I'm concerned
For the past two nights, I've noticed sweating at night. Not enough to drench the bed or anything, but enough to cause a slight chill once you return to bed. Damp, but not so bad as to make it difficult to get back to sleep. I think is a bit beyond the bias I was talking about earlier, because I feel I would've noticed this before...To recap, here's a checklist, from most concerning to least:
- Dermographia (i.e., skin writing).
- Itching, all over.
- Night sweating
- Fatigue?
- Mid-Day Temp: 99.3F
Dermographia
Normally, I'd put the itching as #1, but because the dermographia takes the cake for three reasons:- It seems to be getting worse over time.
- I encountered both dermographia and itching prior to my diagnosis, so it's alarming to see encounter both at the same time yet again.
- It's also more prominent as it gets close to the tumor location (hopefully dormant)
I can now draw all over my arms, chest, and neck. It's kind of neat, in a way. As I'm brushing my teeth or something, I can pass the time by drawing designs on my skin.
Alternative Explanations
But now that I think about it, perhaps the dermographia is a good thing! From what I can tell, Dermographia is not a known symptom of Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I'm finding very little correlating the two, so it must be uncommon. So much so, that I'm either I'm a freak of nature (I admit the possibility) or the dermographia is a symptom of something else! If that's the case, then what could be causing the skin writing could also be causing all/most of the other symptoms.So one very real possibility is that I'm simply allergic to something! I'm going to try to change my eating habits a bit and see if that helps. Maybe also switch shampoos/soaps again. Fingers crossed!

Hey Austin. Just a note from a stranger to tell you I'm following your story and hoping with you / for you that the dreaded Hodge never revisits you. My son also is in remission. I know how mentally draining it is to believe it might be coming back. I wish you good results from your scan!
Hi Juthale, thanks so much for dropping a note! I'm glad to know that the words I put forth are being heard -- I didn't know if anyone was reading this thing.
It makes sense. It's like the "boy who cried wolf" post a bit. No one wants to deal with relapse fears until their substantiated by a diagnosis, but I feel that the panic around the "waiting game" is part of the process -- it should be documented like anything else.
I'm glad to hear your son's in remission, and I hope it'll be clear sailing for you and your son from now on.
My name is hoover, my 18 years old daughter, Tricia was diagnosed of herpes 3 years ago. ever since then,we have been going from one hospital to the other. We tried all sorts of pills but all efforts to get rid of the virus was futile. The blisters kept on reappearing after some months. My daughter was making use of Acyclovir tablets 200mg. 2 tablets every 6hours and fusitin cream 15grams. and H5 POT. Permanganate with water to be applied 2x a day but all still show no result. So I was on the internet some months back, to sought for any other means of saving my only child. just then, i came across a comment on dr imoloa herbal treatment and decided to give it a try. i contacted the him and he prepared some herbs and sent it to me together with guidelines on how to use the herbs through DHL courier service. my daughter used it as directed dr imoloa and in less than 14days, my daughter regained her health..
