I also have lupus so when anything crops up I can't afford to ignore it. I didn't know it, but at the time, I was also pregnant. <br /><br />So the doctors weren't quite sure what was going on. Because of the pregnancy, I was so tired I would sleep all day. I spent weeks going to different doctors every day. It's pathetic when your 3-year old daughter gets excited about going to the doctor because it is an actual outing. Anyhow, when it dawned on me that I might be pregnant, and that pregnancy was confirmed with multiple tests and an ultraound, pretty much everything calmed down. Still, it was a bizarre episode. . .Tiffany Wacaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08224661646987749451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30218415.post-87617159969246068552012-05-23T11:58:13.947-07:002012-05-23T11:58:13.947-07:00I've got something like this, but in the oppos...I've got something like this, but in the opposite direction. Whenever I go to the nephrologist feeling good about my progress, I get shot down and find out how badly things have gone down. Now I try to ignore any visits until the week before so I don't psych myself out.<br /><br />Congrats on (just) the swollen gland!Rob Monroehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15213481414668281312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30218415.post-8978372244563047692012-05-22T18:11:18.852-07:002012-05-22T18:11:18.852-07:00I h.a.t.e ticks, too.

I think they are a failed experiment of this mortal realm, if I say so myself. <br /><br />Like Irwardell and many others, I am glad the doc thinks it is just a swollen lymph node.

Nada. I had to choose very carefully what to spend my syllables on before that point. <br /><br />And then it just...went away.<br /><br />For me, it's autoimmune. I'm not saying your sister has lupus too; I'm just saying it's probably no big deal and probably the most benign thing one's immune system could get all het up about.Alison Hydehttp://spindyeknit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30218415.post-46999274047235600252012-05-22T12:56:05.291-07:002012-05-22T12:56:05.291-07:00As an avid anti-hypochondriac you are freaking me ...As an avid anti-hypochondriac you are freaking me out!<br /><br />--JennieHildiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08825826597565796467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30218415.post-71811940998742964892012-05-22T12:25:58.699-07:002012-05-22T12:25:58.699-07:00I have a solution to the tick problem - stay insid...I have a solution to the tick problem - stay inside like me. LOL I know, I know, you have your garden to look after and children that like to play outside, but it really does help keep the ticks off of you if you can avoid going outside. Just a suggestion.<br /><br />I'm glad you don't have lymphoma.<br /><br />Hugs.lrwardellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222529400766617293noreply@blogger.com
