I had a very hard, sore lymph node directly behind my T ear much of the year before I became disabled by tick borne diseases. Susan Tell us about your tick desease...I have a tick bite on my ankle that's been there for 25 years...I've had T for four years now. > x-no-archive: yes > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Susan >Tell us about your tick desease...I have a tick bite on my ankle that's been >there for 25 years...I've had T for four years now. You've had the same tickbite in one spot for 25 years??? I had one on my lower leg for most of one year, but a few days of tetracycline got rid of it, leaving me with decades of sequelae, since my Lyme went undiagnosed. You can read here for more on TBDs: http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/Oasis/6455/lyme-links.html Susan Ticks can carry Bartonella h. (cat scratch fever). One of the main symptoms is enlarged lymph nodes. re Lymph Nodes: this is the body's response to an infection or other condition. White cells and good defenders gather to defend the body. There are over 200 possible causes of enlarged lymph nodes of the neck, most common being chronic tonsillitis. A node that continues to enlarge must be investigated. What is that node protecting you from? What is it fighting? But is it a node? It could be a cyst, a fatty deposit, etc etc. Tragically I see patients every day who put off getting treatment for their high blood pressure - something that is simple and easy to treat. The same goes for a "node". That is a treatable condition, if you go to the doctor to have it diagnosed and treated. Speculation is OK, but you are speculating here on one of over 200 possible causes, most of which are treatable . A general surgeon or an ENT doctor should be consulted about a lymph node that is symptomatic or is enlarging. Murray Grossan, M.D. http://www.ent-consult.com |
