I had also heard that some cold medications can exacerbate the problem. I haven't had this problem though. Best to have the doctor look at it.<br /><br />I had a followup with my endo Monday. He is setting up my one year whole body scan. It's had to believe that almost a full year has passed since my surgery.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11852732874371893782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1059779975065804003.post-39395282897266887292010-12-03T20:00:56.795-05:002010-12-03T20:00:56.795-05:00thanks to both of you. i did have swelling in my s...thanks to both of you. i did have swelling in my salivary glands on the side that is bothering me, when i got my I-131 treatment. hope it is just that. if so, i wonder if this will be an on going problem? so many questions! i will just have to be patient until monday. thanks again for your good wishes and prayers!Bea Young-Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02977702780007636072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1059779975065804003.post-58513388313387171242010-12-03T03:10:11.796-05:002010-12-03T03:10:11.796-05:00Oh Bea, this is Bobette ( it says Abba Electric, d...Oh Bea, this is Bobette ( it says Abba Electric, don't know how to switch it & it's midnight so best not wake up hubby to fix it)<br />I'll bet it's salivary glands like Karen said. That's what mine turned out to be. But it's very disconcerting to have to wait. I am so sorry. Maybe it's just the old redhead reaction to everything. Bummer having to wait over the weekend. You are not alone, we are all praying for you.<br />God bless and keep us posted!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03316489106085451269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1059779975065804003.post-61264257766570078762010-12-02T22:21:26.157-05:002010-12-02T22:21:26.157-05:00I sure hope it isn't cancer in the lymph nodes...I sure hope it isn't cancer in the lymph nodes. Could it be swelling of the salivary glands? Sometimes the RAI causes scarring and then the glands can swell and get blocked causing the neck and jaw area to swell. <br />Good luck BeaKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11852732874371893782noreply@blogger.com
