Hello,
I finally decided to make an account here. I have been on this website many times for help with my health anxiety issues! Glad to finally post. Here is my anxiety...
I have been struggling with general fear of C. I found a swollen lymph node on the top right part of my neck about 1.5 years ago. I went to the doctor who then ordered my labs and ultra sound. The results of the labs were all normal except a moderate D deficiency in which I have been now taking a supplement for. The ultrasound did confirm a swollen lymph node, and a small cyst on my thyroid. Very small - in the millimeters. He wanted me to get it checked out again in about 6 months, in which I did and it had grown very little. My lymph node was (and is) still swollen but the cyst on the thyroid is still in millimeters. He had me go to an ENT to check for certain and the ENT said it's growing so slow and it's so small he didn't want to biopsy it. He wants me to go back in a year with another ultrasound. Sounds pleasant right? Not for me!
I have had other symptoms that worry me, off on and on for the past 1.5 years or so. Those are pretty regular night sweats (not drenching at all, but just light sweats), weight gain (45 pounds), off and on cough, change in stool schedule, overall sickly feeling, sweat off and on randomly, swollen throat feeling (like something is stuck there, effects my breathing), and I feel weak here and there. I haven't lost my appetite at all.
I am 22 years old and got married last year. I also think I found a swollen lymph node in my groin earlier today. Then again I read that you can feel them? I have had a discomfort under my arms and groin area for a while. The doctor had me get a chest xray and it showed absolutely nothing. I have a couple little red bumps under my skin on my hands (Petechiae?), and a brown streak through my thumb that has been there forever. I have been slightly dizzy off and on and the occasional headache.
I have diagnosed myself with just about every form of cancer... most recently lukemia. I really can't focus on work, family, anything right now. I do have anxiety problems but don't take medication. Both sides of my family both had thyroid issues. My mom has half of hers and my dad's side has had issues as well. However all my labs showed no issues... I just really cannot seem to focus on anything else but me being deathly ill. Any encouragement would help.
Thanks.
