I've been experiencing swollen lymph nodes for no apparent reason for the last year or so and have posted on here a few times in the past. 

I currently have several swollen lymph nodes on both sides of my neck. They are fairly small and seem to move (at least side to side) but I'm so aware of them they feel huge. I think all are below 1cm apart from 1 which you can see when I bend my neck. The big one came up a few days after my covid vaccine in June so I put it down to that and it did reduce in size at the time but has stayed big since (but it's very squidgy). 

I was trying not to worry as I read about vaccines and nodes on here but now lots of other small ones have appeared in panicking. I have a GP appointment on Tuesday (soonest they had) and I'm expecting a 2 week referral (based on the fact I had one in October but the node in question disappeared and they discharged me without seeing me!! They said gp would refer back if I get more swollen which they have). 

I'm just so scared, I also don't know what to tell my family as I don't want them worrying. Has anyone been in similar situations and all was fine? I do have Lupus which is an autoimmune disease so hoping it's just due to that 

Any reassurance is really appreciated
