WELL, for those who haven't followed my posts
4 weeks ago I developed swollen neck glands and went to the doctor after a week. He suggested waiting another week and then having a blood test.
The blood test came back normal except high iron which Dr thinks is a red herrin. He has asked for a repeat blood test middle of June (3 weeks since the first blood test!).
Now my glands are still swollen and he said he wasn't sure if the high iron could cause it.
I am getting pretty anxious and fed up of waking up everyday and glands still swollen. I go to bed hoping they will vanish over night.
Should I go back to the doctors BEFORE this repeat test and tell him I still have the original problem? I feel like they just aren't doing enough.
I have read posts online and some doctors would atleast throw antibiotics at it but Ive been given nothing!
If I get an appointment to see him before the repeat blood test im worried he will just think errr why are you here??? Maybe I should see a different doctor? But then Im worried the 2nd doctor will not know what my glands felt like the first time around. I think they have gone down a bit and would like the original doctor to confirm it.
HELP having a bad day!!!!!!!!!
