Hello everyone
I have stressful times at work and am moving house, so am more anxiety prone than usual. Just before Christmas I got a really bad attack of tonsillitis - never had it before, it was horrendous. I took antibiotics, it all seemed to get better, and then it recurred in January, but went away without antibiotics. Fast forward to now and I can definitely feel swollen and sore glands in my neck, throat, under my arms and in my groin. They ache constantly, but none are so large as to be alarming, I don't think. I don't have any other symptoms like night sweats or bruising or weight loss. I have the occasional high temperature. Does this sound like glandular fever? Or something else? I'm really looking for reassurance that it's highly unlikely to be lymphoma. My huge internal fear is that I have very swollen internal glands that I just can't feel externally.
Doctor has suggested antianxiety meds and a blood test for glandular fever. I'll be going back to see her next week as I didn't feel so awful then, and nor were my glands quite as sore as they are now. I can't see her until Tuesday, though, so would just like some reassurance, if you don't mind.
Thank you in advance!
