Hi [@SMH1312]‍ 

When I can't share any experiences with you I just posted to wish you luck with your upcoming hospital appointments. I understand your anxiety, maybe you could post on ask the nurses forum, or phone htem, they cant give you a diagnosis but they can listen to your worries.

I am sory you are feeling so anxious and hope that all works out well and that you can come and let us know how it goes.

I really appreciate your message. Thank you so so much. 

It's such a worrying time and the more I think about it the worse I feel and think it's not likely to be good news.

I shall maybe see about posting elsewhere as well. 

I will let you know how I get on, thanks again x

Hi [@SMH1312]‍ 

I'm sorry I couldn't say more to help.

Could you look online for anxiety reducing techniques.

Maybe post on ask the nurses forum, htey cant diagnose but they are experienced nurses and are bettter at communicating than me.

Hi Sophie,sorry to hear about how your feeling but don't worry your not alone. 
lymph nodes usually do swell up when our body is working hard to fight off something. Like a infection or virus however,it can also be due to hormones imbalance. It's good you went to see ENT they will  be able reassure you if it's thyroid/ hormone related. I have most of the symptoms you have mention when I skip my thyroid meds for Afew days so it's worth getting it checked by ENT. Sometimes our bodies don't make the amount of thyroid hormone we need which cause these symptoms. In my case stress also makes my lymph nodes swell. So I can imagine during the lockdown everyone stress levels are high. Just try to keep hydrated and lots of fresh Fruit/veg to boost your immunity. All the very best I hope it's nothing serious and you feel better soon.

update on the situation please?

This is me the swollen lymph nodes & pain in arms, legs & back since March I've only had phone appointments with GP, referred to MSK at the hospital, blood tests this Wednesday, I just don't want to know what it is, I'm 49 I thought it was hormones but some days I can't walk or lift my arms the pain is so bad, I feel like a old lady I had an active job in a nursing home, not been in work since end of June I just want answers too I understand where your coming from, GP wants to see me face to face now at last all I want is an MRI to see what's going on with my body x
