Hello everyone I've woken up this morning with two lumps on my neck which I think are swollen lymph nodes. One on either side of my neck just below my jawline.
Could this be related to my thyroid and Hashimoto's?
I've booked a doctors appointment but the earliest I could get is this Monday.
Wondered if anyone else has had a similar experience?
Thanks 😁
As you have Hashimoto’s, yes pretty likely the cause

Thank you.Yes i take Lanzoprazole daily to protect my stomach from clopidogrel so my doctor tells me. I will definitley look into this. Thank you so much for all the helpful information again.
If they are lymph nodes just in front and down a bit from your ears, they catch infections. It could well be your Hashis, but it could also be an infection somewhere. Any sore teeth or earache?
Other than that, SlowDragon has brilliant advice as always.
