I've had a 1.75cm lymph node on the right side of my neck for at least 6 years. I only just started freaking out about it roughly 2 years ago when my aunt was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma. Since then I can't even tell you how many times I've been to the dr. I've had multiple CBCs done, and one ultrasound that came back normal.
My last CBC was 2 months ago, again normal. However, I can feel lymph nodes everywhere, in my neck, collarbone, groin. This makes me so anxious that I was put on Lexapro 4 months ago.
Three weeks after starting Lexapro I began to itch, and still do. The Dr. said it's common with this medicine yet I can hardly find any other people who can relate so it's starting to make me think it's something more sinister. I also have an achy right elbow, which could easily be tennis elbow as I've had the same job sitting at a computer for years.
Despite everything looking as if it's in my favor I am so convinced I have follicular lymphoma that it's effecting my job, my marriage, and my parenting.
I just called my GP to ask how to wean off of Lexapro because I can't take the paranoia the itch is causing.
I've gone as far as forcing myself to eat like crap for 4 months to make sure I can gain weight, which I put on 23lbs.
I'm losing my mind.
