Hi all,
It’s been awhile for me, but I have returned. I’ve been really sick on and off for the last 3.5 weeks. It started with a rather high fever spike, and then a nasty sore throat etc. Then is sort of went away, and then this past Sunday, I woke up with chest discomfort, dizziness, a fever, etc. Also, I had a very runny nose, in addition to a hoarse cough. Now, I want to mention obviously I’m panicking about a swollen lymph node. I happen to notice it today, so I have no idea how long it’s been there for. I had hooked up with someone on October 30th, (no penetrative sex, just oral and kissing), so I’m scared it’s HIV, though I had him take an Oraquick test and it was negative, and I took an Oraquick test a few days ago and it was negative for me too.
And if it’s not HIV, I’m scared it’s leukemia or lymphoma. Yes I’ve been sick, but I can’t think of a single time I’ve had a swollen lymph node in my life and it scares the hell out of me. Can someone talk me down, or help me rationalize my concerns? I do have an appointment with my GP on Monday, so I’ll definitely be asking about it then, I just freak out that it’ll get bigger, or more will pop up. :(
Thank you so so much, I love you all!
