Swollen lymph node = undermedicated?

I have very swollen lymph node which went down when I was on enough levo and t3 but now it is back again. I am not yet stable but trying to find my optimal. Anyone who found that their swollen lymph node went down when on optimal dose?

Clara9,

Swollen lymph glands are usually caused by an infection. Have you had a full blood count to rule out infection?

If you are convinced that the glands are swollen because you are undermedicated then you should increase dose.

Yes, I've had a full blood count and all OK.

I'm not totally convinced that's why I'm asking for other people's experience.

Maybe post the results of your blood count tests with ranges for comments.

I don't have knowledge to be able to interpret them. If you don't have a response in the next few hours, I'd re-post onto a fresh post.
