For about a week I have been feeling fatigue, dehydration, weakness in muscles, fever, chills, and one case of tremors.

I woke up one morning after drinking a bit too much (I'm an occasional drinker, I drink once every couple months) and both my armits hurt a little. I noticed a small lump in the left armpit, which went away, and a LARGE lump in the right armpit, which seems to be getting slightly bigger everyday.

After two or three days of discovering the lump, my spleen started to get tender/sore and my fatigue/weakness is getting worse. I have a dryness in my mouth and a feeling of dehydration. The lump is rubbery, round and about 2cm inside my armpit.

I have had problems with lymph nodes in my neck, jaw, under ear for a long while now (2 years of swelling and slight pain/discomfort).

It has only been a week and the symptoms seem to be worsening.
Should I be afraid of having Lymphoma?
And does lymphoma strike people so fast?

I am going in to see a doctor today and I'll update the topic with what they find.

I hope this is just an infection and not what you are fearing.

We will look forward to hearing how things went at the doctor's.

Actually, got a call from the doctor.
I am lucky and I do not have lymphoma.

Must have been a virus or some infection I did not know about.

Thanks Vee!
