Hello everyone
I've not had to post on here for years - I managed to get over my last major bout of HA by keeping busy and staying stable. However, I have stressful times at work and am moving house, so am more anxiety prone than usual. Just before Christmas I got a really bad attack of tonsillitis - never had it before, it was horrendous. I took antibiotics, it all seemed to get better, and then it recurred in January. Fast forward to now and I can definitely feel swollen and sore glands in my neck, throat, under my arms and in my groin. They ache constantly, but none are so large as to be alarming, I don't think. I don't have any other symptoms like night sweats or bruising or weight loss. Does this sound like glandular fever? Or something else? I'm really looking for reassurance that it's highly unlikely to be lymphoma. my huge internal anxiety is that I have very swollen internal glands that I just can't fee externally. Doctor has suggested antianxiety meds and a blood test for glandular fever.
Thank you in advance!
