Swollen lymph glands? | Arthritis Information

Share
 

I had noticed before I was dx that my lymph glands would swell before I would have a flare.  Yesterday my lymph glands were swollen and I was getting paranoid.  Any of you have any experience whether there is a relationship between swollen lymph glands and ra?  2 weeks on mtx and doing good.  My fiance is wonderful and very patient with my unusual lack of energy.  It depresses me a bit

Sorry i don't know anything about lymph glands, not even where to find em!

just thought i'd say hi. 

Lymph glands are in your neck and other places.  They usually swell when you are sick.  I bet it is the ra or the mtx I am taking.  I am feeling so much better today.  How are you this fine day?

Roxy; I met my husband on line too!!

He's certainly the love of my life!!

That is so funny Lovie.  It is a GREAT way to meet people as you get to know them first - email and phone - fall in love with what is inside before all the hormones are triggered and old patterns kick in 

 

 

Im all in for that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

where are the men?!?!?!

Still feling good today.. this is the third day of 2.5 pred.. *fingers crossed!* and its raining!!!!!!

I don't know Rox; most people I tell I found the love of my life on line they think I"m crazy. They'd rather sit home alone night after night than make a new friend that way.

For me I was divorced and most of my friends were either old friends of my ex-husband and I or co-workers. I'm not much on getting picked up in bars....so I tried it. Met several really nice men; but only one I couldn't get enough of.

I'd definately recommend it to anyone. It's like you say; you really get to know a person before you even meet them. It's a great "courtship" type of thing.

Unicorn...we do have a newbie named Paul that seems real friendly here

I love you guys!!

Lovie

My lymph glands are always slightly swollen and tender to the touch.  When I have a flare I look like I have looked like I had the mumps!  I think it has to do with inflammation in our bodies tho.
My lymph glands have been swollen ever since I was
diagnosed 3 mths. ago. I am taking prednisone,
mtx and have had my 3rd remicade treatment. And
this may sound strange, but I have had an alomst
constant yeast infection along with feeling like I have
the beginnings of flu.

Anyone else experience this
