2147300 tn?1369689688 I just did not know if bee venom would react with pen and riba, I know I have to stay away from prednisone for poison ivy but was unsure of bee venom issues. This nest is in ground so spray will not get to queen. Only way is with sevin dust and I can pour it on edge. I watched (idiot) as returning bees walked through it and carried it in hive. I know it doesn't take much so hive should be dead by morning.
Avatar n tn The syphilis blood tests are highly reliable and no medical conditions, including allergic reactions (to bee stings or anything else), have any effect on test reliability. Your 7 week test result will be accurate.
Avatar f tn Bee stings really did not work. I had several friends who tried it back in the day. No one kept up with it.
Avatar m tn vet thinks bee stings, she must have gotten into a nest or hive. She is better after a few injections and they sent her home with Prednisone. Benadryl didn't do a thing for it.
Avatar f tn I too have reactions to bee stings. 7 days ago I was stung 3 times by a hornet. Twice on my waist just above my waist band. I went to the doctor and got a shot of a steroid (started getting hives and swelling on my foot- large red area on my waist where the two stings were) My foot seems to be doing better my waist is itching (crazy) and I have abdominal cramps that extend from my sting to mid-stomach.
1331797 tn?1276142331 When I was first diagnosed, years ago, they were using bee stings as a possible treatment for MS. The doctor told me that outside of bee stings there really wasn't much else they could offer me other than comfort drugs. I settled for the comfort (Of which there was very little) and ate bee pollen by the hand full! All I got from that was beautiful hair and nails not to mention a slight pain med addiction! I sometimes forget to be grateful. But every time I see a bee it comes back to me.
Avatar f tn The most likely triggers for acute urticaria are allergies to pets, horses, latex and foods, such as shellfish and nuts,bee or wasp stings,allergies to medicines,Viral infections, such as glandular fever and herpes, dental and sinus infections, fungal infections, blood transfusions and vaccines. In your case the bee sting can be responsible for these hives. The mainstay of treatment of hives is antihistamine which may be necessary for prolonged periods (in excess of 6 weeks).
539780 tn?1213943976 After a few days if still swollen running hot water over the sting area makes it drain faster. Like hot water in the shower for 15 minutes twice a day on that spot. For me the swelling will stay for a good 2 weeks. But if I repeat hot water over the sting area I an make it go away in just a few days. By now you would have known if you were allergic. So if you had an allergic reaction other than swelling take antihistamine before running hot water over it.
Avatar f tn He placed me on Prednisone 40mg daily for almost 3 mo with little improvement. The rash is bilateral and is migratory. I have used several otc and prescriptions for antihistamines and lotions with little to no improvement. The rash is currently on my upper back, neck, scalp and hips. In other areas I have itching but no rash. I have also had allergy testing, lab work, light therapy and biopsy's with very little information obtained. Please help. Thank you...

The cause of chronic urticaria is often more difficult to identify.

Avatar f tn I know many people with MS who tried it years ago and said it really did not work.
Avatar f tn I also made a paste like you would do for bee stings and that brought relief. I put a teaspoon of baking soda in water and drink it, too. Following that protocol, I had a blessed absence of hives from May to December this year. From some reason I had a bad breakout this month and had to resort to 2 courses of prednisone. I know I am doing long term damage with this but what is the alternative? My hives now come with a lovely case of swollen eyelids and big bags under the eye.
506903 tn?1211847133 Hi, there! Apitherapy (Bee Venom Therapy) has been around for half a century or so and because the bee venom appears to have an antiinflammatory action on the nerves it has been used with a lot of "anecdotal" success by lots of people. It is an old part of Chinese traditional medicine for a wide variety of illnesses. Enthusiasm for it heightened in the mid to late 90's when it was featured on one of the News Magazine TV shows like 60 Minutes.
Avatar f tn His paw is now swollen and he is continuing to run around licking himself. I assume he was stung by a bee or bitten by ants. His mouth and face do not seem to be swelling but what can I do for his itching? He seems so miserable!
Avatar f tn They numb you with lidocaine, which stings like bee stings, and that and the laying still on table is the hardest part the rest is a piece of cake.
Avatar f tn im on day 6 ct from percs/hydro and just wanted to say how much reading this site has helped me, hearing that everyone else knew what it felt like and made it through was really what gave me hope. for the first few days my back pain was intolerable so i began bee sting therapy again, something i did before the opiates, and honestly the pain from 10 bee stings a day was better than the back pain, this still did nothing for the WD's which were agony.
