Isn't swollen glands a symptom of chronic fatigue or fibromylasia? I know it's one of the two - search for a list of symptoms on the web.

Enlarged Thyroid/Swollen Glands?

Hi Everyone,I went to see my endocrinologist and she felt a "lump" on the right side of my thryoid. I'm going to get an ultrasound done on Friday.I'm wondering if this lump in my thyroid or hashimoto's in general has anything to do with swollen glands. I constantly have swollen glands - especially under my neck. Does anyone else get this a lot?Hope you're all doing well.Thanks,Audrey

My thyroid is always swollen but the endo said it wasn't anything to

worry about as it wasn't " that big yet. " As for it being a symptom of

fibromyalgia, I don't remember ever reading anything about swollen

glands being used as a diagnosis for FMS...maybe it's the chronic

fatigue syndrom. Have had FM for most of my life and believe me, I'd

rather all of this be due to the thyroid as there's still no cure, or

even a test to confirm a diagnosis of FM yet but they're finally

working on it and a new med to treat FM.

A short update on me after taking the synthroid for two weeks I'm

getting to the point where because I'm not feeling any different, I'm

forgetting to take them in the mornings. Ya know maybe it's just me

but I swear I could tell a big difference when I was switched from

synthroid to levoxyl with the old endo. I've missed taking them for

the last two days but like I said, I haven't started feeling any

different or noticed any of my symptoms decreasing. I'm about ready

to give up on it all again like I did about 20 years ago when I was

taking synthroid, never felt any different so I just stopped taking

them and my doctor never questioned me about them so I didn't mention

it anymore. I've kinda decided that if after the first round of this

synthroid and my TSH hasn't changed after I get my first blood draw

thru the new endo, and if he doesn't up the dosage of this synthroid

or put me on a different one, I'll probably just give up on it all for

awhile because this guy is supposed to be the best in the area and if

I can't get him to try me on one of the other meds like Armour or

Cytomel, I probably don't have a snowball's chance in you know where

to get any results around here.

Right now I've been concentrating and working really hard at just

staying well because I've booked a flight out to AZ to see my nieces

and god son the end of the month and I only have enough personal time

off to use for this month to take my flight. If I get sick or have a

fibro flare, I'd be screwed because they make us use any personal time

off if you call in sick. I told my supervisor that there'd be only

one reason why I wouldn't be there between now and my vacation, and

that's if I'm dead LOL. Speaking of work, I'm fighting a battle with

them over my FMLA rights. I was doing some more reading on it and I

was really screwed bad when I came back from FMLA last October and

they put me in a different position and took away my hours of working

from 7-4 and put me back to 8-5. So I took the proper channel and

asked my super first who then took it to the manager and I was told my

request to go back to 7-4 was denied so I went over their heads and

took it to human resources. I told her all I want is my 7-4 hours

back and I will file a complaint with the DOL if they try and deny

this to me again. I was so mad when I read the FMLA law which states

an employee must be given a " virtually identical " position upon return

to work including benefits, perquisites, etc...... and they sure

didn't do that for me and I'm making somebody be held accountable for

their actions on this which will end up being my dept. manager.

Anyways, I've rambled on enough and need to finish getting ready for

work. Y'all take care.

Debbie

Debbie-

Hang in there. My endo didn't even add the Cytomel until 8 weeks of 75mcg Levoxyl. What is your current dosage? If it's low, it may even need to be upped a bit before adding the Cytomel. Good luck, I hope you feel better soon.

Sending good vibes for a healthy vacation,

Thanks Miaja...right now I'm only taking .5 mcgs of synthroid and it's

not helping so that's why I get so depressed over all of this. Like

I've said before...just give me a pill and let me be over it all so I

don't have to think about it anymore!

Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances.

Debbie it doesn't work that way, practically for nothing in life.

Everything, as long as your living, is on-going in way or another.

The key is not letting it run your life but running your life and acknowledging

it.

Debbie-

I hope you're joking because you sound REALLY depressed. Talk to your doctor about your depression and about getting a higher dosage. .5mcgs seems like a VERY TINY amount. My dr started me on 50mcg, but of course it may be different because it's a different med. Mine is Levoxyl, so I'm not familiar with Synthroid.

Don't worry, you WILL feel better soon.

Take care,
