Hi all,

I wanted to start my own thread since I started my journey last night with BVT.
Meaning, I finally did my first bee sting!
I will try to post here as often as possible to let you all know how it goes.

My first sting went well in the sense that I did not have a bad reaction to it.
However, and this is probably since I did my first sting on my forearm, but it hurt quite a bit.
I didn't understand, because most videos I've seen, it doesn't really seem to hurt people.
Maybe because of the spot I picked.

And I could have sworn the bee started biting me, which I didn't even know is possible.
But then when I checked my arm, I did indeed have 2 marks, one having a stinger in it, the other one, I don't know what happened. All I know is that his or her head was stuck when I pulled the other side of the body out.

That said, I rather have that pain, than living with lyme.

I feel bad because I let all my other bees die, it took me that long to finally get over the fear.
When I had 1 bee left, I thought to myself, that if I don't do it now, I won't ever do it.
So then I did it. But I feel some guilt for the other bees. I wish I had done it sooner.

That's it for now, thank you all for all your help.

Ok everyone, it's almost exactly a month later.

I'm up to 3 stings 3 times a week = 9 stings a week.

I started doing them on my back now where I'm suppose to be doing them. At first I did them on my arm and leg because I was anxious. I got over that fear though so now I'm using the bees correctly.

Tomorrow will be the first time I do 4 stings.

I've had pretty severe herxes, and hot flashes.

I'm not exactly sure what the hot flashes mean, I find myself taking cold showers just to cool down.

I really think this will eventually get rid of my Lyme disease so I'm going to keep going.

There's a lot of fatigue but I feel that's part of it. It's also my main Lyme symptom; severe fatigue.

way to go rainycloud . Slow and steady wins this race . I welcomed the heat in the winter and remember the eye burning and narcolepsy of herxin but here are encouraging notes from the other side. Make sure to post your progress to the bvt thread please ...cheers

Thank you for sharing RainyCloud! it sounds like the stings are effective given your response. Keep pacing yourself at a level you can manage, slow and steady wins the race as bluelyme mentioned smile
