Lump above collarbone right side

Hi SweetJane. I can think of a few things, but nothing that would require an ER visit unless the chills and sweats get serious. I'm glad you're seeing your doc soon though cause it sounds abnormal. Keep us posted. Love, Butterflake

I'm so sorry I didn't see this post sooner.  Please call your doctor back.  I don't want to unnecessarily upset you, but I couldn't just ignore your symptoms.  They match the symptoms my doctors were looking for when they suspected I had lymphoma.  Of course I did not, and I pray you don't have it either.  The immovable lymph node "lump," the night sweats, the unexplainable weight loss, the fact that the lump is not painful, etc.  I'm so sorry for causing alarm, but I felt I couldn't just look the other way.  I am not a doctor, just a concerned fellow AI sufferer.

Hey Jane, I was thinking it could be your bones from possible osteoporosis. Between going throw menapause and are you taking steroids or anything that makes your bones brittle. Also have you been tested with a bone scanner to see if your bones are thinning? That is something most lupies - A/I women have done. If not you should probably tell your doctor you want it done. It only takes a few minutes.
Let us know what you do.
hugs
