I started my Bee Venom Therapy last Wednesday. I am amazed at the difference in how I feel. I finished my IV Rocephin last Friday so the only treatment I have had since then is BVT. I had an amazing day yesterday. Spent the weekend with some family, stayed up until 2am Friday night, got up at 8am Saturday, we went to the lake, I had to climb over big rocks to get to the water from the picnic area and I could do it! Just on Friday I probably could not have. We played for a couple hours, then went to dinner. I felt great, laughed and had intelegent conversations. I felt normal all but some minor tremors in my hands.
Today I am tired but I'm on two days of no stings and I believe I am herxing. My legs are achey but this is all tolerable and not as bad as it has been!
My mood is so much improved.
Time will tell but I am impressed so far.

Congratulations!!!

Well, you're braver than I am!! LOL!! I'm pretty allergic to bee stings, so it's something I wouldn't do, but I'm thrilled that it's working so well for you!!

Please do keep us updated on your journey!!!

Thank you so much Trav! I am sooooo excited about the future of my treatment.
I do have tattoos do I think this pain is minor in comparison and similar as you forget about the pain by the next time you do it.

Will keep you updated!

Wow! Such amazing news! Please keep us posted :)

LOL! Well, that explains it!! I don't have any tattoos either! LOL! I am covered with freckles and never thought any tat would look very good on me because of that - and being sick so much of my life, I just always figured that I didn't need yet one more thing. LOL!

But I swell horribly from bee/wasp stings - last tiem I was stung, in was on my finger and we had to ice down my whole arm because it was swollen stiff by the time hubby got back from town with enough ice - and it was less than 10 minutes!

But - it surely doesn't stop me from being fascinated by it! Best of luck and I look forward to hearing more!

I've noticed from BVT that I have more energy, hardly any pain anymore, my bladder spasms have stopped and I Don't pee 4-5 times through the night and I'm finally sleeping better again.

So glad your seeing great results already and decided to take the plunge and explore new things.

Thank you Revive! I am glad you are getting some great results yourself!

And truly the pain from the stings are much more tolerable compared to some of the crazy stuff Lyme and Co does to my body!

Trav maybe you should get a tattoo! Hehe

I was thinking about the bee/wasp sting you mentioned.
Unless you have a throat closing, lip or tongue swell you probably could do this. You should see my knots on my back from the two most recent stings.

Also for the people that have a high reaction, they can be desensitized over time with a prepared bee venom in small amounts. It takes longer but they could then participate in BVT.

It's incredibly interesting stuff. You may have read that Universities are doing studies on Bee Venom to cure HIV.

Some have the gift of healing buzzing right outside their windows......

I will add that someone that has a strong reaction work with an Apitherapist and not go at it alone!

Say, I don't think I would do it either if I were Trav.!

However, I'm not, so I'd like to know more about how to proceed. I have a friend who owns bee hives.

I can't find any apitherapists however.

One big drawback for me is that I'm on Beta Blockers. This class of drugs renders epipens useless.

So I might not be able to do anything.

Nah I agree and Trav has no real pressing reason to as this point, she is healed!

Yes the Beta Blocker is the big issue, I've seen where someone said they have two epipens but I wouldn't recommend. Can you wean off the Beta Blockers?

No, I don't think I can. I risk a very high heart rate.

I could only wean off if my current treatment works, and solves the heart issue to boot.

Yes I would not risk the the Beta Blockers right now. Hopefully you can heal with current protocol and then if you needed the Bee Venom last after your heart issues are resolved you could add it!

Blessings,

So happy to hear bvt is helping!

very cool stuff, thank you for sharing, keep us posted!

I guess so, Dang it! It's too bad. It sounds so promising. But then, on the other hand, I wouldn't want to get 30 stings a week. It sounds intimidating.

Margaret the positives so outweigh the negatives, I can't wait to get my 10 stings tomorrow. I have so much energy, my bladder spasms are gone, my tinnitus in my right ear gone, my pain level is way down to not there at all with the exception of herxing last night.

I think my neuropathy in my left hand is gone or barely there also and I am sure if I started writing them down I could come up with more things gone.

I've been doing BVT for alittle over a month and more symptoms have disappeared in that time frame then being on anx for 18 months. Wish I had know about this sooner.

Hope others embrace this concept instead of poisoning their systems with all the anx. I am still taking a few, not as strick as I was but I am soon ditching them.

I love how the new me feels!
Posted 7/29/2015 2:18 AM (GMT 0)
That's wonderful Revive, but if, by chance I had an allergic reaction, then not being able to use an
Epipen could kill me.

I can't stop my Bystolic, at least not now.

Otherwise, I'd be scrambling around searching for an apitherapist practically this minute!

You don't have to do 30 stings per week Margaret. Each person moves at their own pace, starting with just one or two stings and increasing as they feel able. I'm doing around 15-20 per week and have more energy, optimism and mental clarity than I've had in a long time.
Posted 7/29/2015 1:16 PM (GMT 0)
I wasn't saying you should do it Margaret, I was just saying the positive outweighs the negatives. In your case,I wouldn't do it myself. You would definitely need a professional to do it and guide you. Sorry if I sounded alittle brash.

Arkansas I am glad you are seeing improvements with BVT!

My mental clarity is improving everyday!
