- I was diagnosed at Georgetown University Hospital in the Spring of 1970 with relapsing/remitting multiple sclerosis.
- Medications given to me included ACTH, Prednisone, Dalmane, Halcion, Valium (40 mgs./day), Seconal, Meprobamate, Dantrium, Dexedrine, Ditropan, Lomotil, Erythromycin, Keflex, Percocet, Bicodin, Tylenol #3, Fiorinal, Morphine, Indomethacin, and Timoptic eye drops.
- The course of my MS worsened until the Spring of 1992 when I experienced my worst exacerbation in terms of duration and resistance to treatment.
- Two courses of high-dose Prednisone tapering over 6 weeks (80mgs. per day on down) did not help.
- Because I would cry "at the drop of a hat", I was given Prozac for depression.
- The medical records read "Wheelchair bound, numb woman with bladder incontinence."
- Bladder surgery was done in March of 1992 but did not prove beneficial.
- Regarding mobility, it read "as if her feet were nailed to the wheelchair. No movement since October, 1991."


- Then, on March 24, 1992, I received my first intentional sting from a honeybee.
- Besides being numb, my skeletal system felt as though it was made of ice.
- Twenty minutes after I received a sting on my left knee, my entire leg no longer felt bone cold. This was a very positive sign to me that there may be something to this bee sting thing.

- I got four more stings that evening and the next day my entire body was no longer cold except for my feet and hands.
- A noticeable increase in energy was evidenced in two days by her being able to stay awake longer throughout the day.
- The hearing in my right ear was lost due to MS, but within two weeks I regained it.
- My husband Ray became so hopeful for me that he bought a beehive, took over stinging me, and I changed his name to Sting Ray!


Although the treatment has not been a cakewalk, its effects have made me a new person. Upon follow-up with my neurologist who had said there was "No hope", he called my name and I walked over to him. However, he did not recognize me because he was EXPECTING A CRIPPLE IN A WHEELCHAIR!
