    Maybe Copaxone?

    Hi ladibabe,

    Not sure about the facial twitch, but it looks from your signature that you are on Copaxone? I think swollen lymph nodes are a known side effect of Copaxone, which is processed & flushed through the lymphatic system. My lymph nodes in my neck are almost always a bit swollen and tender and I notice it is worse the morning after an injection, and has gotten better during periods where I've forgotten or skipped an injection. I read just yesterday that staying more well hydrated will help mitigate this particular side effect, so I plan to start drinking more water to see if that helps.
    Sx since 2007; Dx Oct. 2014. Started Copaxone after Dx...praying that it's working!

      I did take Copaxone for about 6 months after DX.

        Lymphatic System

        Hey everyone,

        I hope you are all having a great MS system free day.

        I continue to have the same issues and like MS has just became a way of life for me.

          Hi ladibabe

          Thanks for good wishes and the same for you!

          Dealing with MS stuff has become a way of life (daily) for me too.

          We just have to keep playing those cards we are dealt.
