My grandmother had this, too. She's had it about 5 years and it's constantly up and down. She's in the hospital right now with another bad infection, on 3 different abx. Melissa, I'm sorry you've been so sick, but I'm glad to hear they have admitted you because this is where you need to be to get answers.

Melissa in Australia Posted July 25, 2023 Author Share Posted July 25, 2023 I have had a huge amount of blood tests and blood cultures done today. And will again tomorrow. Also full body scans. They are looking for a more accessible lymph node that is swollen to biopsy. There isn't an obvious one found by touch. Otherwise they will do lung biopsy They are thinking possable lymphoma. 😢😢😢 I don't really like that suggestion makes sarcoid look more preferable I was very teary this morning. I just can't believe this level of exhaustion 42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
