As my daddy would say...

It would "behoove you" to know more about lymph nodes.

Of course he wouldn't say that about lymph nodes per say... but more likely about some rule I was getting ready to break when I was a teenager.

[lol]

Anyhow... Lymph nodes can cause pain and be lumpy and bumpy... especially when herxing and when there is or has been a lot of die off or infection.

At least you can check out the pictures to see where they are located... because I know you won't read all the details.

A holistic doctor I have seen says the body is made up of 80-90% lymph fluid versus blood.

"because I know you wont read all the details"... LOL too true.

Well my Jugulodiagastric node has felt like a silver dollar for the past few days, making my whole jawline sore.

Very interesting.. thanks! I learn better from pictures anyways!

Thank you, Tincup, for the links.

I have been vainly searching the internet for days trying to figure out which lymph nodes are presently killing me.
