Everything started back in January when I felt numbness in my legs and hands. Not sure what it was Doctors though I may have a virus this went away.
Now in the last 2 weeks I have had this reoccur with a large swollen gland under my arm.
I am examined and most of my lymph nodes are swollen over my whole body. Apparently these glands pressing on nerves is what is causing the numbness.
I also had bad acid indigestion like symptoms a while back giving chest pains. I still get these occasionally.
I also have some tenderness in my abdomen the doctor says this is likely because I have swollen glands there too.
I am now undergoing a load of blood tests, xrays, ultrasounds but no biopsies.
I am absolutely petrified I have lymphoma.
I am 29 and my wife and I are about to start trying for a baby. I don't want this and I don't know how I can cope for the long wait till the tests are complete.
I also swear my own mind is making me worse... never had night sweats until I read it is a possible symptom now I am dripping wet.
Please any words of support will help
