The node(s?) in my neck and under my jaw are getting more tender and bothersome.

I still have pain and discomfort in my teeth on the L side which varies between a 0 to a 3.5 but is usually around a 1.

I think I have a sore on my tongue (like a recurring canker sore) but I think it comes and goes and maybe I’m biting it every once in a while due to changes in my mouth.

The node is worrisome and it seems to be tender and swollen for almost 3-4 months.

I’m starting to melt down.

Trying to get in for a biopsy but soonest anywhere is serval days away.

I don’t feel well at all.
