Just my theory, but you > are definitely not the only one. count me in on this. also had swollen lymph glands all my life. i think your theory is a good one! btw, i recently got a copy of some 1994 thyroid labs...my TSH was 2.2 and my cholesterol was elevated. I don't remember anyone mentioning that high cholesterol back when I was 39. i'm still trying to track down some thyroid labs that I requested when I was 33...if I can figure out where I went to get them..but I remember reading about thyroid problems and thinking " I know I have this " ...and going to get checked...of course it was always NORMAL. I will never ever trust that word again. Cindi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 When you have hypo symptoms(anyone) do your lymp nodes above the thyroid under the chin swell? I noticed that when I was hypo they would swell up. Now that I feel better(not hypo)they are not swollen. Does this make sense?

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 I have had swollen lymph nodes off & on all my life and I think it is when you are having an attack of the thyroid antibodies. Just my theory, but you are definitely not the only one. I also get them when I have a tooth or sinus infection of any kind!

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Makes perfect sense to me Betty, as I suffer from the same problem. First you see it, now you don't. Hello, it's there, poof, it's gone, then comes back, and it includes the lymphs that circle the jaw. Frustrating and scary isn't it? In fact, sometimes it feels like those under the chin and jaw swell so much that it seems almost to cut off the circulation to my head or something. I have Hashimoto's. About swollen lympe nodes? > > > When you have hypo symptoms(anyone) do your lymp nodes above the > thyroid under the chin swell? I noticed that when I was hypo they > would swell up.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Ditto on the antibodies AND gum irritation, for me.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 I was dx'd with hypoT about 6 years ago, on Synthroid until Nov. 1st this year when I started on Armour. Never, ever had swollen glands in the neck or anywhere else. Caroline About swollen lympe nodes? When you have hypo symptoms(anyone) do your lymp nodes above the thyroid under the chin swell?

When you switched to Armour the swelling went away? I probably still have graves antibodies even though am hypo now. > About swollen lympe nodes? > > > > When you have hypo symptoms(anyone) do your lymp nodes above the > thyroid under the chin swell?

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Yeh, ya know my immagination has run wild on that, as in throat cancer and lymphoma and everything else. I figured if it was, though, as much time as has past, I would be dead by now. Re: About swollen lympe nodes? > > I have that very same thing, it must be part of it all.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Thank you for this discussion. Not only does my lymp nodes nearly continuously stay swollen under the chin area... but a lot of time they are swollen all over the body... under the arms, crease of upper thigh- near pelvic, and very much behind the knees. Since starting Armour and getting the fibromyalgia under control... the only lymps I notice swollen are under the chin. I, too, have Hashimoto's. Lymphs purpose is to catch infection... Wonder if that's the body's way of protecting the thyroid from being zapped by the antibodies... or that might be my extreme imagination running....
