Hopeny Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 DD9 PANS/Lyme (crossing fingers and toes otherwise doing great) was bitten by a bee in her neck at our community pool. Lifeguard removed the stinger and she continued to swim at pool. Came home and complained of severe exhaustion, went to bed at 7 p.m. Called ped who said it was probably adjustment to camp (she is going to art camp so not very active) and swimming. Since then she has been tired/lethargic. Had a mild sniffle. She has not had any real pain but has a small bump at the sting site, it's been about 10 days. I did some googling and found something on a bee venom reaction, its not an allergy per say but an immune reaction to the bee venom. I think the ped will think I am off the deep end if I bring this up. From what I read this seems to go away on its own but wondered if anyone has experienced this. I am thinking this happened because of her still somewhat out of whack immune system. Interested in hearing if anyone else has experienced this.

Kimflow Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Could she be in herx from the bee venom? It is still early for me and no coffee....but trad. Chinese medicine guy uses bee venom as part of treatment for Lyme if I remember it correctly. Maybe yahoo search it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopeny Posted July 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 That's a very interesting thought. She is pretty loaded up on abx/supps and almost all better (hope I am not jinxing anything) and I don't see much herx anymore but that is entirely plausible. it has been lyme like. i think i will email our lyme doc to ask, i believe he has spent time with klinghardt who i think uses bee venom. Wow maybe this will help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
