Brief Answer:
I dont think there is something nasty.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,

Thank you for posting your query on HCM.

Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that generally in medical terms we try to fit all symptomd in one disease . I see that you have multiple issues which are common in autoimmune disorder or lymphomas . But adequate testing has been done and I also dont think you have these diseases . Still we can repeat them after six months and see whats the result . In my opinion this could be Fibromyalgia but I would like to see your reports first before labelling you anything.

Hi i will upload my nails aswell for you to look at have you any idea at all what could be causing this ? Why do you not think its lymphoma could you explain in detail to me ? As i am worried ! I have anxiety but i honestly dont think thats causing all these symptoms including my nails joint pain.. And what about the itchy hands and feet ? Could that be lymphoma or liver or kidneys my liver and kidney function tests have been fine . So would lymphoma show on bloodwork and autoiimune could it still be this ? What do you advice me to do from here ?
Thanks XXXXXXX

Dear Madam,

Firstly your nails , they are not half and half nails , seems like normal to me . Also in low hemoglobin you can sometimes have nails like yours . Now lymphoma , since your CBC is normal , chances are very less of having it but definitive will be bone marrow examination . Since you dnt have enough features it could not be recommended . Also only one possibilty is evolving autoimmune disease in which initially tests can be negative and later on become positive . For this I told you we can repeat it after 6 months . Did you read about Fibromyalgia and do you think you match with its features ?

I am worried about lymphoma because of the throbbing under my armpits and groin what could be causing this ? Also because of itchy hands and feet is this lymphoma ? Would lymphoma show changes on CBC? Could you describe to me why not with these symptoms and what else could be causing this . Yeah i know what you mean i could maybe repeat test im just worried incase somethjngs seriously wrong with me .. Could i rule out lymphoma for cause of my symptoms yes i have read about fibromyalgia . So whats cause aching under arms and groin ? Another doctor mentioned espon barr virus ? Would low hemoglibon show on my blood tests ? What do you think i should do from here ? Im really upset as all my symptoms keep getting put to anxiety when i know this isnt the case .

Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,

If a person suffers from lymphoma there are many other symptoms that are found and yes CBC wont be normal . When all your tests at present are normal , your fear is irrational . Itchiness can be because of multiple reasons , we cannot pinpoint one . Yes , low hemoglobin would show on blood reports .

I will advise you not to worry and relax , the doctors you are seeing also have a responsibility when they say you dont suffer from any nasty condition , even if they had little suspicion they wouldnt had ignored it . Also you can keep yourself in regular check up and repeat your tests , if you still have doubts . But at present I dont see any reason to be worried about .
