Lymph Nodes

I have a question to anyone out there. Has anyone had problems with Lymph Nodes swelling up because of the Lyme Disease? I just got my CT results from over a week ago now and what is going on in my leg is not a blood clot, but a Lymph Node sticking way out and it is very painful. In 2002, while I was running a golf tournament, I had to go to the ER because I had one sticking out of my neck about an inch to two inches out. Now it is happening in my leg. I have had pain under my arm pit with another lymph node. It gets painful here also sometimes. Is this something I need to be concerned about? What did any of you if you have had this happen do? I searched on the internet and a guy had this happen and did the biopsy of it and they never found anything wrong any way. My Dr. suggested that I get it biopsied. What do you guys think? If it is Lyme, will anything show on the biopsy any way? Any comments on this would be very helpful. Thanks so much, Dawn.

Do you already drink plenty of purified water? Personally, I like to avoid ordinary tap water...no chlorine for me. That's just me.

What are you doing to support detox? Maybe a little more info about what you're doing for detox will help us help you

Do you have access to a FIR sauna?(if that's something you're able to do , only you can decide that) That REAlly helps me.

Of course, as you probably already know, I am on alternative treatment to get better. So my medicine is herbals, homeopathics and nutritional sups. I take a product that has a mixture of milk thistle seed,Heart's tongue, blue vervain, white nettle flower, and oak fern. Sounds crazy if you're not used to seeing these kind of 'ingredients.' However, it helps to support the liver, kidney and spleen...our detox organs.

Keep us posted.

Peace,

Connie

I found out during my treatment that I have Epstein Barr - many of us do. My lymph nodes have been swollen most of my life and I've never had a doctor test me for mono until recently. Doesn't make sense does it? Crazy doctors...

Try detoxing and see if you can tell a difference.

You could also find a LICENCED massage therapist who is good at lymph drainage, a VERY light massage that gets the toxins moving (I am a LMT, not practicing of course, too sick), but after EVERY massage you should drink plenty of water to help flush toxins out of your body.

(we all know that drill). It took over 4 years before being clinically. diagnosed. After treatment they went down, but i know when they swell up again it is lyme.

Lyme drainage sounds like a great idea!!!!

Here's a list of what I am on (I just started some of these a few days ago). I'll report back after a few weeks to let you know how I feel...

Lymph Terrain and Liver Terrain by TerrainMax, Metatox, Immu-Boost, Lyme Disease Homeopathic Remedy, and Echinacea Complex all by Standard Enzyme Company of N.America. I'm also on a few tinctures to help with my Spleen and who knows what else. But, my body is functioning better than it has been in years. And, my lymph glands aren't the size of golf balls anymore.

A month ago, I tried 'oil-pulling' and i think it brought some bad stuff to the surface. Oil Pulling is where you swish cold pressed sesame oil around in your mouth for 20 minutes and it pulls out any toxins, bacteria, parasites, etc. I felt terrible that whole week - had a bloody nose and an ear ache. I'm not doing that again! You can read about oil pulling on that EarthClinic.com. It seems to have some great benefits for a lot of people. (Including teeth whitening and healing gums).
