I'm not sure if this answers your question, but according to  diagnosing criteria published by medical sources, including the Centers for Disease Control, "swollen lymph nodes" are also a major symptom of CFS. These are commonly located in the neck, just under the tonsil area on both sides, with swelling being detectable to the touch. Lymph nodes under the armpits are also commonly found to be swollen, also detectable by touch.

I'm not sure about the groin area. Can you list all of your symptoms and the tests you've had ?

I agree with the previous post, if you could share more information that may help. I also have swollen glands most of the time which I relate to my Fibromyalgia. Sometimes my armpits get very sore and I'll notice the glands are swollen.

I can relate to everything you explained and have experienced all of these things. Having the sensations in my face made me think I was going to have a stroke. I'm about to leave for vacation so i will be offlline until next week. I'll be happy to talk with you more

All I can suggest if that ask if your Rhumy handles a lot of fibro patients. If he does then stick with him and it may take him some time to make a diagnosis. I don't think he would want to tell you too early that it is Fibro b/c I'm sure he hopes that it will go away. If the problems continue just keep a log and inform your doctor.

I hope you feel some relief knowing that you're not alone
