Hey everyone -

I just went a couple days ago for my second round of bee venom injections - this time in my back and in my head...

...ever since I've had a pretty awful headache - I never get headaches like this so I can only assume it's from the venom - just curious if anyone's had any experience with this.

I'm guessing there's some herxing going on in my brain and it's like a battle ground in there, hence the heaviness and headaches...any thoughts?

Well, any treatments that are effective have to potential to cause herxes. You're sure that you aren't allergic to the bee venom, right? No swelling around the throat or down the ears, right?

Maybe you should call your doc and ask some questions?
I hope that you feel better soon!!!

Yes, please bee careful (sorry I had too) but whenever I got bee stings I would always swell up I wouldn't go into anaphylaxis or anything. I'm not sure if the bee venom has removed the inflammatory toxin for pharmaceutical purposes or not. Does it feel like a typical herx?

Hope you feel better!
