enlarged lymph nodes
synopsis: nov. 2007 sore throat low grade fever for 3 days. already experiencing random variety joint pain. ( chronic) butterfly type rash on face, some night sweats and itching. Sent to Rhematologist r/o lupus or other RA type infection. aches and pains recurrent fever continues. Jan. 08 sent to infectious disease MD r/o toxoplasmosis, lymphoma or chronic fatigue. Feeling better but weight loss continues with itchiness, hair loss (very moderate), night sweats, some joint pain, lymph nodes remain enlarged in left axillary and left groin. Blood pressure high. I am a 5'5 104 lbs female who exercises daily with 3 days a week boot camp trainer. In Oct. 07 I was 124 lbs. I have backed off some exercise due to fatigue and burning too many calories. Just had axillary lymphnode biopsy. (no results yet) Had nelarged lymph node in right clavicle. Any ideas? Please help!
my lymph nodes have been swollen since March, after having a tooth extracted. ( Submandibular / level 2 ), I have had a biopsy , negative , blood test galore , and not 1 doctor can tell me what the deal is ..? It hurts like hell, and my throat bothers me a lot most times . I feel fatigued a lot too from it .
lymph node biopsy came back as "reactive" no CA cells evident, according to surgeon's staff. I will see the oncologist on tues 9/30. Now what? I don't know what questions or test I should inquire about. I am so tired of going to this dr. and that one to spend $$$ and turn up nothing. I fell like a hypochondriac. I am going to tag myself the incredible shrinking woman. Any ideas?

Hello,
Lymph nodes are small (1-2cm) and bean-shaped nodes. they are very important to your body keeping you healthy. Lymphadenopathy (swollen lymph nodes) is usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection. Other causes include allergic reactions, arthritis, cancer, metabolic diseases, and an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism).
Your symptoms unfortunately are suggestive of some sort of malignancy.Clear cut diagnosis can be made after receiving biopsy reports.You may also need other tests like tumor markers in body if malignancy is suspected.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.
