Yes another post by me.🤨 But has anyone had lymph node pain? The lymph nodes in my neck are the size of a double cherry and I have auxiliary node pain, as well as inguinal node pain that is sometimes very sharp. Is this a normal thing for Lyme disease. I am freaking out bc the lymphonic node system being messed up like this doesn’t look to be good news at all. I’m afraid.😢

Lymphadenopathy (chronically swollen lymph nodes) is quite common with these infections. Swollen lymph nodes behind my ears has been one of my most consistent hallmark symptoms. Always flares/swells with effective treatment, especially with babesia treatment, sometimes get very very sharp knifelike pain but usually it is a dull throbbing sensation. I think this symptom is more common with bart/lyme. My lymph nodes have reduced in swelling over time as I continue to effectively treat the infections.

And of course it wouldn't hurt to rule out other causes for peace of mind and proper due diligence.

So not to be an a-hole, but can you make your post titles more specific? E.g. "freaking out about swollen lymph nodes" I tend to not notice titles that are too general and you will get more views if you are specific.

I wish I could blame Lyme, but nope, I have always been a b*tch :-D
