    Sarah I had  swollen armpits many times I mean my Lymph glands would swell up big .Went to PCP its a inetion from hair (ingrown) or shaving.Dont worry unless your armpits and neck lymph glands are all swollen at 1x.sending you positive energy.your fine.

      You are stressing out because you are dealing with anxiety, Sarah. Find something you like and go do it. We can either focus on the anxiety stuff, or change our focus, Honey....our choice.

    Hello Sarah

    Everything seems to be in hand, your GP seems to feel everying is in control.

    I have a lump on the back of my neck on the spine and I have had the tests and all was ok. Be patient and everything should be fine

      Yes Sarah

      Yes it helps, all you can do is wait and see, if you feel they are getting bigger phone the Surgery, 

      Good Luck

      Keep a hold

      like i said before though all bloods were fine so i should feel better and relieved at that,ive been advised that if there was any kind of problem it would have shown up in my blood test,health anxiety sucks,just when you feel its under control and youre almost back to your old self something comes along to start the cycle again,6 months ago i would have handled this very differently x
