I am not sure where to begin. I have swollen glands in my THROAT on and off. Sometimes it is on the right or sometimes it is on the left or sometimes it is both sides. Years ago I would go in to the doctors because I would get white puss balls on my tonsills and they would do a throat culture. The culture would come back negative for strep. Doctor would tell me it was a viral infection. My swollen glands in my neck seem to go in sperts. When I have them they stay 1-2 days and go away for only 1-2 days and are back. This will go on for about a month and then it will go away for a month or two and the same routine is back. I have hade swollen glands under my arm and my doctor said it was probably due to the ear/sinus infection/problem I was just getting over at the time. I have had problems with my teeth, sinuses, ears hurt as if I had swimmers ear, shooting pains up my neck and in my head,chronic daily headaches...all with NO RELIEF FROM DOCTORS and I have been to many I have problems with my neck due to an injury 8 years ago, so I am not sure what to contribute to that or my FMS/CFIDS. My doctors contribute all to the illness. Actually my doctors contribute all to FMS for the last 8 years. It took me to go out of state to the FFC center for help to get diagnosed with CFS. This is frustrating for me.I look back now and I know I have been deficient since I was young. I see my primary care doctor tomorrow the 19th. I pray for the strength to know the right questions to ask. CSF is hard to diagnose just like FMS. The Center for Disease Control lauched a campane in 2006 for awareness. On this site I found where doctors can obtain college credits for learning about CFS and others is informational http://www.cdc.gov/cfs/ I want to share this with people because everyone needs to know. FMS/CFS are Autimmune diseases. I was on Caremark website which is my mail order pharmacy reading/learning and found a website American Autoimmune http://aarda.org and took the survey. I found thet I also have Reynauds and Allegis Rhinitis that are autimmune diseases. There is something else called autoimmune inner ear disease I would like to know more about. My point or incouragement of hope here is knowledge is power. This is how I feel right now. My doctors have not been very helpful to me and my primary care will tell you the same thing. He thought it was a good idea I went to the FFC Center. Somewhere that specializes in FMS/CFS, like a cancer center specializes in cancer. I am new to the sart of it but I was really downhill with everything and I can say I an feeling better. I am grateful to this site and learn lots from the post I read, thanks |
