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.

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? LOL LOL

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!

Yes that makes sense to me. I do have allergies, sinus problems.

When I had graves seems like that is when it all started.

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.

Ditto on the antibodies AND gum irritation, for me.

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.

I'm a little dense excuse me. Do you mean that when you were on

Synthroid, you had swollen lympe nodes. When you switched to Armour

the swelling went away?

I probably still have graves antibodies even though am hypo now.

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.

" Normal " ranges are made like this : The lab takes the results of all

the ( SICK ! ) people who come to get tested . Then they cut off the

2,5 % at the extrem high and the 2,5% extrem low . The rest is

called " normal " . So 95% off all people are " normal " ....

Source : Dr. Hertoghe's book .

He also says that age specific normal ranges are absolut bullsh.. !!

They take let's say all 70 - 80 year old women and mesure their non-

existant hormones . Then the normal range is that at that age it

is " normal " to have no hormones any more ! So if you are very sick

because of a lack of hormones , you will allways be told that you

are " normal " as it is " normal " at that age to be very sick and have

no hormones any more .

That's how it works !!!!!!!!

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.... ((smiles))
