I have horrendous fatigue and I have read that enlarged lymph nodes can be symptom of that,, the ones in my neck are often enlarged and sore. Go see your consultant or GP and ask. Good luck.:)

I get enlarged lymph nodes in my neck and thigh. Had tests etc re worries of cancer - all clear. I just put it down to PBC as there was no other explanation.
