Hi,
I have been battling with HA for all my life, I am almost forty now. But I have always been able to overcome it and get back to normal life maybe after a visit to the doctor just for reassurance.
This time i have been finding it hard, I started 6 months ago with a felling of a lump of something caught in the back of my throat, a little numbness in my face more like tingling. I went to the GP and did an ultrasound, a few lymph nodes where found but they were not big in any way to be worried about. For safety I was refereed to a ENG where he found a small asymmetry in the pharynx and he said for safety we'll do a CT to put your mind at rest. Any the CT came back all clear, but the radiologist said parts were unclear and recommended a MRI to be safe. That came back fine also. I went to another ENG for a second opinion and he has also told me that he can find nothing to be worried about.Got bloods done, all fine.
Symptoms have remained and I have developed nausea on top of it, I am not sleeping that well, the nodes have become painful (i keep touching them) I was given Trittico to help me sleep, not really working. Since then I have been back to the GP who had another look and found nothing too, got bloods done three months apart from the other again all fine. Went to a Neuro for the face and he also told me that he cant see anything clinical from his examinations and the MRI. So in total I have seen five doctors and all have told me that they can't find anything. Chest Xray and Gastro also done everything fine.
I am still worrying as I don't feel any better, in fact worse, I have expressed my fears of lymphoma (my mam died of it, also with a long string of doctors saying it was nothing till then found it) to the doctors and they say that there is nothing to indicate anything like that at the moment and that I am worrying to much, and suggested that I take to a counselor for my anxiety. Just would like to hear any opinions from the members here..
