Hi all... Bit of a stupid question, but hey... they are my speciality, so here goes.
I woke up yesterday with a stiff neck and what is I think some sort of swollen gland in my neck. It's right under the base of my jaw bone and it feels distinctly swollen (though, tbh, I can't actually see anything). It is painful to touch and quite achey, though the ache gets better with ibuprofen. I have no other symptoms, although I do feel a bit as if I've been run down by a bus... but I haven't had much sleeep over the last week (that is to say, even less than normal) so the tiredness and achey-ness could just be lack of sleep. Any ideas what this is? Dh just gives me his best 'what are you whingeing about now?' look, since I am clearly not 'ill' in a conventional sense of the word. But he's at work now, have been charging about all day, kids are fighting, and all I want to do is sleep!
TIA, and thanks for letting me whinge without giving me that look...
