Non Hodkins

[Traveller225]

Hi
My dad died of Non Hodkins 8 years ago, I have always had one lump or another and they have all been ok. about 3 years ago I developed a lump at the back of my neck where the skull joins your spinal cord on the right side, the lump doesn't hurt hense I haven't been to the doctors, but for the last few months I have started having headaches all the time, and sometimes pains down my arms, this week my hair hurts !!! I know strange, but I have also started itching all over, I feel really tired, but that could be due to the fact I am not sleeping very well, I don't know if this is related but I have always been a bit dyslexic but just reciently I am finding that has become a lot worse I having to re type all the time and have to double check what I have written 3 4 times, and I have the memory of a gold fish. I live in Dubai, having moved from Florida 6 months ago although I am british.
I have no medical insurance which is why I haven't gone to doctors.

That's great to hear! Even if it's nothing, better safe than sorry. I'm going to have a health insurance dilemma myself really soon if I don't sign up for grad school classes.....so I'm going to do whatever it takes to hang onto the good insurance I have since I sorely need it right now. Hang in there and I hope you feel better soon.

Hi
Thank you Jules, I spoke with my husband this evening we are sorting health insurance as I know deep down I need to see a doctor.

Get that checked out immediately--I believe that's a lymph node there, but it's never a good sign when they're swelling behind your ear. It's still small, which is promising, but please don't wait on this given your family history. Get healthcare insurance ASAP and keep us posted!

Hi thank you I am going to, I have another lump this morning the size of a pea behind my ear this time.

Please pursue medical care.  I seriously would.
