Hi guys, does anyone experience swolleness below the jawline. It feels stiff when you turn your head to the other side. I have it in my left side more then on the right. I don't know if it's a lymph node or what. It's not painful unless I press there. The weather has been cold and rainy and I feel a headache, painful throat and I'm extremely tired.

I don't know if this is normal in fibro?

I have swollen nodes for months now. I have had them checked and everything is fine. However I disagree that it’s not a fibro symptom, I have read countless information that states that it can be, along with its sister illness chronic fatigue syndrome.

I get swollen but only when I get a sore throat thinks it’s from some of the meds tho as I get a dry mouth and then a sore throat and then get swelling 😩

Thanks suzette. I have also read this online. They say that the nodes swell when you're system is fighting off something or the system is down.

You should definitely see a doctor Margie's right. I don't know where I read this though I was reading some fibromyalgia website but I heard that the jaw pain it's not uncommon. So it is part of a fibromyalgia symptom at least on one website it said that. Because they said the 18 points a good indicator but there are other symptoms and that was one of them.
