Ice lymph nodes

I was recommended to take hydroxine which I’ve been using recently and also heat creams like vicks it’s been tough cuz also have a lymph node on neck that I’m trying to get fixed soon any tips on this?

I got my forearm and hand blacked out, never had this before but my armpit started hurting towards the end and now I can’t even touch it wtf? Lymph nodes maybe? I literally just left the shop

In august last year I had strong infection, I was sweating by month, extreme fatigue, swollen lymph node under armpit.
Since then I have tons of symptons:

• neuropathic pain in back, deep pain in spine
• right shoulder blade is painful and deep itching
• my back feels so messed up I feel asymetric when I walk
• redness on face, flushing, red ears, heatwaves and warm feeling (mostly at night)
• electric, neuralgic pains in face, head, scalp, pain when I move my eyes deep in face
• body itching, itch deep inside ears, face
• skin on face, scalp, eyelids twitch randomly, like electric shocks
• fatigue, brain fog
• brain zaps
• pins needles in feet, body for example when I put my clothes on
• random warm feelings in legs

Here are pics of my red face flushed: https://ibb.co/album/WWw7VS
Bloodwork is ok. Is it some kind of long covid? Taking gabapentin, doesnt help too much. Please, tell me which lab tests should I take.

Hi, 25M and 82KG relatively healthy. Through my childhood up until 17 I was 114KG.
Dec 2021 I experienced taste and smell disturbance where everything tasted rotten. No explanation after going to ENT they couldn’t find a cause for it.
Fast forward about July 2022 I experienced the most painful pains in my back (middle back pain) but it was almost like nerve pains. These pains lasted days where I would experience severe headaches also. By this point the taste and smell difference had practically disappeared. Every food and every chemical tasted/smelled the exact same. All had the exact same rotten taste and/or smell. Now I notice the only thing that I cannot have due to the taste is mango flavoured things although I’m able to eat a fresh mango. Very random, I know.
CT/MRI of my head revealed nothing. X-ray of my spine, 2 chest X-rays also revealed nothing. Currently waiting for MRI with contrast of my neck to come back as well as a stool sample.
January 2022 I started to have blood test after blood test and everything seemed okay.
15th July 2023 my bloods showed everything being in range and all okay and then 31st July 2023 a spike on some things including:
AST went to 109u/l ALT went to 169u/l ALBUMIN dropped from 45 to 41 g/l TOTAL PROTEIN dropped 73 to 68g/l CRP dropped 4 to 2mg/l MCHC 346g/l RDW 13.8% to 14.3% LYMPHOCYTES 3.4 - 10*9L EOSINOPHILS dropped 0.2 to 0.1
By 22nd Sept 2022 these had all practically gone back to normal levels although once everything returned, my BILLIRUBIN started to creep up and hasn’t stopped.
31st July 2023 21 µmol/L 17th August it dropped to 16 µmol/L 4th Sept 27 µmol/L 22nd Sept 25 µmol/L 31st Oct 32 µmol/L 1st May 2024 39 µmol/L 6th May 2024 42 µmol/L
My first noticeable symptoms Dec ‘22/Jan ‘23:
inflamed lymph nodes in my neck and one behind my right ear which have not got bigger nor have they gone down. They’re not huge but I can feel them and couldn’t before.
Dry mouth and left side of my tongue feels odd to the point I had my wisdom tooth removed but it made no difference
Taste and smell differences (as mentioned above)
I also get a rash on the left of my chest that doesn’t itch but presents in the same place everytime. This started a day after my MRI of my head
Middle of 2023 I noticed my neck and back muscles are tense, my neck feels quite solid on the sides and I have shoulder pain both sides but only really when pressed. I have middle and lower back pain but the middle pain feels more like nerves
Occasional blood in stool
Extreme fatigue which came on suddenly Feb 2024 and I’ve never experienced anything like it. I wake up and I’m okay for about 1 hour and then I notice my eyes get so tired and I just want to sleep. As the evening comes I feel so exhausted and then when I’m in bed I seem to be okay although still tired, it’s comfortable laying down and resting and that’s all I seem to want to do. Work is horrific and I notice I have to constantly sit down and rest. I get lightheaded/dizzy spells which are difficult to explain. I’ve had pressure in the back of my head on my occipital nerves although 4 optician appointments and nothing.
1st Oct 2023 I noticed my poo was different, sometimes finding undigested food and what looked like mucus. Stools were looser than normal and by November I was finding that my stools had what looked like colour was leaking from them. Almost every bowel movement had an orange colour around it. Throughout this I noticed every so often my stool was flat/ribbon like.
Now almost every bowel movement has undigested food and the last 3 weeks I’ve been extremely constipated, so suddenly! My poo is dry, what I would describe as grainy.
My urine is darker than usual, I force myself to drink loads of water and this makes it a normal colour although in the morning it is really orange!
My vision has been getting worse the last 6-12 months and I often find myself rubbing my eyes to focus on whatever it is I’m looking at. (After opticians there was no significant difference in vision)
I also have experienced acid reflux which was originally diagnosed as GERD with my first visit to the Dr. Medication did not improve this and so I stopped taking it. ENT checked my throat and after a visual inspection said he doesn’t thing it’s throat cancer although I’ve said all along I’ve got symptoms of Pancreatic Cancer but the answer my Dr had to all of these results was ‘pancreatic cancer usually involved diarrhoea not constipation’
I’ve changed my diet to only drinking water and some squash here and there, eating more fruits and veg with more health proteins and cooking more than I was. Haven’t really been eating a lot of sugar the last 2 weeks although I’ve not noticed any difference yet.
My Dr has said they won’t rule it out but also are not ordering more scans etc until the other one is done. I’m booked for ultrasound on my liver which was an urgent referral and a 2 week wait but it’s not with contrast?!
I don’t know what else to do because no matter what I say to them they just aren’t phased. It seems I tell them one thing and they order scans for a different organ. What’s your thoughts?

I’m a junior and have low immunity and I’ve missed a lot of school this year because of it. When I get sick, I get SICK. And this is something I cannot control. There will be times where I have a fever or my lymph nodes swell up. I’ve also caught the flu twice this week and in the beginning of the school I caught Covid.
Recently, I missed 2 days of school due to a fever. I brought a doctors note but my principal emailed my dad that they won’t excuse the absences and that I can’t makeup the work I missed from them. He says I need to get on a 504 plan but I don’t think I need one. My average is a 91 despite the school I missed.
My question is, why wouldn’t the doctor’s notes be enough? What more do I need? He said he’s making a fool out of himself by continuing to let this go on. It felt as if he thinks I’m faking being sick despite my urgent care notes and doctor’s notes. He also said I’m “taking advantage” of the school system. Is this even allowed? How could he not excuse my absences even if I have a doctors note?
And the 504 plan, I don’t think my academics are really being affected. Despite my absences, my grade is still very strong. Him not excusing my absences prevents me from making up work.
What should I do?

Just curious. How long is it normal to have to wait for surgery after being diagnosed? I was diagnosed 5/2 and won't have surgery until 6/27. And all I can think about is - is it getting into my lymph nodes while I wait?

22yo guy here
Let me start by saying this first, 7 month ago I went cold turkey, it was the same time where I was at my worst, I lost hope in all my doctors. (I also had doctors in my family which I stopped taking advice from)
Well as you can guess that time was the worst time of my life. I was feeling so low I can’t even describe it. On top of my skin flair ups I experienced stomach ulcers with diagnosed IBD, weight loss, depression, fatigue, migraines, intense stomach pain and nerve ending pains like stinging. And yes I did go crazy during that time.
It was hard for me to explain but even though everyone was saying I should continue using steroids to “get my life back” and continue using immunosuppressants there was a voice inside of me that was telling me not to do it. So I didn’t. And that voice helped me all throughout the coming pain and fights reassuring me that I did the right choice.
I was lucky and got into a medical trial of some form of immunosuppressants but I declined it.
I closed myself of to the world (not to my close friends and family of course) and faced MY reality. Because this was my life now! Every day was a fight with inflammation. But with time I got better and better. My approach was and what gave me strength was telling myself that I am connecting with nature again.
I started to take long walks in the forest, I sunbathed a lot ( and am still doing so) I started to only use natural products, I developed a intolerance to any kind of soap or shampoo and am only using natural soaps/conditioners/ ingredients now.
I started using aloe gel which helped me insanely with my skin and moisture, I also developed intolerance to Vaseline my skin was very itchy when I applied it.
I only take showers once a week or a bath with epson salt.
That being said, 7 months ago I decided to risk it all and I am so happy to say it payed of.
My skin is healthy, I have no inflammation. For the first time in my whole life. I can sleep. I’m not in pain. I don’t have stomache ulcers or stomach pains. ( I have been on high potent probiotics for the 7 months) My migraines are gone. I stopped losing weight. For the first time in my life my lymph nodes are not swollen. There also used to be small pumps on my veins which are also gone now for the first time in my life ( this is just my own observation, doctors always ignored this)
1 month ago I started micro immunotherapy and am taking 2LALERG from Labolife, since it’s supposed to help your immune system regulate itself to its natural state and that aligned with my goal. It’s not a medication and has barely if any side effects.( I have no idea if this has helped me in any way just putting this out there) I have always had high IgE which also resulted in the inflammatory states in my body.
Yeah all in all I’m feeling really good. I though I was doomed for life. That things would never get better. But it’s not true. It can get better!
PS: I have been trying very hard to avoid stress in these months as I noticed how big of a impact it has on me and my body

Reddit I am feeling so guilty about taking off work. I work at a job where there is no assigned amount of leave, especially because we don’t have sick leave and PTO is only 10 hours a quarter. I had two vacations coming up that unfortunately landed within three weeks of each other (on vacation a week, work a week, on vacation another week). My boss was really awesome about me taking the two weeks off and I used all of my PTO for my first vacation.
During my first trip I got sick with what I believe to be COVID. I had an overnight flight delay and could feel myself just getting more and more sick on the way home. By the time Monday (when I was supposed to come in for that in-between week) rolled around, I was still sick and exhausted so I took the day. It was the right move because by Tuesday I was feeling so much better and more productive at work.
Then I go on vacation again. I’m fine until the following Monday (this week). I start coming down with what I think is either the cold or the flu. I worked Monday-Wednesday, but now we’re at today (Thursday) and I was up last night with a fever, swollen lymph nodes and I almost took myself to the hospital because I was struggling to breathe. I decided where it hasn’t been 24 hours without a fever it’s probably best to call in sick again. So I did and now I’m home having a hard time resting because I keep wondering if I should have just “sucked it up” and went into work.
This has been SO much planned/unplanned time off and I’m feeling incredibly guilty. I work with people all day so I can’t lock myself in my office and the majority of my work population are children. I know calling in sick was probably the right move, but I’m having a really hard time not feeling guilty about it. Any advice/words of encouragement/etc.?

Hi pretty much had swollen lymph nodes for as long as long as I can remember since I was a child, in my neck groin and armpit, I’ve got atopic eczema and a dust allergy ( which I think sparks my eczema ) … none of the lymph nodes have ever got bigger but they just don’t go away, I’m very thin 26yr M.. so there is one in my neck that people can notice… the ones in my groin are the biggest though!J ust wondering if there is anyone else in the same boat? And any tips on getting them down! My health anxiety is always playing up and I end up playing with them which of course doesn’t help… but I’m told if they don’t fro it’s nothing sinister! Any advice is appreciated

Back in the first open beta there was a super fun Sorceress build based around the Ice Blades enchantment and the Summoned Ice Blades skill node. You would cycle through all the cooldowns on your skill bar to summon an army of Ice Blades, then the Ice Blades would reset your cooldowns letting you cycle through them again and so on.... with enough enemies around you could get 20+ Ice Blades going and it was a blast.
The build was pretty clearly overpowered, so the skill received five different nerfs. Not just small number tweaks, but it was completely gutted and after that it was pretty much left in the dust. I've tried to make the build work post-nerf but its literally just not functional anymore. As far as I can tell the skill hasn't received any patches since then other than getting one new aspect that helps it apply the Vulnerable condition.
In particular can we buff the cooldown mechanics at least part of the way back to where they were? Right now Ice Blades skill and Enchantment aren't used in any builds. The conjuration skills in general have been getting some attention and the new Fractured Winterglass Unique is a hoot, so it would be nice to have this skill working again.

I made the agonizing decision to put my beloved 15-year-old cat to sleep on April 23. The other week, I wrote this little note to myself. Re-reading it was helpful for me just now, so I thought I’d share it with you too:
I had a TERRIBLE headache this morning. And I realized that I wouldn't want to live with that—just pain and discomfort that could not be relieved—as my everyday status........ Fortunately for me, I had the option and agency to take two excedrin migraine pills, which are amazeballs. My headache has since eased. She didn't have that ability. That's why she meowed at us every day, multiple times per day. We were her only option (and meow was her only word). She was completely powerless to stop her suffering. She tried, by not eating, but we forced food and steroids and appetite stimulants on her. She truly had no real choice in the matter. She was just living in pain and discomfort every day. She couldn't get comfortable. She tried the only thing that had ever worked—she asked us for help. And week after week, her efforts were fruitless. She was so tired. She just wanted rest. And she couldn't even rest because her lymph node was so enlarged—and getting larger every day—and it became impossible for her to even lay down comfortably.
I had the option to take a painkiller and had the knowledge that it would get better. And it did. She had neither the option nor the foresight of improvement. And truly, improvement was impossible for her with her incurable cancer. It was only getting worse, day after day.
She needed rest. My last act of love was taking away her pain and putting it onto myself instead.

About a month ago, he landed in the emergency room for pain in his stomach after eating. Turns out, there was a tumour blocking his colon. He had a hemicolectomy surgery done to remove it. They also took surrounding lymph nodes for testing.
Yesterday was his 3 week post-op appointment with his surgeon. The surgeon said they were still undergoing biopsies but it was revealed that he has Lymphoma. We do not know the exact type or stage yet. He did say that the growth in his colon was from the Lymphoma, not colon cancer.
This comes as a complete shock to us because he really displays no symptoms of Lymphoma. If it weren’t for his bowel obstruction, he would have been carrying on with life completely symptom-free right now. All of his bloodwork at the hospital was also completely fine (to the point where they almost turned him away at the ER for his stomach complaints, but that’s another story).
We are expecting a call in 1-2 weeks with more information. This is a brand new reality for us. Even just looking at the flair options on this sub, it looks like we have a lot to learn and get used to. Any advice is welcome.

Trigger warning- hospital stories I am looking for validation through strangers once again as I think it will help me advocate for myself in real life. I’m talking to my therapist about this soon too no therapy advice please. So as of about a month ago I 21f was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma (yes cancer, so sad, so young, let’s not focus on that part for the sake of this post.) This diagnosis comes with a bunch of medical testing and a few procedures to pretty much assess how bad this shit is. I was uneasy knowing this as I have severe trust issues with anyone I am specifically told to trust (parents, teachers, doctors) as a result from trauma.
I had a surgery about two weeks ago to get a lymph node removed on my neck. Looking back I’m pretty upset about how I was treated but I’m being made to feel unreasonable because this is how everyone is treated. I made it clear to my care team that I was nervous and uncomfortable and blatantly asked for reassurance and to have the procedure explained in detail. I made it so clear that I had to understand what was going to be happening to me. A big part was that I did not want to be naked on the table but I didn’t say that specifically because I don’t expect them to accommodate that but I thought I would be able to tell if I would be exposed at any part of the procedure based on what they had to do. I just needed to know to mentally prepare.
As I’m falling asleep I realize they’re pulling down the top part of my gown and my boobs are out in the open. I just remember essentially being like “what the fuck is that for” and then reminding myself that I have cancer and have bigger problems. I wake up laying down and I’m aware of what is going on but I’m very out of it. I open my eyes to look down and see that she once again pulled my gown down to remove the sticky heart monitor things that had been placed there before. There was a curtain next to me so the guy next to me couldn’t see but anyone coming from the front or the right would have been able to see me. The next day I’m examining myself in the mirror and I see tiny cuts around my incision and I ask then I’m told it is from some type of metal clamps used to hold open the part they were operating on. I cried about it off and on for the rest of the day of mostly frustration that I tried so hard to prevent the trigger of not knowing what is happening to me and it was all pointless. Now yesterday I found out they want to knock me out again and do a bunch more stuff all at once one of those being taking some of eggs to freeze them since there’s a 5 percent chance I’ll be infertile after this crap. But the oncologist TOLD me this is what is happening as if I literally have no say in if I’m going to get my fucking ovary cut open. Pretty much saying “might as well since we’re in there”. Like that is my organ dude it’s a big deal whether you try to gaslight me that it is or not it’s a big deal so at least let me think about it.
I’m freaking out because cancer is hard enough for a person with a normal amount of trauma but for me I just don’t know how I am going to survive if this is how I am going to be treated. Especially when I’m being made to feel crazy and inconvenient for having questions or concerns at all. I am trying to work with these people and my way of doing that is by wanting to be aware of what is happening and in general it’s totally fair to want to know if a private area is going to be seen by a group of old men while you’re unconscious or have extra cuts on your neck from a surgery. The people that are supposed to save me are taking the fucking life out of me. Congrats if you read all this I didn’t know what context was important so there ya go.

I want to make this VERY compact as to not overcomplicate things. I'm 26, M, 5'7, 199 Lbs.
About three years ago, I drank heavy and went to bed. I don't know if I got COVID or something, but I woke up with the nastiest cough ever, and the pain got better, but never away. There isn't a day that goes by where I think about doing something risky to myself, so I thought I'd ask to see what I could do or what specialist I could ask next. It feels like daily inflammation around my tracheal area, does NOT matter what I eat or if I don't eat. I don't have a problem with breathing, and I do NOT smoke.
List of things I KNOW it's not: acid reflux, asthma, thyroid problem, I've done extensive testing with each of these, and have already tried PPI's, gotten a barium swallow, chest ct, upper endoscopy, and it's nothing of the sorts.
List of things I KNOW helps: Antibiotics. I took two rounds of antibiotics two years ago, and one 2-week round of antibiotics VERY recently, and those ALWAYS had me feel normal/relieved around the pain, but it's never fully. I always feel that the round of antibiotics just, aren't long enough, or something. I recently took amoxicillin-clav 875-125mg and the first few days were RELIEF central, I cannot believe there was a point where I was beginning to feel normal.
What could I do? I want to get a biopsy of my tracheal area/larynx area, but my pulmonologist doesn't want to do that as the CT scan came out negative. I was given antibiotics by a new ENT that I visited and again, that's the ONLY time I felt normal. Could it be some sort of lingering bacteria that just won't be killed? Do I need surgery? I'm running out of fuel to keep going.
I've uploaded an image of where this constant, daily pain is. It's never my lungs, or anywhere else, only this specific area that gets better ONLY with antibiotics, but never fully. I'm very happy to answer any questions, please, I'm running out of options. Thank you!
https://imgur.com/a/TqUPE4x
Edit: Thought I'd add some more things.
I have enlarged lymph nodes in my neck area, and my WBC count has been elevated for years, further pointing to this constant inflammation. I am NOT a smoker, but recently, I tried marijuana for the first time to ease the pain, and inhaling the smoke REALLY hurt/burnt that area that I circled in the image much more than the rest. I'm thinking tracheal biopsy, but willing to hear any suggestions, I just want to feel free before doing something terrible.

Please any ideas of my symptoms
I had strong infection in August including swollen lymph node under armpit.
Woke up one day back then with my body on fire. Since then my symptoms include:

• whole body aches
• my back feels like its messed up, when I take breathe I feel stabbing pain in lots of areas, assymetry, even I feel deep stinging pain in throat/ear when I take breathe
• right shoulder pain, itching like neuropathy
• stabbing pains in face, head, ears
• burning eyes face
• redness on face, hot flushing, Red ears
• feeling of pain and asymmetry when walking
• deep pains in spine
• whole body pins needles, for example when I put on my clothes
• face skin eyelid twitching, scalp also, like electric shocks and skin jumping on head and face when I touch IT
• heatwaves burning on body mostly on evenings
• deep burning and hot feeling in legs and fingers
• whole body electric shocks, neuropathy so severe its painful to move my eyes
• bugs crawling under my skin
• constant phlegm/ post nasal drip

9 months of suffering. Only small improvement. Gabapentin, pregabalin, antihistamines without improvement. Good bloodwork. What should I do next? Mri, lumbar puncture?
I also have chronic genital infection resistant to antibiotics (but I still have some options like linezolid).
Its hell, I dont want to wake up anymore. Im trapped inside my body.

Hi all, 23f here
This is kind of long but please read it all if you would like to offer your insights
On April 26th I hooked up with a guy after a party. Vibes were right, he was very nice. We talked beforehand and made sure we were both clean. We had protected intercourse and unprotected oral (both ways)
I developed a yeast infection about a week and a half later. Not a big problem. I went to a sexual health clinic on 5/9 for it and the doctor diagnosed me with herpes as well due to swollen lymph nodes at the groin. I think it’s a reach, the ones by my neck were even more swollen and who knows it could’ve been my body fighting off the yeast infection or another STD. I was prescribed topical cream for the yeast and something called Valaciclovir for the possible herpes. The swollen lymph noses on my neck lasted for about 2 days.
I have not had any sores or anything like that. No headache or sensitivity to light. For about 2 nights in a row around 5/11 I had a SLIGHTLY elevated body temperature (can’t be called a fever) for about 30-60 minutes only. That was it. Then after that, a day where I felt fatigued. Then after that, my left tonsil was inflamed all the way down to my chest, but it didn’t hurt much. I talked with my one night stand and he said he was being treated for tonsillitis so I thought, maybe all these symptoms are just tonsillitis?
Nope, no tonsillitis. I woke up with a swollen left tonsil, spent the day with it, and by the time I was ready for bed all the symptoms were gone. And the weird part is , it didn’t hurt to swallow, eat, or drink whatsoever. It only hurt when I moved, such as looking up or down.
I haven’t really felt anything since. I developed oral thrush in my mouth from the yeast infection in my body, so maybe that caused the swollen tonsil? But when I checked my mouth that day, my tonsils looked normal. I’ve been dehydrated for a couple days now due to the oral thrush. That’s it
I also discussed this with the guy and based on past STD test results I can rule out the following: HIV, Syphilis, Gonorrhea. HIV is 0% chance
Could be herpes or mono. Or nothing. I can’t get tested until 3 months when all my (hypothetical) antibodies will be ready. Insights and advice welcome but please be nice. Questions welcome

I have been experimenting and using deodrants for a while and the 2 currently that work for me are Nivea fresh deodrant body spray and Nivea deep impact role on but the role on causes painful lymph nodes in my underarms along with swelling.
So my only options are deodrant "sprays". Nivea fresh deodrant spray works but it doesn't last long, I need to use it twice a day(I sweat a lot).
So I decided to search for other stuff but when I look up, ( AS we Indians don't know the difference between deodrant and perfume and antiperspirant, now all major brands have something called body spray with the purpose of deodrant and perfume mixed) so I'm getting all the suggestions of Body Sprays and very little of DEODRANT SPRAY which have less reviews on them.
So I'm left with no choice but to ask here.
Anybody who uses SPRAY instead of ROLL ON? If so what are the best ones?
Thanks in advance.

Hi. Hoping someone might have a brainwave of what could be going on!! We're at our wits end. 3yo male with chronic & prolonged constipation plus severe skin reaction to mosquitos & recurring cellulitis. Bit more info: we've seen multiple GPs & 2 paediatricians - all interventions mentioned are at their advice. He's grown out of a peanut & egg allergies but is still allergic to oats (doesn't show on the prick test but he gets a rash if he touches it & vomits within minutes if consumed). Was exclusively breastfed (self weaned at 2yo) & had cows milk protein intolerance (caused severe rashes, mucous & blood in the stool, terrible colic & reflux) which he grew out of at 8 months & introduced to solids at 6 months which is when the constipation started. Longest he went without pooing was 3 weeks & we intervened with softeners & followed up with suppositories. Has had an ultrasound & can't find anything except swollen lymph nodes in the abdomen, suspected from a previous virus at the time. Has a very healthy & varied diet, plenty of water, fruits & vegetables & a good appetite. He's very active too. He's now on a protocol of constant daily stool softener, a double dose 1 day & single dose the next, alternating. Started at a double dose daily but have been able to slightly drop it. He still only poos once a week at best & his stomach is often very swollen/bloated, it's usually very soft poo but a huge volume & he finds it quite distressing. Last year he started reacting severely to mosquitos (there's some at his preschool) & comes up in big swollen welts & blisters within minutes of being bitten. We give him a double dose antihistamine & put steroid cream & ice pack on it but these are getting worse & 3 times this year has resulted in cellulitis needing very strong antibiotics. We feel like there could be a link somewhere but keep getting brushed off & told to just keep doing the softener & it'll get better "in a few months" but he's been on it over 2 years & nothing has improved.
I hope all that makes sense! I will put pictures of the recent cellulitis in the comments & happy to clarify any details. Thank you!

Hey so I just had a biopsy done and it came back as sarcoidosis. I have several large swollen lymph nodes on my neck chest stomach and groin. Biopsy was done on my groin by the VA. I mean my nodes are sticking out of my skin on my neck. Is this normal and will medication help it go away. Did yall get multiple biopsy done? I just had one done and was told it came back in 5 days with the results.This is some scary stuff but compared to lymphoma, which I don’t want. Currently waiting on an appointment with rheumatologist and Pulmonologist
