Hi Stan,
It was about a year ago in the spring, and my MS was really getting me down. I was desperate to try anything to recover, and at the time, the Rebif that I was taking didn't seem to be helping my situation any. I was walking very slowly, and both of my hands had curled up, and were difficult to use. I am an artist, so poorly functioning hands were devistating to me.

I had seen on the internet, several people stinging themselves with bees, claiming that it was the "cure" for multiple sclerosis. Many of them were jumping and running around as if they had never been sick at all. I was more than jealous. I had to try it.

A few weeks later, I found a bees nest in my garden. "Hmm.. this could be my gateway to recovery" I thought to myself. All that I needed to do was get them to sting me. I quickly thought up a plan. After grabbing a very loud air horn, and my camera of course, I headed out to the bee hive, thinking to myself that a cure was right around the corner. I walked slowly to the bees nest, a bit hesitant, nervous about what it would feel like to be stung. I had never been stung by a bee before. I thought to myself.. "well, there's a first time for everything", and blasted the horn right into the hive.

The bees came flying out of the hive, angry, and came rushing right toward me. I think I did a good job aggitating them because I got my first sting within a few seconds. A few more followed. It was quite painful, but I managed to grab my camera and start snapping photographs to take my mind off of the pain. The one blurry photograph that I got was of a bee, right as it was about to sting me. When I was done taking photographs, I headed indoors, in pain, with large welts forming on various parts of my body. It didn't matter to me.
I was convinced that this would "cure" me. I can't believe I was so foolish.

The next day, I was covered with welts, and felt horrible. I had really bad fatigue, and my arms and legs were going more numb than before. My symptoms continued getting worse for about 3 weeks, and by the end of the month, I finally began to recover. It turns out that the bee stings flaired me up pretty badly. So much for that "miracle cure". I'm never doing anything that stupid again.

Here is a link to the story that I read about bee stings Stan:
