Closing throat, severe swelling, and hypotension. - Page 2

yeesh I was only kidding about torching the bee's.

Sirscrapalot - All your bees belong to us.

I got some advice from a bee keeper & first he said wasps (yellow jackets ) are very aggressive , they are not bees , kill as needed .
He mentioned one reason bees are in decline are the pretreated seeds for food crops , GMO and other terms But Genetically Modified Crops is the name .
the pollen from GMO crops kills the bees ???
You know if this is true I don't want to eat food that kills bees on a molecular level . Ahh what ever were F******
going to scrap yard soon enough

1) My body itches it's horrible it's an itch from the muscles deep usually with a sound from my mouth like Arggergagg
2) my hands are swollen , heck I am all swollen except where it counts. I am one big Itch
3) welts , rashes , pain , mussel cramps
4) flashbacks of original day one symptoms , I got a little concerned was it happening again

I find if I push myself and load weight to truck it helps lessen discomfort , but for now my raw power is not there
I feel like I have a combination of OCD and tourette's - - - Arggergagg mother ******

I hope in the future I can handle one sting like I have in the past 20 nope , but one
thats my new unanswered question .

Epi pen is what I was thinking of in my first post. Couldn't remember the name!

Thanks to all who did. lol.

I have a couple. 2 in the van, 2 in the tool box I take with me just about everywhere. Wife has one in her purse, an I think I have sixth somewhere..lets hope I don't need 6 of them. Since I don't remember where that one is.

An wasn't the demise of the bumble bee due to humans an those 'killer' bees we always hear about? I remember reading once about how the killer bees were also helping to destroy the bumble bee by taking over it' habitat, an killing them when they meet.

I put more blame on humans tho. We're kind of horrible to the world around us. We don't like to admit that, likely cause it's true.

Feel better CopperHead. I think the tourette's part will stick with you for awhile...as in every time you see a bee.

Mrs.Copper - "Oh honey look at the bumble bee way over there!"
Copper - "*&#(#_)_#)@ %^$#$$! %^&%@@~|! bee!



Sirscrapalot - Wishing CH a quick recovery.

Cooper Head - I had a medical problem with very similar symptoms (almost exact same). I was in Paris, France and been there on business. The morning I was scheduled to return home, after a night of heavy drinking and little sleep. I woke up with a killing headache, sicker than a dog (classic hangover I thought). I also had a rash on my chest and neck area. I checked out of hotel, onto airport, a quick flight to London and short wait for non stop to Houston (a nine hour flight). I was in first class so very easy to rest and sleep my hang over off (I thought). I was probably asleep about 5 or 6 hours, when flight attendant awoke me, asking "sir are you alright" Yes I said just need some sleep! She said "you don't look so good" and "I need to keep my eye on you".
I was now completely soaked in sweat, my hands were swollen, little blister like bubbles were braking out all over me. I was hurting all over, I'm thinking is the hang over of all hangovers. When we landed in Houston, flight attended wanted to get me to a doctor. I decided to make a change in my trip and divert to my vacation house in Arkansas. I just wanted peace and quiet, nothing better than rural Arkansas for that! So against the flight attendant advice, and all others I encounter, I press on (in great discomfort now!). I catch a commuter to Shreveport, rent a car and start the 2 1/2 hour drive to my Arkansas, retreat on the lake. Now in a car and alone, start to realize I'm really hurting and this not a hang over. My eyes are starting to swell shut, my skin is red, I now have big blisters all over my body. Each mile gets harder and harder, can hardly see and start feeling I'm going to pass out. I don't know how, but I made it to the only town (of any size) near my place. I decided to get a hotel room, I knew I was to sick to be any place by myself. I go into the hotel lobby, a place I have stayed many times, almost everybody in this town knows me. The lady at the desk knows me very well (went to High School together). I say "hey can you get me a room". She said "No but I'll get you a doctor" and "You look like $hit". She called the hotel maintenance man, he drove me straight to the hospital. The doctor almost immediately diagnosed that my body was going into shock. I honestly don't remember much of the next two hours. When I recovered, about two hours, I was 100% good to go, I wanted to leave, but they were having none of that. I spent that night in the hospital, for continuous monitoring. The next morning I saw the doctor who treated me. He told me I had Toxic Shock Syndrome, something had entered my body and my body reacted to it. Until that morning he new nothing about me or where I had been. After he asked me all kinds of questions, he concluded a Cologne, was more than likely the cause. I had bought a very expensive perfume for my wife in Paris and shop sales lady gave me a complimentary, a brand new, not yet available to public cologne for men. He told me they gave me a shot of steroids and within minutes my body started recovering. Without treatment most people die, as it effects all of your body. One by one your organs start shutting down. He gave me some advice: 1. Listen to your body, you know it better than anybody else. 2. When people are trying to help you, listen to them!

The perfume I bought my wife, was the "envy" of all women. The cologne I never seen a bottle of it again, I threw it away (I think I was a guinea pig).

Cooper Head if your still having a reaction to the stings. I think you should go see another doctor. From my experience and those of others with bee stings, treated you should start recovering fairly quick. For sure take it serious!

My son hit a nest of ground bees with the mower about 2 years back, got nailed about 5 times and started breaking out in hives and feeling not so hot afterwards.

Gave him a dose of Benadryl and took him in...he was put on steroids (Prednisone) for a week and given an epi-pen after I requested it.

Your reaction might have been just due to the number of stings you received, but maybe not. If they don't offer an epi-pen...ask. Good to have one, just in case.

Epi-pens are great life saving tools. My wife carries them with her as she is very allergic to stings. However a word of caution. If you are in a place where you cannot get to the hospital quickly, carry two pens. If you need to use one, go immediately to the hospital as they are intended as an emergency temporary life saving device to be followed up with regular medical care. Hence the reason for the second pen, should the first wear off before you reach the hospital...
