Hi all,

I put 'swollen' bc I've been to the endocrinologist (Thyroid U/S + labs neg), had a Barium Swallow (neg), ENT scoped (neg) - at my wits end.

This started June end and the sides of my neck feel swollen and swallowing is difficult too-funny they couldn't find anything.. such a mystery!

Any chance this could be related to one of the infections? I was doing Babesia tx at that time and now I'm off everything due to elevated LFT's. Could treating Babesia have brought out something else?

Even has my LLMD stumped!

thanks!

Have you been checked for Sjogren's? It affects the parotid glands.

Doesn't bartonella cause swollen glands too?

I didn't know this was a sx of Sjogren's. I know they tested all kinds of antibodies but not sure if it included Sjogren's. thx for that.

I also wonder Robin, whether it might not be bart related. thanks!

I said that because I figured you had already been checked for bart.
