TESS - Re: flare help please

[Guest guest]

Tess:

More than a year before being diagnosed with RA, I had noticed my

Lymph nodes were enlarged on my head/neck area. I had MRI's, CAT

scans, biopsies and TONS of bloodwork done....with no real diagnosis.

Prior to the biopsy, my doc thought I had Lymphoma....but thankfully, the

tests came back negative. I was told that there is a connection between

Lymph nodes/tonsils and developing RA. I guess your Lymphatic system

and tonsils are part of your immune system.....and RA, well you know the

connection there.

All I know is that I am in the middle of a terrible flare right now and my

Lymph nodes are HUGE! Lets hope this passes for the both of us.

Still let your doc know what's going on.
