Three weeks is about the time for the growth cycle of the bacteria-most definitely a 3 week herx-this is a good sign!

Definitely sounds like a herx to me!

I've read alot of people get swelling during a herx reaction.
Ussually I get soooo tired.
Hope you feel better soon,

Sure sounds like a herx but I would call your LLD just to be sure.

Yep!
But it might be a good idea to check with your LLMD on Monday about that swelling.
