My post got off topic focusing on the hyperbole of the GP.

Not a UC thing in my experience.
Have you had full panel, inflammation, etc blood testing done?

Happier,

I haven't had COVID..so I don't know about that part.

When I am in a flare with my UC,/Crohn's I get Swollen lymph nodes. I know a flare is coming when the lymph node under my right arm hurts when shower water hits it. Depending on how bad the flare is... I will sometimes get swollen lymph nodes elsewhere. I don't know about anyone else though.

(Sorry I got you off topic.) Hope this helps!

Yes, thank you.
I’ve never noticed swollen lymph nodes before. But it could have been all along and I’m a bad scanner. Because I am. Because I don’t want to think about it.

It seems to be resolving itself without antibiotics.

I think my husband was oh so right to take me to the beach.

I've never noticed it with my UC or had any GI doctors feel my lymph nodes so I don't think it's a UC thing.
