Hello,
I have had swollen neck glands on and off for the past month or so (prior to this I had one swollen neck gland that was ultrasound tested and my doc wasn't worried).
I have been tested for glandular fever which came back negative. I have also been a little more tired than usual. I have had tonsilitis twice and an inflammed throat as well.
I have also had a choking feeling around my lower neck on and off. My GP thought my thyroid was enlarged so I had an ultrasound on this too but it came back ok.
I had a full blood count last week and all was ok with that. Neither of the two GP's I have seen seem overly concerned.
But me - well of course I am dying, have Thyroid cancer (which my Mum had a few years back) or some other disease that is going to leave me on my death bed.
I just can't understand why if my tests have all come back ok my glands are still up and down and my thyroid. Just today I had that feeling that I was choking or like someone had their hands around my neck for a few hours.
I want it all to go away and I want to be able to enjoy my Christmas with my family and my two small kids. But all I can think of is dying, the GP's missing something and now they are closed until early January and I think that these wasted days will bring me closer to my death :lac:
Thanks for reading - and I am sorry:weep:
