I was wondering if anyone else experiences swollen lymph nodes or the sensation of swelling? Everything I read online seems to link this to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, but I haven’t seen much about it in relation to Fibromyalgia.
I’ve been diagnosed with Fibro for about two years now (through a rheumatologist), though I suspect I’ve had it for much longer. Does Fibro tend to get worse over time? I’ve been feeling really bad the past two weeks—possibly a flare-up? My glands feel swollen, but I can’t actually feel any lumps in my armpits or neck. I’ve also been dealing with a lot of pain lately—my thighs, lower and upper back, hips, behind my knees, ribs, armpits, arms, chest, and upper stomach… it’s a lot! I also have IBS and anxiety. I often feel flushed, but there’s no redness in my face or fever.
Does anyone else experience these kinds of symptoms? I don’t want to keep running to the doctor, but I also don’t want to just brush it off as Fibro every time. Any feedback would be really helpful!
