Swollen lymph nodes, swollen hands, dizziness, and floaters. Oh my!

[Johlee]

I have been wrestling with these symptoms for a few months. I have two swollen nodes. I'm dizzy and I see floaters every time I drive . My allergist seems to think I'm suffering from migraines. I've been referred to too many doctors. I have had CT scan, ultrasounds on all of my organs, thyroid, rheumatoid and lupus test. They all have come back normal. I want to feel normal again. I am schedule to have a biopsy of one of my lymph nodes. The other decided not to show itself for the surgeon. I don't have night sweats. Does anyone have any advice?

Hi,

I've recently been feeling discomfort around the right side of my head, underneath the jaw, and right by my ear. I believe i have swollen lymph nodes.. it's abit painful sometimes when i chew, i've had these symptoms for about 2 days now. They keep getting larger it seems. Has anyone here ever experienced swollen lymph nodes before? If so how long did they last? I'm going to the doctor tomorrow. Hopefully i'll get some kind of medication for it..

How big are you swollen nodes and where are they located? I too have a swollen node.

Thanks,

Debbie

Thank you for all your comments. The biopsy will be next Monday. I felt awful at church and had to go home. I just want to feel like myself again.

Hi,

Your problem with floaters is a very common one..I don't think that I would be too worried about them unless they really start and bother your vision. Your migraine headaches might play a part here too.

Your swollen lymph nodes are another matter..I would be very concerned about them. It involves your immune system...I don't want to scare you...but...It can be a sign of cancer. It is good to hear that you are having a biopsy...do it soon! Keep pushing your doctors for answers about this! Time is important!

TAKE CARE...GOOD LUCK...KEMOSABI.

Do you have copies of your lab results? Some doctors interpretation of normal might be higher than what your body can adjust to. It's important to see the results yourself.
