Hi Whit I spoke too soon because everywhere I go there are wasps! wasps! wasps! - YUK! Yes, I do believe that certain people smell more attractive to wasps...
For sure David and Whit. I believe without a doubt that we have a pheromone issue both before and after the therapy. I was wondering ( at first joking) if...

That's the spirit Whit ! Just jump right in. You can do it. Truly the other side of the tunnel is better. Still spooky, but better. So.........when is that...
I'm sorry if I misled you. Jake's reaction did not go into anaphylaxis. The doctors called it a local reaction. But, they credit the epi pen with stopping...
Colette, First and foremost I am glad your grandson is alright. Thanks for sharing your incident. I am so scared of a reaction, should I get stung again, but I...
Cheers Debbie, I go for my shots tomorrow also. Too bad you don't live near here we could "bee" together to during our misery( ok that was a bad joke :) ). As...
Hey Debbie! When is the appt.?....Well, I haven't made one yet. I'm concerned about starting right now with the kids home from school. I wouldn't be able to...

Sarah, Thanks for the welcome. Yes, tomorrow is the day. I am retired from the US Air Force and thank God for Tricare Prime or I would not be getting the ...
Hi Phil, Debbie, Whit, David, Colette, et al, I have to say that you are all the stars and not me - I think that each one of us has had to go through a trauma...
Well I am from the UK which is part of Europe (but still very independent and on the whole reluctant to be part of the European Community!) and I have never...
Thank you Colette for clarifying matters - I will try and find out more about using epipens prior to anaphylaxis setting in. I know that it can remedy...
Whilst immunotherapy does not guarantee 100% protection it is pretty effective and I would hope that Jake is pretty well protected now. However, hope is just...
Welcome to the group Phillip! Colette.. your account of your grandson's sting brought all the fear back to me when my daughter was bitten. How scary! I am...
