Guest guest Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Tess: I am in the middle of a bad flare right now myself. For me, my lymph nodes swell up when my RA is bad, and the ones I notice the most are around my ear (in front and above on my scalp). Could this be what you're noticing? I really hope you're on the mend soon. Try and get lots of rest and take care of yourself.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Tess, is there any way you could go in to see your PCP today? Or at least call? I'd talk to your rheumatologist, too. Not an MD I'll tell you where to go!

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Oh Tess, you sound like you are going through a terrible time. Do try to see if you can get ahold of a dr. I get the scalp swelling and pain from the arthritis in my jaw and in my neck. I have found that an ice pack helps a lot but do ask your dr about it. You have been doing so well, I am sorry to hear you are having a tough time right now.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Tess, I seem to have gotten off the track...uae heat use ice what ever makes you feel better, until you see the Dr. You have come so far this year.. you are strong, but we all have our #%*@$#% & blank, blank.. times that we must take care of our selves...maybe you have taken on too much and your body is telling you to slow down some. REST and take care of yourself a couple days.... gentle hugs ..misweez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
