Does any one else suffer from bouts of swollen glands?

i have seen an ENT specialist who found no real problems. my GP has said she thinks it is down to the stress my body is under because of all my illnessess. so basically it was ' put up with it' ...feel as if i am going round in circles sometimes...

yes and exactly the same as you so painful though xxx

Yes I get that too - its a real warning sign with me to slow down. It particularly affects my neck. The body being under stress explanation sounds about right.

Hi I hope you feel better soon, I had swollen glands for ages, and took some measures to help, keep your neck warm, suck losenges, warm drinks not cold, relax and meditate with soft music....anything to help you relax, watching funny films...soft hugs xx...

Hi Loopladye - yes I have had this for years. I feel I have a constantly sore throat and the back of my soft pallette. Also swollen glands in neck and under arms. Sucks, but appears there is nothing else going on so I've had to put up with it. Heat pads seem to help me.

Hope you manage to find a little relief from it.

I do, as ArtyRosie said, it's a real warning to me to slow down.

I take a tsp of manuka honey each day, it was suggested to me when I was diagnosed with my little c, to help rebuild my immune system after my treatment.

I've stuck with it, (pardon the pun), because I adore honey and I figure I need all the help I can get.

It certainly isn't going to hurt me.
