I am finishing my second week of Jap Knotweed - 1 pill/3x a day. After the first week I have developed a strange stiff neck. First it was my left side and now it is both sides but more at base of where skull starts. Also having cold sensation on top of head. Could this potentially be a herx? I know occipital lymph nodes are in this area. No amount of detoxing helps but motrin does, so maybe it's just a plain old stiff neck. I plan on starting 2 pills/3x tomorrow.

I have almost daily pain at the back of my head/neck, so yes it can definitely be a herx.

EBV and/or Bartonella flare can cause stiff neck. Lymph drainage is useful, massage, saunas and some moderate workout.

Red Root tincture is awesome for draining lymph nodes.
