So 2 weeks ago I decided to go 2 weeks without touching my lymph nodes.
Well during this time I managed to keep my hands off 98% of he time. I touched them gently maybe 3 or 4 times I did not rub them.
Not much changed with the lymph nodes, except they seem a little less palpable but the same size. What really changed was my anxiety, my anxiety decreased a huge amount, although the thought of my lymph nodes still lingers on my mind, the anxiety is nothing like it was, I'm not even considering making another appointment with my doctor which to me is a big plus.
I learned that the more you touch or think about the lymph nodes the more you worry, of course I had a few bad days where I thought about them a lot, but as the days passed I thought of them less and less.
I wanted to make this thread because I know a lot of you on here suffer the same as me. And I want to tell you that the only way to find relief is to leave them alone, keep your hands off at all costs, of course this only applies to people who've talked to their doctors and got the all clear. I recommend requesting a ultrasound and complete blood count because this can show your doctor if anything looks abnormal or suspicious. But once you get the all clear, leave them alone for a while trust me it helps a lot.
Well today's my birthday so I am going to enjoy today, I hope everyone else is having a good day as well.
Remember keep yours hands off :)
