Supraclavicular Node?

Hi guys,

 

I've got a quick question. Has anyone ever experienced an enlarged supraclavicular lymph node? I developed a cold about two weeks ago and noticed an enlarged submandibular node. I'm mostly recovered, but still having a bit of snot and phlegm, especially in the morning. I assume the submandibular node is related, but a few days ago, while looking it up, I noticed the real worrisome lymph nodes are in the supraclavicular area.

 

So, of course, I started feeling around. And I found one. It above my left clavicle, waaaay over towards my shoulder, nearly under some muscle tissue where I wouldn't be able to feel it. It's pretty prominently sticking out, but its not very large. Maybe it's a half centimeter at most in diameter? I've read this node is associated with the thorax and abdomen and was wondering if it can be associated with celiac disease? Little worried, as this node is referred to as the "devil's seat" given its association with metastasized cancers.

 

Just wondering if anyone has ever noticed anything similar.

Hi there

Just wondered if you found anything out about that lymph node... Is it still there? I have one too... I'd love to know what happened to yours and what docs said if you went??

All the best

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.
