It is also associated with headaches, dizziness, fatigue, muscle aches, and sometimes anemia.<br /><br />The diagnosis is made by looking at the blood cells under the microscope rather than the Elisa and Western Blot tests down for Lyme disease.<br /><br />With the swollen lymph node under the chin she certainly could have some local infection. (mononucleosis can be associated with swollen glands and a lot of similar, aches, headache, etc.)<br /><br />Her symptoms could also go along with fibromyalgia. The sensation of being "in a fog" is a frequent complaint along with fatigue, dizziness etc<br /><br />I think just following up with your family doctor would be the way to go for the present.<br /><br />Good Luck!! Would love to hear how this all turns out.<br /><br /> Space Docspace docnoreply@blogger.com
