So long story short I have been fearing lymphoma and been given the all clear by a specialist haematologist and then the ENT today.

I had blood tests done by the haematologist 6 weeks ago. They covered specific lymphoma markers, liver, kidneys, full blood count, iron levels and all the usual things. Also markers for auto immune diseases. At this appointment I also had an examination down by the doctor who said no abnormal swollen glands.

Had a follow up last week and was told bloods are 'perfect and indicate I am very healthy'. Exam same as last time, nothing to feel.

ENT today examined tonsils and neck said normal. Also said no swollen nodes. I asked about ones under chin and he felt again and said they are node lymph nodes, they are just saliva glands.

Great news! Except why am I still having symptoms?!

Neck pain and I am sure of I press really hard I can feel nodes on my neck
Feeling as if I am getting a virus every few weeks
Sweating at night
Groin node (doctors say caused by repeat abscesses)
Just generally feeling like crap


I know I need to accept there is nothing sinister but can't understand how I can feel so rubbish and there be nothing wrong.

Oh god I feel for you so much. I am going through exactly the same thing but different symptoms. I cant understand how I feel so physically bad if there is nothing wrong. I really hope that you manage to finally accept that youre fit and well and if you find the answer would you let me know. Take care xx

Most of your symptoms are symptoms of anxiety. Be reassured by your results and try to accept that you are fine and well.
