sore lymph nodes everywhere!

I havent been on here in a while... In the last few weeks I have gotten much sicker....my lymph nodes all over my body feel sore! (no palpable lumps that I can). I am sore in armptis, inside elbows, inside knees, clavical areas, and a bit in my neck. The soreness gets much worse while attempting to sleep at night.

Recent blood test showed high c4/c8 ratio which really scared me because sounds like lymphoma. High IGG titers on mycoplasma and Coxsackie A at the moment (was told those are active despite no IGM positive). Th weird thing is that lyme WB shows absoultely nothing, not even old infection. (The is the first time I have retested for lyme in years, was diagnosed in 2012 w pos igneix and cdc and pos PCR). I have def. never eradicated the lyme.

I am also experiencing full body soreness (feels like all muscles are sore), bottom of feet and hands very sore (bart??). Also, terrible rib pain (myco?)Huge increase in insomnia

Thoughts?

Sorry to hear you've had a worsening of symptoms.

You can't rely on follow up wb testing - I wouldn't bother...it's just a waste of money.

A positive - means you still have lyme - which you know because of the worsening of symptoms plus new ones.

A negative could just be your poor immune system can't mount a response to pull a positive band. (via antibodies)

I attribute my rib pain to bart...and the bottoms of my feet pain.

Did you treat for bart - and with what? Had you stopped treatment?

Sounds like Epstein-Barr to me. Have you had your EBV titers tested? Like all the herpes viruses, EBV lingers in your body forever and can reactivate when you are exposed to a new virus or otherwise weakened. My mind goes to EBV because of the lymph node pain and muscle soreness, but I suppose the Coxsackie could present similarly. I'm not sure that Lyme is the most relevant thing for you at the moment.

I would keep digging with tests if you can afford it and you trust your doctor, and hit immune-boosting supplements (elderberry, echinacea, vitamin C, glutathione, maybe even transfer factor) and anti-inflammatory supplements (curcurmin, magnesium, Epsom salt baths) hard. Also add lymphatic massage and dry brushing if you can.

You sound pretty miserable! I hope you get back to a better baseline soon.

omg..had no clue re : the CBD oil! I will try stopping that and see if anything improves.

My EBV titres do not show current active

Doe anyone know what the high CD4/CD8 ratio means?

also, seem to be sweating more than usual at night (have been sweating for years from menopause...)

I was tested for every single autoimmune disorder....all negative
