Hello, does anyone have any suggestions on treating swollen lymph nodes? Does this seem normal, ever since I started BURBUR/PINELLA I have had been getting headaches on the top of my head and swollen lymph nodes. They feel bumped up and my head feels heavy like its full of water. I am treating with Samento and Bandarol along with the Burbur/Pinella for detox, should add in any other treatments? Thank you for your help!

One of my first symptoms was a swollen, hard, and painful Clavicle lymph node.

I didn't know what it was until I had my first LLND appt. (2014)

What worked was treating bartonella....during that treatment another one popped up behind my ear...but quickly resolved.

Haven't had one since.

Mine were swollen for a long time, more than a year. Finally went down when I went on a low-carb diet and supplemented with Vitamin B (very deficient). Not sure why really.

Was this prior to treatment, Dahlias?

Thank you for your replys! Glad you guys are doing better with this symptom. Is it normal that I would not have this swelling/heavy head feeling until now which is 7 months after my bite, do you think the treatment is bringing the bacteria out? My ears have also been feeling full and my tinntis is louder. When our lymph nods swell like this Is it a good thing or a bad thing to be happening? Thanks again for your help!

I don’t recall having any head pressure until after I started treatment - I think it was after the bart treatment started

I thought it was Babesia symptom - but not certain.

The lymph nodes can become swollen/inflamed in response to infection. I believe it’s your system trying to get rid of the bacteria/virus.
Sometimes abx treatment can provoke it.

Ok thank you! I did not get this symptom while I was on antibiotics it just started after doing the herbals but I'm think I read different things kill different bacteria so hopefully what I am on now is getting rid of some bad stuff! Thanks again!

I hope you are too, CalmLittleBuddha!

Do you ever do the lymph massages?

My sister just showed me a DIY lymph massage, it might be worth me getting an actual lymph drainage massage if this keeps up though, that is a good suggestion. Thanks so much again for your help!

No, very recent. I had been on the same protocol for 15 months. I changed my diet and added vitamin B and the last stubborn lymph node went down suddenly. I think something about that got things moving / draining.

It was a little different so thanks for posting that!

I'm also on a very low carb (keto) diet and I think they've improved marginally. The lymph around my armpits and apparently lower back for some reason, is all swollen and hard and kind of painful especially around my shoulders. I was getting lymph massages and just came back from one today, she says I've improved a lot.

If your lymph node swelling correlates with the burbur and pinella, why continue taking these? Your body is going through enough autoimmune reactions. Herxing shouldn't last very long, especially when these are supposed to treat herxing. Maybe you have a sensitivity to a compound in one of these.

I don't recall them saying how long the herx has been going on but this most definitely sounds like a herx, not a sensitivity to the herbs. It's not an autoimmune reaction but a detox reaction.
