I'm really concerned because I've had swollen lymph nodes in areas like my thigh, elbow, and back since 2008. It's been so long and I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you please help me understand what's going on and what steps I should take?

Hello, its important to have a thorough evaluation by a healthcare provider to determine the cause of the persistent lymph nodes since 2008. Chronic lymphadenopathy can sometimes be benign, but it may also indicate an underlying condition that requires further investigation. I recommend seeing a doctor for a physical examination and possibly some tests to understand the situation better.

I'm really concerned about my wife's health. She's done over 4 blood tests, and each one shows her B12 level is really high. She's not really sick or anything, but lately she's been feeling dizzy, and I'm wondering if it could be related to her diet. Should we be worried about how high her B12 is?

It should not be a cause for worry if Vitamin B12 levels are high. Her dizziness may be related to BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). You should take her to an ENT specialist to get a confirmed diagnosis.
