my lymph nodes in my neck - both behind my ear and under my chin and also above my collarbone and under my armit - are all hurting pretty bad.

my whole neck feels puffy.

should i worry about this?
i'm very uncomfortable.

i tried Alleve and Advil and nothing helps :-((

i'm not on new meds or anything.... so i don't think it's a herx?

It could be your system starting to clear out the toxins. They may be accumulating in your lymph nodes. Have you ever heard of lymphatic massage? You may want to try one. You can also do one on yourself daily with pure sesame oil (heated to warm) and massage from your head to your toes and then take a nice warm shower. Be sure to drink plenty of water to flush the system.

I am not a doctor, just someone with lyme who has done a whole lot of research.

When I was in the thick of it; which it seems like you are judging by how long you've been a member here- my glands were huge painful, and would cause pain to move down or up from where ever the gland was.

Like in the armpit- pain would just go straight down the inside of my arm.

Hang in there.

I get painful nodes under my armpits from time to time they are not swollen though. I am not sure if it has to do with toxins because I got the pain when I was off abx for 6 months as well.

Hi guys.
Thanks for the input. I think I may look into lymphatic massage. It's worth a shot.
I'm sure it won't be a fun session (ouchie)
but maybe it will help.

This seems to have happened since my LLMD doubled my dose of Cefzil - my white blood count also went way down. Weird stuff.
