About six weeks ago I went to the Dr b/c I had felt some lymph nodes in my left armpit. I never noticed them before but I never checked either What prompted me to look was that the left side(armpit area) looked more fatty than the right and I wondered why this never went away after I gave birth, stopped nursing, was exercising etc.
This happened when I was pregnant w DS 4 yrs ago. My gynecologist back then said to come back if it did not go away after the pregnancy. I did not.
So this is what prompted me to check my armpit out. So I don't know if I have had these lymph nodes since then or if I just got them a few months ago. The Dr I saw 6 weeks ago said to keep an eye out to make sure they do not increase in size. She also did a blood test which came back normal. So a few days ago I was feeling around in my neck and noticed more lymph nodes. Went to the Dr today and she confrimed. She said that if they do not go down within 3 weeks that they should do a biopsy. My DS was sick w a bad virus for over a week but I only got a very slight cold-runny nose yesterday and the lymph nodes. I don't ever remember my lymph nodes swelling in the past. I'm really worried. I have also had some TMJ symtoms ( Jaw pain) and extreme sensitivity on one of my back teeth. This is all on the left side which I think is weird. The jaw pain, tooth sensitivity and lymph nodes.
When I went for my cleaning the Dentist said there was nothing superficially wrong w the tooth. I also had xrays about 6 months ago and nothing was wrong. Thr Dr said the lymph nodes could be infected if their is an infection draining from my tooth. So I am going back to the dentist tomorrow to check this out. I exercise and eat very healthfully-do lots of juicing-green drinks,raw foods,superfoods etc. The dr who is also a homeopath gave me some drops last time, European chestnut and Christmas Holly to help drain the lymph nodes. Also Juniper and a lympho ... which I did not get b/c they were on back order. I took the Chestnut and Holly. once and was up until 4 am b/c I could not sleep. So I never gave them a chance and was planning to try them again after I get caught up on my sleep. I have not been sleeping well b/c my DS was sick for a week. I cosleep w him but I'm really not sleeping well anymore. LAst night I read thru all the lymph node threads and got some ideas. I tried doing the castor oil pack last night. Will do it again today. How often should I do it? I'm taking SA . The Dr said that I should try the collodial silver. I've read so many mixed reviews on it.
Any other things that I could try? I have so many things going thru my head I don't know what to do first.
