Painless lumps in the neck and fatigue?

I've had these two lumps on my neck for two and a half years now. I went to the doctor in late '07, he said they were just cysts and that they would just go away on their own after awhile. I'd pretty much forgotten about them then, but recently I checked to see if they were still there and I've noticed that they've grown a little bit. Not much at all, just a very little. They are both under the skin and very firm, and not painful. One is located on my left side, about two inches from where my neck and shoulder meet. The other one, slightly larger, is located on the right side of my neck, maybe three inches under my ear. Other than that, my only other symptoms are nearly constant fatigue and on occasion, sudden headaches. But, that's it. I'm making another appointment to the doctors this week, and I'd just like to know if I'm stressing out for no reason.

If this helps at all, I'm only 16

wow, i have one on my right side of my neck about 3 inches below my ear- or an inch or so above my collar bone, also. Mines under my skin and its firm too. What were the results of your checkup if you dont mind me asking? It sounds like we have the same issue. im 20, female, non smoker or drinker and have noticed this on and off occasion for a few years now.
