does anyone have any experience with bee venom treatments for arthiritis? i was stung a few days ago with three yellow jackets and i notice that since , i have had a big reduction in pain. is this a coincidence or is there something to this and do doctors treat with bee venom in the u.s.?http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=50602

Use your favourite search engine and you will find literally hundreds of sites discussing apitherapy. However, most, if not all, of the sites focus on honey bees. contact two or three of the proponents and ask about yellow jacket venom.

thanks for the links..........my mother had rheumatoid arthiritis, and i thought i had a free pass until now, in my 70's. but i remember her saying she had heard of people with ra, who had bees on their arms stinging them to help alleviate the pain and swelling. i never thought anymore of it until i discovered, i could bend my knees and then could touch my toes, three days after the stinging. i am sure it wont last, but wow, where can i get some bees and or injections, i think it works.........i will gladly be a guinea pig. .this has been a big relief for me, unmistakable something is going on. not all the pain is gone, but now i can maneuver quite well , without the stabs of pain.........that make me grunt and squeak.
