What Causes Severe Fatigue And Swollen Lymph Nodes While Suffering From Fibromyalgia?

I am a 41 year old woman with fibromyalgia and sleep apnea. I have been feeling worse lately, more tired, weak, swollen glands off and on, headaches. I am obese and have been trying to lose weight. I have been walking 3-5 times a week. I will occasionally lose 3-5 pounds only to gain it right back. I had a Blood test done so I can make an appointment with my Doctor. Looked at the results tonight and my T3 uptake is high. My mother has been on thyroid meds since she was a teenager. My father had his parathyroid glands removed. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Hello,

Fatigue can be part of systemic issue as vitamin, iron or other deficiency ; but the lymph nodes enlargement do not sound normal for a fibromyalgia patient.

However, if the site of lymph nodes with associated features are narrated,then better guidelines can be figured out.Hope this will help to clear your doubt.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
