multipul health issues may be related? swollen lymph, trouble using bathroom and diaphram pain swollen discomfort

[amberbaire]

hello, my name is amber, i'm 25 yrs old, and i have for the past several months had re-occuring swollen lymphnodes underneath my arms.. i know that lymph is something that helps your body get rid of toxins, and am not sure what is wrong. i unfortunatly do not have and can't get health insurance... other recent health issues that may or may not be related are that my diaphram area has been hurting and swollen, i had an upset stomach about a week ago and it hurt all along my diaphram area along with tightness and uncomfortable feeling.. for aprox two years now i have also had issues using the bathroom.. sometimes it's up to four days once up to seven before having a bowel movement.. i'm not sure what's causing all these issues, but the lymph nodes are not soft they are hard and hurt, i have one as of the night before last that has been rather large and burns at times along with the pain and irritation.. other than under my arm pits i haven't had problems with swollen lymph, accept once that was on the inner part of my leg almost up to my vagina.. if there is any insite that someone may have it'd be appreciated. i'm begining to worry that something could be wrong with this series of health issues reoccuring. . . the stomach problem hasn't been an issue until this past week and am not sure if it is related or not?? thanks so much!

What do you eat....do you drink pop?  diet drinks?  what are you actually putting in your body?

[amberbaire]

believe i have just replied to you in another one of my forum postings. i posted in different catagories to see if anyone had other imput. but yea i have a pretty good diet. try to stay away from soda, but yea i do drink it here n there. more juices and try to get plenty of water.

The government give WIC out to poor and the only juices they let them drink (no juicy-juice) but only 100% (Welches).  Do you read all the labels of the food you put in your mouth?..  Do you microwave your food?....

Grains have mycotoxins in them....you have to microscope every detail of your diet!!!!  Let me know if you have any other questions.

Grapes are wonderful for you....my mom had 4th stage cancer at 80 years old and ate tons of grapes and she went into remission!...of course their are other natural supplements she took. Grapes are great antioxidants!

thanks, i mean I'm in no way sure its cancer but lately I've begun to wonder.. i typed in the search engine about swollen lymph nodes and different things about lymphomic cancer popped up.. i can't get WIC due to the fact that I'm not pregnant.. or a new mother. i believe that is simply for new mothers.. i do love grapes! i do microwave my food, also have had questions/concerns about doing so.. always wondered if it puts something radioactive into my body.. idk, but thanks a bunch.. sure i need to really seek out a Dr. to have some tests run, though I've never had re occuring issues with swollen lymph.. ?

From what I understand...lymph nodes involve auto-immune....any disease, cancer, mental, etc...all boils down to what they put in our food....POISON!  look up the 13 names of MSG, dangers of microwaves, dangers of any ingredient you are unsure of.  Then start working on your mind to heal your body...it doesn't matter what disease you have.    Detox, alkalize (look up alkalizing food), probiotics is a start...then start relaxation techniques to start the healing process.  Right now your probably stressed...(not good for your body) so start from scratch.  Everytime you think of your symptoms, start recognizing these are just thoughts.  You don't have to follow them.  The more you tell yourself you are sick...guess what?????  So start thinking HEALING.  When you are in a relaxed state start to put VISUALIZING thoughts into your sub-conscious on healing whatever your symptoms may be.  For example, if you have ulcers, see your body closing those ulcers...I think you are on the right path and I have faith that you are going to overcome all of your health issues!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im an RN with a similar but more sever an longstanding problem-i posted it in multiple catergories as well... i know mine is not from diet/etc as it has stcuk over years and years. It was just eerie for me to hear that my friend, my friend with 3 children died 9 months after being released from eating disorder treatment from lymphoma. But I have other symtpoms, night sweats, vision issues, n/v, chronic bowel obstructions now diarhhea, numbness/tingling in hand and feet, severe joint and neck/low back pain, severe periorbital/migraine type haedaches, and am positive for an autoimmune disease. So medically speaking, I would not pass this off immediately as just diet and toxins, I would see your doctor to have blood work, a physical, and tell her your concerns. But that's my RN voice :) Oh, and smart girl to look up lymphoma on the internet, your aware of your body and your health, and balance between awareness and obsession is a good place to be,.

Thanks so much!

thanks so much.. i also have the same issues with tingling that goes down my forearm into my hand.. mostly the left, though occasionally the right.. thought it could be nerve damage from the accident though.. idk.. also have a herniated disk in my lower back and figured that's what's caused the numbness in my legs and feet. i have no health insurance so it doesn't do me much to see a dr. can't afford it at the moment. . . hmm.. thanks though!
