RE: Swollen glands

[Guest guest]

Dear Pat,

I would bet the ranch that you have Sjogrens Syndrome. Swollen painful

glands are a problem for me half of the year. It is from the Sjogrens. The

eyes -

PLEASE get some Theratears or other preservative single application eye drops.

And wear sunglasses all the time outside and stay out of drafts- the wind,

etc... anything that will increase evaporation of the few tears you have in

your eyes!

When my eyes are really in crisis, I use Lacrilube ointment - it is made for

eyes and is a vaseline type consistency, I put it inside the lower lid and

then wear an eye patch over this closed eye for a day.

Then I switch and do the other eye the next day. Of course, I stay home most

days and don't have to drive to work. I hope this helps. I am so worried

about your corneas, I can't wait till you see the opthamologist and get the

Schirmers test.

The rheumatologist can check for Ro and LA antibodies - specific for

Sjogrens, however not everyone has them (I don't).

Good Luck,

Check out this site right away!

I would say the swollen glands are from the Sjorgren's. My mom

has Sjogren's and her glands are swollen also. Sjorgen's affects

your glands from what I understand.

Can anything be done for swollen glands? The local doc isn't

concerned about them but they have been swollen for years. I'm

tired of them being swollen. Is it from the PA or just from the

Sjogren's Syndrome? At one time I thought maybe it was the

drainage from the psoriasis like the clear fluid from a blister

and draining down from the scalp into the neck glands. Boy, am I

really stretching here to give myself an explanation.

Anyone got any ideas?

Pat...I can't say what can be done for swollen glands...but at the same time

the PA struck...lymph glands at the rear of my neck became swollen and are

still so. One has even hardened permanently.

Sorry about your Sjogren's syndrome diagnosis, Annie.

You can take comfort in that fact that we are constantly working to

understand these diseases better and that, in the near future, treatment

options will improve. Even a cure could come.

Sorry to hear about your official diagnosis, but I'm glad you are thinking

positive.

You can only take one day at a time, and most cases are the milder form, so you

just have to deal with things as they come.

Best of luck to you.

Hi everyone,

Thanks to those of you who sent me a reply. I had my appointment

yesterday and have been diagnosed with Sjogrens syndrome. It came as

no surprise really. Besides the fact that one or two of you

mentioned that possibility, all the research I have done so far leads

to that conclusion. So I am at that place all too familiar with

you. I want someone to tell me exactly what to expect and nobody

can. I think we have an inbuilt mechanism that won't stop asking

questions in order to prepare us for what lies ahead, and like a

stuck record it continues to ask even when there are no answers.

However, I have whittled my feelings down to this: I have two

options, one is to assume that my particular course will be the most

difficult with my immune system attacking and destroying all of my

glands, organs, joints, muscles etc and the rest of my life will be

spent in severe pain, OR I can assume that I am going to get a mild

form of this disease and will need to use fake tears and suck lemon

drops. I have so often looked at the worst scenarios in my life and

it has done nothing to prepare me for whatever came - SO - I choose

the most positive approach. Not denial...just high hopes. Thanks to

you all for being there.

I've forgotten where I just recently read someone else who has had that same

experience. So your glands swelled and went down after a short duration on LDN?

May be your body trying to detoxify something bad.

you may need to purchase Heel-Detox Kit. Type Heel-Detox Kit into your search

engine. I took this, my alternative medicine put me on it last year. It

contains a lymph gland detoxifying agent with other detoxifying agents.

[Guest guest]

I have erythema of the vocal cords and arytenoids, inferior turbinate

hypertrophy along with many other problems that my doctor had noted

after examination. There are many symptoms that can affect people

differntly as individuals. You may want to research this more with

your own doctor.

I often have swollen glands when I get sick

[Guest guest]

yes, I had swollen glands. I'd say most of them were at one time or

another. the one under my left arm bothered me the most. something

that hasn't really been talked about but I'd like to hear coments on

is problems with breast swelling, feverish and very sore nipples.

wondering if the men exposed had these symptoms too. this had gotten

better while out of the mold, but my hit last week brought it back

and reminded me just how painful it

was.

Congrat. on the upcoming twins arrival. I believe I have GREAT information and a website for raw pregnancy diet with living proof at this site: The Garden Diet--Jingee can help. She may be able to answer both your concerns you addressed. Jinjee as she has several kids, raw and believe it was 2 raw pregnancies. Shd has had raw pregnancies. Diet name is The Garden Diet. Here's the website: http://www.thegardendiet.com/ She has book on raw pregnancy she went through: http://www.thegardendiet.com/aboutbirth.html Also believe there is an egroup where you can ask questions from her and others like we do here. Daily inspiration but may be part of the egroups above: http://www.thegardendiet.com/inspiration.html Personally I would not be doing the animal products, but then again it's a choice we all have to make at some time. See what others say, research and then further decide your course.

Calliope,

Congratulations on your upcoming twins,

that’s great news. Usually your body does tell you exactly what you need

during pregnancy. It’s important to remember that carrying multiples takes

a whole lot out of a woman’s body. My advice is to do the best you can

nutritionally and try to relax, because you will quickly return to yourself

once you deliver anyway. If you decide to breast-feed, you will still need more

calories and water than you would normally, but the cravings should go away

fairly quickly. I hope this eases your mind a little. Staying as calm and

stress free as possible will help so much. You let us know when you have those little

ones.

*hugs* Janet

Hi Calliope... good to hear from you, sorry it's under illness though.. Can you make yourself some super tonic?? It won't hurt the baby... My DIL took it during both pregs.. Great antibiotic. You can take it every couple hours when you're ill.. Also a raw garlic clove or two will help illness... As for your eating habits, do the best you can.. that is all any of us can do.. For protein, try peas, beans, nuts, eggs. Do a raw egg in a morning smoothie. (Farm fresh egg if you can get them) Another would be Essiac... and also, drink alot of fruit and/or veggie juices. And also don't forget your water to flush out your system.. Suzi PS Where do you live... is there anything we can send you??

So, quick update. I did some hot and cold compresses, and had my

husband do some reflexology work on me when he got home, and that

seemed to get things moving around, kicking up some mucous and such,

and I began to be able to swallowmore easily. I'd also done some raw

garlic during the day. This morning I woke up and the whole underside

of my jaw and everything around the glands is swollen up, though the

lymph nodes are down a bit. I look really bizarre. I think I have the

mumps. I'll definitely be making up a batch of super tonic this

evening. But for now, back to bed. Thank you all for your advice and

support.

Hugs,

Calli

[Guest guest]

Calli, I was wondering about mumps when you said you were swollen...Definitely the super tonic... you can also do a poultice of using mullein and camomile flowers. Apply as warm as possible without inconvenience, cover well and change the application when cool. Repeat until the swelling is relieved. Suzi Calliope <ladyofnomads@...> wrote: So, quick update.

+++Hi there. Welcome to our group. What is your name please? Your

glands are swollen because your body is overloaded with toxins. You

should take Dr. Crook's Candida Questionnaire, which is in the

articles emailed to you when you joined, or find it here:
