Worried about Hodgkin's Lymphoma!
« on: March 04, 2013, 08:53:43 AM »
Hello everyone, I'm just wondering how I can tell if I have swollen lymph nodes in my neck. I have terrible health anxiety and I'm scared that I might have hogdkin's lymphoma. I have been feeling my neck constantly and I thought I felt a few swollen lymph nodes in my neck. I had my mother feel my neck and she said she didn't feel any swollen lymph nodes. But I could have sworn I felt numerous bumps under my skin. I sit up in my bed pressing down and I feel like the whole side is stiff almost. I have been to the doctor about other medical issues I had, and they have felt my neck and said nothing was out of the ordinary...but that was 2 months ago and I wasn't concerned about this until now. I keep feeling my neck and I'm scared that they are swollen lymph nodes...but like I said my mother felt my neck and said that she felt nothing swollen. The only other thing that I've had was itchy legs, (which comes and goes) and everyone says that it's dry skin because it's so cold outside and I take hot showers. I lost 5 pounds in 2 months, from which made me nervous, but I did notice I wasn't eating normally, but that has since returned to normal. I'm just scared...please help me.
I don't have a fever at all either...I take my temperature almost every single day...and it's usually 97.2-98.0
