Not sure. I don't feel sick at all. Under my arm is just sore and a little puffy if I press on it. I think I caught a bit of 'hippie disease' from the weekend before last. It's odd because a few days ago the node on the right side was a little sore and now it's switched sides.

Sounds like your body is detoxing, taken any niacin lately?

its on a tour?, ..., where next? is there a t-shirt? etc
or possibly
you got some kind of 'italian flip-flop' disease

if you cant get any info from other infectees then, ..., its down to the docs for you innit?, ..., tho i suppose if theres no other symptoms theres not much for them to work on without doing expensive blood tests etc

Could be! I had an incredible amount of alcohol and a 3-day hangover before this started (cliffs: puked from 4am til it was dry heaves around 6am, got 2 hours of sleep and puked some more). Actually, my throat nodes were a little swollen during the hangover and my right arm was slightly sore then, too.

I take a multivitamin every day but maybe I should grab some niacin also.

@avsp: it's the full-body award tour. First stop was the throat, then the east coast, now the west coast. Next stop a waterslide trip through the kidneys and out the urethra into the scenic NYC sewer system and eventually the Hudson River. If it gets worse I'll probably just try to get a Z-pack from the doctor or my mom (who is a nurse). I'm sure it's nothing serious right now since I have no other symptoms.

Yea, sounds like your body is detoxifying after all that alcohol... Your body uses the lymph nodes as a dump for toxins when your liver can't detox fast enough.

There's a Vitamin Shoppe under my office. I'll go grab some Niacin down there

The reason I asked if you've been taking niacin is because it makes the detox stronger, so unless you want more soreness in your lymph nodes I wouldn't do that.
