Jean in Newcastle Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I am not sick per se. I do not have a virus or strep throat. But for two days now my lymph nodes in my throat have been so swollen that my whole neck is sore and inflamed. This morning I could hardly eat breakfast because it's difficult to swallow. It's because I've been around people more than usual in the last couple of days, including a party yesterday and church today. (Last year this happened every time I left the house even to go to the grocery store so having this happen now is actually an improvement.) And before someone suggests it, my doctor knows that this happens and has nothing to offer. He could do expensive tests on my immune system but basically all he can tell me is that my immune system is overloaded and I need to rest and let it recover. Anyway - I'd appreciate some prayers. We have a busy week with commitments that I'd like to keep if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommyfaithe Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Faithe, what do you do for it? Lots of vitamin c, rest, a heating pad or ice if that makes my neck feel better...suck on ice cubes, take Motrin...or liquid Motrin if I can't get regular down and wheat grass shots. Cats claw can work too...for the inflamation, but is hard on your liver, so don't take with Tylenol. My immune system hates me....

MariannNOVA Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 You might try this: Virastop www.enzymedica.com This stuff is amazing. DH took it b4 we knew he had shingles and his nodes were swollen. He only broke out with 9 blisters, and was back to work after only 2 days home.

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 Oh, I'm so sorry! That sounds awful. I hope you can get rest this week and still keep your commitments. Does it count that I fell asleep in the car coming home from church and slept for two hours in the quiet car in the quiet garage?! My neck was a bit cramped after that!

Jean in Newcastle Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 Thanks everyone. My neck/throat is a bit better this morning after a good night's sleep. I'm hoping that I can manage a nap in this busy day too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denisemomof4 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I can't help but mention coconut oil. I've been reading about it this morning. If you do a google search, you will find tons of info on it. It can help the immune system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
