Rheumatoid arthritis doesn't really have much to do with swollen glands. Swollen glands are not necessarily bad, they can just indicate your body is fighting a disease.

Sounds like this person is being diagnosed and taken care of by the doctor. Could you talk with them about what they are doing so maybe you aren't so worried anymore?
