vividcyclist14, thanks for the help. My spleen isn't enlarged, but I haven't had an ultrasound yet. I did get a gastroscopy, though, and honestly, I think I need to go back because this pain is just unbearable. I’m throwing up every single day regardless of what I eat. I can't even sit down—sitting makes the pain flare up even worse, and it’s just awful. I really don't get what's going on here. Nobody even suggested a lymph node biopsy; instead, they’re just like, "Let's wait three
months without any medication and see if it clears up on its own." Meanwhile, I feel worse every single day. I'm just exhausted... it's terrible.

God, I’ve got enlarged lymph nodes in my mesentery—basically my abdomen. The doctors told me I just need to redo a CT scan in three months. They didn't even bother prescribing anything. But here's the deal: I'm dealing with stomach pain, vomiting blood, nausea, bloating right after I eat, and this crushing, nonstop exhaustion that's been dragging me down for a year. My iron levels are also low, which is weird because I've never dealt with anemia before. Lately, I've also been feeling this intense pain near my spleen... it hits after walking for five minutes, and it's even worse when I'm sitting down. I went through the whole ringer with tests and a gastroscopy, but my doctor is insisting it’s just standard gastritis. I can barely function at this point, so honestly, who’s the crazy one here? Help.

My doctor’s only "brilliant" conclusion was that I need surgery because he’s basically admitted he has no clue what’s actually going on with me. He didn't even suggest a biopsy for the lymph nodes; instead, he wants to play the waiting game for three months just to see if they shrink or grow. It feels like we're just praying for a miracle here since they haven't even prescribed any medication yet. Tomorrow, I’m heading in for an imaging procedure to check for any obstructions in my intestines. Honestly, my bowel movements have been totally fine and never a real issue. The main thing is the blood in my vomit, along with this horrific fatigue and spleen pain that hits me alongside the stomach aches, no matter how much I rest. Does anyone know if there are other blood tests I should be asking for to figure this out? I've already had my liver enzymes checked.

I need some help here. I’ve been dealing with stomach pain for a year now—constant nausea, weakness, and sometimes vomiting blood. I had H. pylori a long time ago, but that's gone. Now it's just this sharp, stabbing pain in my abdomen. A CT scan showed enlarged lymph nodes, but the doctors didn't even give me a straight answer. They basically said they’re just going to wait and see what happens, no meds or anything. Now I have to go in for a bowel prep/procedure. The pain is getting worse; if I walk slowly for even five minutes, my spleen starts aching and I feel like throwing up. My bloodwork looks fine, except my iron is bottoming out at 6. I don't know what to think anymore. Every time I bring this up, the doctors just wave me off, saying it's just gastritis or some random virus. But does a "virus" really last an entire year without stopping? I even had my tumor markers checked and everything came back clear. The report also mentions some high-density fatty tissue near where the lymph nodes are, but honestly, I have no clue what that means.
