I got my mri results today and all my lymphnodes are very enlarged...

[Guest guest]

The dr.said that if I were a regular person,meaning one without the

enlarged liver & spleen,other autoimmune diseases,heart racing,and

such,he would take out a lymphnode and biopsie it but he doesnt

think its a good idea for me to do something that invasive with my

allergies. All my lymphnodes are enlarged and I need to go back to

the oncologist for a PET scan to see if its lymphoma or not. Here's

what the Impression part of the results say: " Multiple enlarged

lymphnodes in neck,primarily involving the cartoid

spaces & submandibular spaces with other lymphnodes being normal in

size throughout the neck. The differential diagnosis is broad,and

includes reactive inflammatory,infectious,granulomatous or

neoplastic process. Please clinically correlat. Mild chronic left

maxillary sinus disease.

There are enlarged lymphnodes in bilateral cartoid spaces,which are

elongated in shape measuring 2.5 cm on the right & 2.2 cm on the

left. There are also bilateral partoid space lymphnodes,the largest

measuring l.4 cm on the right. There are submandibular space

lymphnodes,the largest measuring l.3 cm on the right,subcentimeter

posteriour cervical chain lymphnodes are shown & theres a right

supraclavicular lymphnode measuring up to l cm.

If anyone can decipher this for me,please do so. He did say it could

be that my immune system is not working properly and thats why all

the l.n.are enlarged,but theres also a chance it could be lymphoma

since my spleen/liver are involved & been enlarged for 3 years.

He also said to find an endocrinologist to treat the Hashimotos.

That and the magnesium deficiency are causing my heart to work

harder. And I should be able to get a bone density scan,I shrunk an

inch last year,Im 39. For those of you who dont know,I have Celiac

and after going gluten free developed Leaky gut and worsening

allergies and other autoimmune diseases like RA,sjogrens,restless

leg syndrome,hashimotos,dh(skin sores of celiac)

pancreatitis,osteoarthritis,fibromyalgia,asthma,respiratory

allergies,latex allergy,multiple chemical sensitivities,I think

thats it. Our 6 kids also have celiac and various food allergies and

medical issues as well. I have been passed from dr.to dr.shands to

the mayo clinic and drs say its not going to get better,but we can

treat some symptoms. Im not on any meds at all.

My fingers are really getting sore,so Im going to end this. Im

sorry for writing so much! Thank you to those who read til now

though. Thank you for those who believe in prayer and will consider

adding our family to your list. Right now we dont have a

vehicle,food stamps ended 2 months ago and we got $300 for 8 of us a

month while our income is less than our rent and utilities. We are

trying to get them back since we really do need them. My husband is

a handyman,working inbetween drs appts.Our littlest gets disability

for cerebal palsy caused by my celiac,its a malabsorption disease

and she suffered neurologically because of it. I thank you for your

time and prayers and any advice or suggestions you may have for me.

Its starting to get a bit overwhelming now I must say. Thank you

again for being there and listening. Lynne
