I know I've posted about lymph before and still need to get some red root (I think that's what it's called ) but I have lymph node under my arm that doesn't ever go down completely... It makes me anxious confused does anyone else have a lymph node that hasn't gone completely down? It's been swollen since over a year (first Lyme treatment) my Dr has felt it and said it was fine... The size goes up and down all the time but never completely down... I've read auxiliary lymph nodes being reactive in women are common, I also only weigh 110 lbs. I am not treating Lyme right now... Feeling pretty good other than these anxieties... Good luck Lyme warriors !

The lymphatic system has multiple interrelated functions: It is responsible for the removal of interstitial fluid from tissues. It absorbs and transports fatty acids and fats as chyle from the digestive system. It transports white blood cells to and from the lymph nodes into the bones.

One thing our lymph system does not have is a pump. You have to be your own pump to get things moving.

I think it is Girlie that likes the rebounder. I could be wrong. That is a little mini tramp that you jump on.

I like walking and swinging my arms. That works.

I also watched this video. But warning!! Be gentle and don't do a lot right off the bat. It definitely will get your lymph moving and if you move too much to fast, you kind of overload yourself.

Oh and yes. It is Red Root. Remember LOW and SlOW with it also. If you try and make that fluid move quicker than you can handle, you will feel ill.

Baby steps.

Ahh OK! Makes sense now :-) I need to work at it!

Good luck and keep us posted.

On that video I did what she said and it was amazing. I had to clear my throat just like she said.

I had a swollen, sore clavicle lymph node.

I first found out it was a lymph node at my LLND consultation appt.
That was Aug. 2014.
My symptoms started April, 2013 and it "showed" up soon after that.

It did not resolve until many months after I started treatment...and then it would still show up (unannounced) every now and then...usually when I herxed.

It is one of my Bartonella Symptoms.

It has not reared its ugly head lately (have been treating Bart since end of August, 2015.

PeteZa - I had a piece of exercise equipment that you laid on your back and the platform moved - you kicked off of a mini tramp and slid back, then kicked off again, etc. It was a Pilates machine.
I don't have it anymore (it's a long story)
So it was a type of rebounder.

Thanks for the link PeteZa - that's what I used for my lymph massages.

I developed swollen lymph nodes in my groin when I was on abx and they, too, went up and down. Same deal with the ones on the left side of my neck.

My LLMD didn't want me taking herbs when I was on abx and I regret not pushing for them (or just letting him know I was going to do it anyway lol).

Still, my lymph nodes settled down during treatment.

It wasn't until I started Buhner's protocols that I started taking Red Root. I'd sometimes herx with swollen lymph nodes and upped my dose of Red Root....at the worst, it took one week for them to go back to normal but they stayed that way - yay.

Thanks for sharing that link, PeteZa! I, too, used it for my lymph massages.

I have lymph nodes in my neck and chest that swell a lot and I have two that have stayed swollen for years and are fine. I've had them checked many times. I also do a lymph massage on myself that helps.
