Just to give you a little bit of an update. Yesterday the fever (38.3) was more noticeable and having had these fevers for 3 weeks now I decided that I would do an e-consult. I had a telephone call from the GP who asked me lots of questions and eventually she said, the things that worry me are the fever and occasional cough, coupled with your LNs that haven't gone down - with things like these we worry about lymphoma (I hadnt told her that was my worry before - but after she had said that I agreed that was what I was also worried about). So she wanted me to be seen but the with complicating factors of covid - while I have a temp and am classed as a 'hot' patient I could not be seen at my own surgery, instead I was booked into a hot clinic.
Here I saw a doctor who took a very brief history and examined me. Told me I did indeed have a temperature, my HR was 129 but my sats were 99%, he listened to my chest and had a feel of the LNs. He agreed that I had nodes in my neck, but explained he did not think this was covid and I would not have to self-isolate any longer. He has ordered some bloods and I should hear from the surgery as to when they will be done.
So none the wiser, still worrying.
