HELP!!!

I am going through a flare, and this time it has really affected my lymph nodes. The swelling is by my collar bone and all the way up to my face, my husband sees the swelling up to my eyes. Has this happened to any of you? My neck/throat are so swollen I look like Brock Lesnar. Please let me know if anyone has experienced this. I had swelling in lymph nodes before, in my armpits. Now this is all above my shoulders. It has been going on about 10 days.

Thank you in advance,
~Helen

Hi again, I saw my pc and she said I have a sinus infection and ear infection. I'm on antibiotics now for two weeks. Also, I have been on steroids for almost 2 months. I see Rheumatologist on Thursday so we shall see what she has to say. Thank you, everyone! 😊

This happened to me with my last flare. One lymph node swelled to the size of a golf ball. I was also running a high fever. I ended up having to be hospitalized during that flare. I would call your doctor.
