mg an hour. So she has been "dying" for 5 days now. Her breaths per minute at first was 6-8 and then one day it was 4-5â€¦..but bumped back up to 7-8â€¦and a day ago it was 12 per minute, and now its 16.

I'm starting to wonder what would happen if we weaned her off morphine and put her back on her medications. I feel like she is really fightint this. And the longer she takes to die, the more sad it becomes. What if she isn't supposed to die? What if she doesn't really have cancer? At this rate she will probably die of starvation — she has only been hooked up to saline and morphine for the last 5 days. But she is a tank, and isnt dying. She is stable and looks great. BUT she hasn't been responsive at all in the last 4 days. My fiancÃ©es father mentioned we wouldn't be able to revive her at this point because she hasn't swallowed in days..and because of that she would have to be put on a feeding tube the rest of her life, which she wouldn't want. Is this true that she wouldn't be able to swallow again?

Help!
