Not myself.

I've been to the doctor a bunch of times this month, one told me I had a viral infection by just looking at my throat. The other told me I had generalized lymph something and not to worry. My blood test came back completely normal yet I have at least 6 swollen lymph nodes in my neck and one near my groin. Two of the ones on my neck are painful. I'm tired of not feeling myself and now I have pressure in my ear and I've noticed it hasn't created much wax. Idk what to do, I'm tired of stressing over school and money and now this.....

I want to feel myself again :( I'm starting to feel depressed, like I'm never gonna get better....

Because of the swollen lymph nodes I'll agree with the others who think you have a viral infection. Maybe those swollen glands haven't released too many lymphocytic/phagocytic cells yet to affect your bloodwork as of the date it was collected. You know that a virus takes it's time to work through your body but eventually it will be gone and you'll feel much more like your old self again. In the meantime, you need extra rest and fluids. You may need to take a decongestant to dry out your ear. Just keep in mind to avoid phenylephrine, which is stronger than pseudoephedrine/Sudafed when it comes to making you jumpy. You'll find these ingredients in the fine print on decongestant packages.

Hang in there, you'll be better and back to normal soon enough.

Thanks so much!!! I'm only 20 and I always think the worse when stuff like this happen :/ I'm a healthy person, or at least I try to be and I'm constantly drinking water, hot tea, and all kinds of liquids.

Hey all of my lymph nodes are swollen! I can feel them all neck, groin, underarms and they have been up about 10 years! Don't panick 😘 X

Why though it makes no sense to me :/ does yours hurt sometimes?

I don't know why I can feel them doc says because I'm slim.. I get sharp pains in my neck and sometimes a dull pain where my lymph nodes are x
