i dont know where to put this because its not exactly "pain"

Posted by faeriequeene @faeriequeene, Apr 9, 2025

in 2017 i felt something puffy in the left side of my neck. had a normal ultrasound in 2019
i had shingles one year and then something like the flu. i returned to finish my degree and worked full time
i ended up worn out and a weird chest pain at times or shortness of breath. was prescribed albuterol but no response to that treatment. i dont realy wheeze.
my neck felt larger and no one claimed to feel like that one doctor did
then i got pneumonia this year. i was sick for a month before they said maybe its pneumonia.
i had four colds following that in a 4 month span.
been having climbing platelets for some years as well.
i got a new ultrasound after a doctor believed me that my neck felt puffy to me still and i got these results. no one seems concerned.

Scattered lymph nodes are seen within the neck bilaterally. The largest on the right measure up to 2.6 x 0.7 x 1.9 cm at level 2. A level 3 node measures 2.2 x 0.4 x 0.9 cm and a level 5 node measures 1,4 x 0.3 x 1.2 cm. On the left at 2 level 2 lymph nodes are identified measuring 1.9 x 0.7 x 1.3 cm and 1.5 x 0.8 x 1.1 cm.
COMMENTS: The regional lymph nodes are unremarkable
IMPRESSION:
1. No thyroid nodules.
2. Prominent lymph nodes, right greater than left, within normal limits.

i got stuff about fna but was informed that fna would only apply to thyroid nodules which i dont have.
my primary symptoms now are fatigue, shortness of breath, low grade fevers for no reason.
i dont know what to do.

I know this is a very personal question but do you currently have or ever had breast implants? If so, you may want to research BII. There is a FB group that provides a lot of information and support.

@tdukerryder it's okay to ask. I was asked this during my mammogram last year despite the fact that I wouldn't really look like I have implants. ... No one knows who I am here.so I don't see it as weird. I don't have breast implants.

since i have seen quite a few suggestions frequently of lymphoma and lyme sometimes, should i be asked to be tested for both? does anything rule out lymphoma? my research said that it isnt very likely the breast biopsy would have done it but breast lymphoma does exist its just not often there.
i had been tested negative for lyme twice but could do cultures im told. i havent really been exposed to ticks or really in the woods.
