swollen lymph nodes - Fibromyalgia Message Board

I've had swollen and painful lymph nodes for about a year. At least once a month. This time twice in a little over a week does anyone get these? They are through my whole body. I've had blood work done(about 9 mths ago) everything was o.k.

Yes, I do. Sometimes they are so sore. I never know when I am sick or it's FMS. Went to pcp 2 weeks ago and had sinus infection.

I also get swollen lymph nodes around my neck and around my ears very painful at times. My doctor said that this is a systom of fibromyalgia.

Yes, I have swollen lymph nodes, especially in the neck/throat area. I've had them for years. When I was finally diagnosed with fibro, the rheumie asked me how long had my lymph nodes been swollen like that and I said years! He said, "No one has picked up on that?" And I said no. He said it was typical of fibro. Dawn2

I have had swollen lymph nodes in my neck and often have a slight sore throat. I'm glad to hear that it is due to the FMS, no doctor has ever told me that before, I was always worried I had some infection going on.
