Swollen Lymph Nodes

Ever since I can remember doctors have told me my lymph nodes in my neck are larger than normal, one seems to be bigger than the other. Could this be from celiacs disease?

I have a swollen one on the left side of my neck - it can be due to autoimmune diseases - things like lupus etc. I'm not sure about celiac -but mine hasn't gone down and I've been gluten-free for almost a year now...

I have them too...in my neck on both sides...have had them checked out dozens of times. My doctor said sometimes once they've enlarged they just never resize properly. However, it's probably related to autoimmune issues.

I was diagnosed with Leukemia (CLL) and Lupus. My GI discovered the Leukemia and my Rheumatologist did a test for Lupus (ANA). I hope that this isn't what's causing you're swollen lymph nodes. Most likely it's just an infection because we all have weakened immune systems. I would go to your PCP if they don't go down. Sending positive, healing energy!

P.S. didn't mean to scare you with the illnesses I have - I'm sure yours is just an infection - just get it checked out.

I have swollen lymph nodes as well its been like that for awhile. no autoimmune diseases for me.

exercise pumps the lymph and exercise makes the stiff neck pain feel better for me.

I keep swollen glands. Definitely see your doctor. They can look at them with CT scan and see if they look suspicious and if so biopsy them. I just had a biospy last month and everything came back ok, no sign of cancer. The doctor said it was caused by CFS/chronic mono. He is going to continue to monitor to make sure nothing else suspicious pops up.

Glad it was just mono (not that that isn't anything). Just glad it's not more serious. I think that we all need to be vigilant when anything lasts for a while.

Sending al healing (((hugs))),

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!

      I checked consumer labs that I'm a member of they independently check products for safely and claims the wolfs was rated great and bobs redmill buckwheat cereal. Ultra low gotten no dangerous levels of arsenic heavy metals, mold, yeast etc. plus they mention to refrigerate. I wonder if the raw buckwheat they rinse bc it's not toasted like kasha. Toasted removes the grassy taste I have to try the one you mentioned. I also bought Qia which is a quinoa mixed got great reviews.
