My lymph nodes didn't swell with the Prednisone either as I remember it. I have had swollen glands off and on, but I don't recall it getting worse when I started Prednisone either time.

I'm sorry I'm no help either here. I hope you will be able to find a med that works well for you. You poor thing - your body is really misbehaving for you! Sounds like you have an excellent relationship with your GP though, and that should give you some comfort. It seems like he can call this other neuro he is suggesting for you, to get direction if need be.

Best of luck to you from now on, honey!
