Hi, my name is sharon. I've been on dilantin for the duration of my diagnosis -many years. I'm now 47 and in 98 I had a hystercctomy. It was after that I noticed swollen glands under my arms and behind my knees. I thought it was due to hormones. I have had other side effects due to taking dilantin. Swollen gums. I talked to a dentist friend about it and he told me the dilantin would cause your gums to be very tender and swollen. Dilantin is the only med. I can take for my epilepsy that works for me. I have other health problems. Lupus, fibromyalgiia, ashma, and the list goes on...... Sometimes it is hard to tell what is causing what! I hope you find some answers.
