Title: does anyone get swollen glands
Post by fraalan on Sep 10^th, 2006, 10:14am

diagnosed with CH and TN and I have had swolled glands for about a year. I see a ENT in a week or 2 but was wondering if there was a connection.

TIA

I have never experienced such a thing with or without ch. Welcome and hope you find some answers to your problems.

Have you been ill in the past year? Have you been diagnosed with any illness in the past year or two? Many things can cause swollen glands. One possible thing is mono/Epstein Barr virus (can cause swollen glands for an extended time period) but there are many other things that can cause swollen glands--I do not think it is the cluster headaches themselves. I have never had them as a result of CH. Usually they are a sign of infection.

WHAT did your doctor think that the swollen glands could be from when they gave you the antibiotics? Were you tested for mono? Did your doctor at any point think that you could have mono? Star
