i've posted alot on this board. Just wanted to mention bee venom therapy. My uncle has had ms for a while now and has been doing bee venom therapy for the past few years now. leg stiffness, DEPRESSION(big one), hot flashes and many other symptoms are now manageable. He feels great. The only time he leaves the house is weeknights when we go to mosque. He saves all his energy just for those few days. He showers on his own now and before he was afraid he would fall. he Doesn't fall down at all anymore. i think the biggest 'miracle' was after a week on ms, his depression was fading. He used to cry and complain allllll day...and now he's more optimistic and cheery than even myself. I think his optimism is the main thing helping him get through with this.
No more exascerbations (spelling) either...
Bee Venom Therapy also helps many other problems.
Please look into it and share your experiences if you've tried it as well.
thxP)

I don't have MS but I just happened to see this post. I tried bee venom therapy 20 years ago for a severe neck problem and other inflammatory joint disorders. It helped a lot! After the first few treatments I was given my own bees each week (in a jar) to sting myself. I know it probably sounds weird, but after you get over the initial fear it is not really that difficult. I remember that at the time many people with MS were being treated as well with very good results. If you decide to try it make sure you are not allergic. I was also given an antidote I could take for anaphalactic shock as a precaution should a reaction had ever occurred. But no problems at all, nor for others I knew who were also using this therapy.
