Swollen Lymphnodes

Many of us experience swollen lymph nodes! They are the "first filter" of the blood, so it makes sense that they get congested during treatments and times of illness.

I do self lymph massages. You can watch this video to help you learn how to do them yourself: /www.youtube.com/watch?v=QA-wi0d7-Ro

I think she says to do each node 50 times or something, which you shouldn't do. It can make them very sore, so I just do it until they are a little sore, but do it several times a day when they are swollen.

Don't forget that you have lymph nodes all through your body, so I would encourage you to take a look at this page for the pictures and you can kind of see where they are located. If you feel a bit of a lump in those areas, it's likely a lymph node that needs a little extra attention. www.nhlcyberfamily.org/nodes.htm

If you find you are continually having these issues, there are some herbs that you can add in to help with this.

Interesting and very insightful videos ( not only lymph nodes massage). thanks for the links BTW...dang she talks more than I do.

Honestly do not do this 50 times!!! I did and I got so sick. It released too many toxins out of the lymph system way to fast.

Please start with a low about of maybe only 10 times and see how you do.

Then go up from there.

And, I now do it all the time and 50 is fine. I find the clavicle one is easy to do at a stop sign. LOL!!

LymeTrez - I had a swollen and sore Clavicle lymph node. I did do the lymph massages and it does help.

Girlie how is that lymph node of yours doing ? Has it gone down ? Supraclavicular lymph nodes are particularly dangerous when they get swollen...

yes, supraclavicular lymph swelling of >1cm x 1cm is almost 90% cases lymphoma, it is a place where they usually do not swell for other reasons. i know because i have a colleague with her husband got diagnosed recently, after a flu his supraclavicular nodes have swollen a lot, and not gone down, he was directly sent to biopsy and ... hodgkin's lymphoma, he has no other symptoms and feeling great. CBC is perfect...

but if u have positive bart.... all these are part of the day i guess... i had swollen nodes even on my stomach and chest... they come and go...

what im saying is we need to pay attention with these nodes, it is a good idea to do ultrasound to some nodes that are larger and are not going away with treatment ... especially in areas such as these.

When you say 90% of the cases is lymphoma - I would bet they're not even considering the people with bart/lyme.

Hey Girlie, watch out...
Bart does not exist, it's some very rare bacteria only homeless and AIDS people suffer from...

I had ongoing, for about 18 months, swollen lymph nodes in my neck and behind my ear;both on the left side. Im currently investigating the possible reason as to why its been cleared up for over 5/6 months now.

1) I had a diseased root canaled, crowned w/silver/mercury, tooth extracted last June. It pained me FOR YEARS even though it was root canaled.
2) My EBV IgG that was crazy HIGH in 2014thru 2015 went down;is still high but much lower, and Igm is negative now.
3) Alongwith chinese herbal antivirals, I took valcyclovir
4) I just finished 3 months doxy

Soooo....which one OR all the above caused the swollen lymph nodes, which are NOW GONE...

and Im SO glad for this post that has helped me remember the great progress.

You also will eventually, hopefully see that symptom eleviated.

Good luck!!!

This symptom seemed to only occur when I was on Doxy for the month. Since being off, I don't get this as often.

lyme bacteria takes cover in the lymph nodes
/www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/06/110616193911.htm

when u take doxy, the active forms in the lymph nodes start to disintegrate, the bacterial debris from this stealth pathogen is then finally seen by the immune system, and it creates an inflammatory reaction that makes the nodes larger. so in your case, it was a herx.

lymphatic massage helps the nodes drain, red root nobody knows what it does, but it does something to the nodes that lowers the inflamation and/or it helps drainage.

I just finished 21 days of Doxy last night and my nodes are still up and killing me. I started the Doxy after removing a deer tick that had been feeding on me for at least 3 days - I had thought it was a tiny scab. I have pain to the touch in my gallbladder height of my stomach - but on both sides and was wondering if those are lymph nodes. I am going to have to look up all the locations of the lymph nodes. I also still have what I call "Meningitis Neck" with plenty of swollen and painful lymph nodes and glands.

Are you doing any of the adrenal massage draining? /youtu.be/QA-wi0d7-Ro

21 days isn't near long enough treatment. Doxy doesn't help your lymph nodes. The Doxy kills the bacteria, created a die off toxin that your lymphatic system is supposed to removed, and it often needs help.

Please watch my videos, particularly the second one.

Rikky, I had the behind the knee ones too. I almost feel like those are the worst!! So hard to sit/stand. Blargh.

Thanks for posting the links. This is a GREAT post. Love Heather's tips. I did it ten times and can feel the same drainage I do with Red Root.

Peteza, I can't believe something got you to herx - LOL!

I get swollen lymph nodes under left jaw (bit on left side). My son gets them too. Probably common with Lyme. Mine have gone down a lot with Red Root.

HI I was Just reAding about how root canals are really bad especially with lymes.. I just got one a year ago Nd am thinking of having it pulled ...I think this may have had something to do with your relief ...I read that the spirochetes live in the tubules in our teeth and the antibiotics can't get them out...I don't know how true that is...anyway I'm thinking of having my Mercury fillings replaced too
