Inadvertent finding of cervical lymphadenopathy

Hi Becky, responded to this post I made a couple years ago on cervical lymph nodes. It wasn't until my primary order a contrast CT that they were even found and good news was that they weren't suspicious. Now I'm having a whole other problem. Over a month ago I somehow stumbled on slightly enlarged nodes under a arm, and then found them on both arm pits and groin. I have some "wonderers" (what I call them) where the nodes are farther from the site such as farther down my chest and into the top of thighs. I'm of course I'm praying that I have an occult infection. I've been re-diagnosed with CVID and am on IVIG treatment. I have mild anemia with normal vit/min testing. Three blood cancer tests were negative and next week I have 2 CT's and see hemo/oncology follow-up. I was searching lymphadenopathy here and come across my old post. Obviously this new situation is causing me some medical anxiety. I'm not having much luck searching posts with generalized, chronic lymphadenopathy. Any suggestions?

@sb4ca Well, first off, what has your doctor said about the lymph nodes? There are many causes of swelling, such as a simple infection, drug interaction, autoimmune disease. So your doctor is the best person to ask. You say you’ve recently been diagnosed with CVID—that’s an autoimmune disease, so it could be the culprit. But ask your doctor!
What do you think your doctor would say? Or are you just anxious about the whole thing?
