I came down with an illness 5 days ago - sinus congestion, sore throat and mild coughing. Started getting lower left rib pain with coughing and movement - went to the doctor for Xrays and the doctor thinks its Pleurisy, but still waiting for the radiological report. Saw my family doctor yesterday and she could hear breathing noises. She said I could still get the Pneumonia vaccine and I did. The pain from this is magnified compared to a flu shot. I noticed last night in bed, I have tender lymph nodes about my collar bone.

After searching for info on this - its scared me because this can be serious - lymphoma. Now my anxiety is high and I feel scared I'm getting seriously ill. My question is - has anyone had painful lymph nodes in the collar bone. Wondering if this could be a symptom of the flu vaccine? I also have no energy and can't imagine living life like this - it reminds me to be grateful for good health. I hope I'm not right is thinking all this marriage stress will kill me.
