DERCUMS DISEASE

[Jason-son]

^pea sized lumps are most likely lymph nodes

I know they are Lymph Nodes, research a little and most Lipoma's are not painful, when they became painful that's when more attention needs to be taken but not so with me..
Anyway I've got some more ideas on procedures after my baby is born and my GP is prepared to help out as much as he can. 

Cathie I think it's a good idea for you to look into this Dercums Disease more too...weight gain is one of the symptoms (despite diet and exercise) maybe if you go to the dercums society website and print off some literature and give to your GP ???

if  you are going to have the endoscopy, make sure that they take a couple of small biopsy tissue samples.  This is going to be my next step, but i have such a bad gag reflex, that they will probably have to almost knock me out for them to do it.
Good luck sammy.  I'll be praying for a great outcome.

All tests on hold while I'm pregnant, just have to wait and see what pregnancy does, either make it worse or as many keep telling me "It May Just Fix Me"

One can hope - that would be nice.
