Guest guest Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 --Hi Cammie, thanks for the advice! Amazingly i got into the doctors, fortunate of a cancelled appointment. Im not really sure whether she checked me out thoroughly enough, not that im an expert but i didnt feel like she really examined them. She said that its normal, but im not sure. One has been there for about 5-6 weeks now and the other under my chin has just appeared. I was surfing the web and found some info and diagrams explaining lymph nodes, and it mentioned about lumps in the neck with pics illustrating areas where i have mine. something to do with them being infected, which i feel kinda fits as i have had quite bad colds over the past 6 weeks and its still lingering. I have to have my ears syringed at the beginning of next month so i am going to see how it all clears up, if not i am going to go to a 3rd doctor get another opinion. Its just kinda worrying things being there which in your own mind just doesnt seem natural and the mind certainly wanders and plays evil tricks on you..... trying to think good thoughts, dont down myself with well........you know...which was on a hospital programme the other day which really doesnt help!!!! Luckly i have a hectic few weeks with starting back at uni and all, including a visit to the plactic surgeon im having 6 inches added to my legs, lol.... only joking. so i am going to try and put it to the back of my mind. TRY Try TRY.,... Thanks cammie. I will be sure to keep you posted. Glad that you are ok from the storm!!!! Stay well.
