Feeling somewhat better and I have been working throughout, but resting any chance I can.  Question for all... how long were your lymph nodes swollen?  Mine are just right side neck now. Still big and have another one with my latest sore throat and ear ache. Over most of the Joint pain and headaches. Taking vitamins and trying to eat well. Just not working for me. Praying for help to God. About once a month I get a cold or some sickness. Thanks for letting me ramble on.   Cj

    HI CJ,

    Swollen lymph nodes in the neck can be very common with mono and other viruses too. I had mono and I had what the doctor called a reactive gland in my neck below my jaw that was aching most of the time, it took a number of months for that to go but that's the way mono works for a lot of folk - if it's not mono and another less nasty virus it could last not long at all hopefully, and even if it is mono be assured that this pain does go away - this was one of the last symptoms to leave me but it does get better so hang in there.

    Hoping you feel much better soon and definitely praying to God is the best help we can ask for - He knows more than all of the doctors, hoping and praying for things to improve very soon CJ.
