This is the strangest I have ever felt since symptoms started two years ago.
I started off with a massive clearing of what felt like fluid in my head, like there was a quiet meningitis that had brewing forever. I don't even know if you could call this herxing, it was just massive weirdness from head to toe. I had a few days where paresthesias all up and down my arms were intense; like fireworks down my shoulders every afternoon.
I was having fevers too every afternoon, but they're dying down.
I had a day where the weird swelling in my parotid gland fired up again, plus lots of cervical chain lymph nodes filling up all around the occiput. then it went away, and now all inflammation in my neck and shoulders nearly disappeared. I mean ALL, I can turn my head from left to right, I feel like I got a new neck.
This was my 15th day on rifampin. My god, what in the hell is in me?

- My hands instruct me to get to my point fast:
Talk to your LLMD if you have concerns. They are best to help - and need to know your reactions.
Be sure your liver support is very broad. This is different from "detox" "events" [which can be too harsh sometimes] to include more TLC for the liver.
LIVER & KIDNEY SUPPORT & and several HERXHEIMER support links, too. -

Thanks Keebler. Pretty sick but I dump a bunch of this kind of thing in my shake every day.

- That's part of the point, though. Dumping too much stuff in all together may be too much stuff. Just be sure to consider if the things intended as support could be too aggressive.
And, all together, in liquid, can run through the body too fast as well. -

Thanks for the update, especially since I share the symptoms you describe and I'm starting rifampin tomorrow. I really need a new neck!

Taking red root, thanks blue. I don't know if I could have made it through without it.
Red pill herx land is pretty wild for sure.

"now all inflammation in my neck and shoulders nearly disappeared. I mean ALL, I can turn my head from left to right, I feel like I got a new neck."
That is fantastic! I know your neck was driving you crazy.
Aloe can also move lymph. I did an experiment on myself once with Sole/vit C. I started off on an advanced dose as I thought it was probably not going to help me anyway. Umm, wrong. It must have killed so many parasites that my whole lymph system net in my body was actually congested to the max. You know those illustrations of the body's lymph network? I could FEEL that.
It was so so swelled up that I could not even bend, in the slightest, my upper body forward. Total body agony and awake and pacing for ELEVEN days until I took some organic aloe vera juice and that quickly reduced the lymph. It was so interesting.
