Does anyone out there have experience with bee venom therapy while still taking Avonex? I've been researching this online and I've talked to a couple of people who use bee venom, but none with MS. Here's what I saw online:
Q: Can I do BVT in conjunction with taking conventional medications for MS?
A: Any medication will most likely slow the benefits seen using BVT. However, if you are taking a medication that cannot be stopped, BVT can still be used. If you are taking a beta-blocker, ask for another medication that is not a beta-blocker.
I also read a story that a woman stopped taking Avonex to do BVT and she relapsed and she's now in a wheelchair...
I'm researching for my mom, who for one thing, is petrified of bees and for another thing, doesn't really know how to do research online. I thank you for any help you folks can offer!
