   Does anyone have sore, swollen lymph nodes in the neck and in the arm pits?
   Does this have anything to do with autoimmune issues?
   thanks

   Hi Vicki,
   
   It is true in my case. I was just diagnosed with Sjogren's in July and have had to go to the doctor
   4 times. 3 for swollen glands and 1 time for swollen lymph node in my neck!
   
   I also have Addison's Disease, Graves Disease, Peripheral Neuropathy and low vitamin D. All of these
   items are autoimmune.
   
   Go to the doctor and get your symptoms checked out! Good Luck.
   
   Bobbie

   I get them when I have a flare up...I have sarcoidosis...but was told that anytime your lymph nodes swell there is some kind of infection or something that your body is trying to fight off.

   Yes they do swell up when the lymphocytes are moving through the nodes, this is an autoimumne attack as it is their
   that the change from antibodies to auto-antibodies takes place.
