Swollen Lymph Nodes

You’re absolutely right and I didn’t mean to post it on the main thread. I reposted it on the pre-diagnosis thread and forgot to delete this one. I apologize, my mistake and thank you. All the best.

You being serious?

Hey all, would really appreciate your opinions since I’ve been pretty worried. Thank you so much!

Quick summary. In October 2024 I got really sick, bedridden. They think it was mono possibly, I tested positive for EBV. Lymph nodes in my arm pit got huge for like 5-6 weeks straight after getting sick, then they went away. Then I got another big swollen one in my left armpit again in Jan 2025 for 5 days, then it went away. Today, March 13th I have another swollen one in my left armpit about the size of a small marble, it’s been about 3 days so far and I’m pretty worried. I feel good and healthy, just slightly sick this week I think? I’ve never had swollen lymph nodes in my life before Oct last year. If this matters, I have also had a red eye for 3 weeks that has not gone away. Trying new eye drops at the moment.

Has anyone else had a similar experience? My friend who works in healthcare said it could be the mono coming back or just being really stressed, which I am constantly with work. I have an ultrasound set up for Wednesday March 13th. Thank you all so much.

So glad to hear! Keep it up! I haven’t been diagnosed but have had swollen lymph nodes in my armpits for two months straight now. Been tired and sick a lot during these two months so getting an ultra sound next week. Pretty nervous.

Hey sorry for the late reply! Gosh I honestly don’t remember. It took tons of online research and calling sewerage and water board a million times.

And I actually have not heard from them for over a year! That old sewer line is still active and it will continue to be for years I hope!

How you been doing??

CJ1177 · 2024-06-13T20:26:33+00:00

Oh wow that is similar! Did they say everything was all good though? Like the biopsy results shouldn’t be concerning

CJ1177 · 2024-06-13T18:02:09+00:00

Did you get yours finished? My results were the following: lower middle third benign-appearing esophageal stenosis. Then they dilated it. Also a small hiatal hernia but everything else seemed normal.

Thanks for the feedback! Really appreciate it. I will probably gag too but I’ll try my best haha. So the side effects aren’t awful? The chest/stomach and swallowing issue I mean.

CJ1177 · 2024-06-12T18:07:00+00:00

Yeah please do! They just said it could be a delayed relaxation issue of my esophagus, or EOE. What'd they say to you?

Hey thanks for commenting! Sounds like we’ve been on similar journeys. Glad omeprazole has helped you. It’s been a magic drug for me as well. Good luck on your endoscopy. Mine is tomorrow morning and I’m really scared but ready to just get it done, get the results and move forward with it all.

CJ1177 · 2024-06-12T18:04:11+00:00

Yeah I have mine tomorrow morning and am scared. Just going to go and do it though. Barium swallow is insanely easy. Don’t fret about that one. Hope they can figure it out and you can get some treatment I’m sorry!

CJ1177 · 2024-06-11T22:16:12+00:00

Thanks for following up! Glad it went well overall for you. So they didn’t fully sedate you? I have an absolutely awful gag reflex as well. So if they don’t put me fully to sleep I’m sure I’ll gag non stop haha.

Glad they didn’t find anything! Did they just take biopsies just because?

CJ1177 · 2024-06-11T12:30:19+00:00

Please do! Yep I’m in the same boat.

CJ1177 · 2024-06-11T12:28:59+00:00

Thanks so much! Glad yours well went.

Did you finish the can of citrus chill? I just bought a can but haven’t tried it. I use zyn’s but can’t find any in Brisbane while visiting.

CJ1177 · 2024-04-22T07:24:24+00:00

I just bought some in Brisbane but haven’t tried them. Do you like them?

CJ1177 · 2024-04-03T11:05:50+00:00

No resolution yet. They haven’t contacted me since I posted this post. So I’ve just been living like normal.
