32F, I've been sick and getting worse for a while now. Symptoms include fever, unintentional weight loss (30lbs since January), pain, night sweats, swollen lymph nodes, nausea, and vomiting. I'm sure I'm probably missing something, but that's the main issues. My primary isn't really doing anything about it, she just keeps sending referrals, which would be fine, except all of those Dr's are booked months out, some not even until next year!! I'm at my wits end.. I'm suffering so much, it's hard to even explain. We did finally do an ultrasound on my neck and parotid (which is also enlarged), and I'm SO confused, because there were several lymph nodes larger than 1cm, some of which were super round, I saw while they were doing it. The report said "the significance of the lymph nodes is unknown, but recommend biopsy if they grow or persist." Problem is, they've already grown and persisted over the last several months while waiting for an ultrasound. So I kinda feel like they should be looking further into this now, but they're not. Please help! If anyone has any advice, or any idea what they think this is so I can give my dr a starting point, it would be greatly appreciated!! I'm including pictures of some of my swollen lymph nodes. The main one is the one above my left collarbone. I'll include the rest in the comments.
