alll different shapes and all quite small for the past two mounth I've had burning up not a high fever or body temp being high just the feeling of constantly warmth and i now have flu like symptoms groggy throat n some aches.i can't begin to tell u how worried Iam it's lymphoma I'm so so scared and every doctor has said it looks fine even my bloods chest x ray and seeing a haemologist everything seemed fine but he lymph nodes remain and two have increased in size and I only starts of with one enlarged one.i actually feel so stupid now even booking a doctors appointment because I've been that many times but have the voice at the back of my head saying I have to im not getting better. Please help I know my thoughts may be irrational and I know people can't give me a solid yes or no u have this or that but even some one to talk to right now would make me feel 10x better.. I thank you in advance and apologise also if it is irrational what I'm doing .

I have extreme health anxiety that I think is causing depression but the symptoms make me think that I am sick. It started 4/14/17 when I had a fever of 104, extreme back pain and swollen lymph nodes in my groin. I went to the ER. The doctor ordered blood work a chest X-ray and a Ct scan. My blood work was off (wbc was 12.2) chest X-ray normal and Ct scan good. So I was prescribed a zpack and sent home.
After two weeks I still felt crumby ( fevers, night sweats, headaches fatigue) I waited another two weeks (5/15/17) and went back to the ER to have my blood done again. This time my blood work came good (wbc 7.4) Except my lymphocyte % 13 which was below count and my lymph nodes are still swollen.
So this brings us to present day and finally getting an appointment to my primary doc. As soon as I saw him I explained my anxiety towards the whole sickness. He looked me over reviewed my previous blood work and felt my lymph nodes, comenting that they were a bit big but assured me I was ok.
My opinion is to try to take credence in what your doctor is saying. And please stay of google. That's where I went wrong. And now I'm dealing with depression caused from the anxiety of all this
Thank you Adele can you add people on this site lol I'm not sure how it works
yeah I hear you I'm already diagnosed with bipolar type two so the effect it's having on mood is just not good at all. I'll try my best to stay away from Google and just await to see if they get enlarged beyond normal and hope no other symptoms appear(easier said that done) I really thank you for the reaponce as currently it's playing havoc with everything in my life, I hope you are in good health too pipboy.
I have had 4 swollen lymph nodes in my head/neck for about 4 months now. I had am MRI done on the first bump that appeared and i saw my reg dr, dermotologist, and an ENT and they all guess it's skin related (either my acne or bad dandruff is causing the swollen nodes). I have such severe anxiety over it, I don't trust drs at all after hearing about misdiagnoses from ppl I know, and I keep googling and that leads me to worry I have lymphoma. I try to remind myself that the nodes are all small and haven't gotten any larger which is a good sign. And I also don't have any other symptoms like fever, night sweats, or weight loss. B

But i still just worry bc ive never had swollen lymph nodes b4 without an obv illness or infection. I wish they would just do a biopsy and say yes u are fine but they all don't think its neccessary yet. I hate this waiting game.
Hey man, I get paranoid about my lymph nodes too. But, they get swollen for various reasons other than cancer. If you're sick with the flu or a cold they can swell. Its not a bad sign at all, just means your body could be fighting off bad bacteria.
