View Full Version : Does anyone have "bee stings"?

I have problems with something like "bee stings" all over my body. They don't happen all at once, just might be my hands, fingers, feet, legs, neck, stomach. Like a bee just made a "bee line" down and stung me!

Is that part of ALS? If so, I am already tired of it!!!!:???:

Deborah,
I have it too; I usually descibe that is a small electric shock. I was told that it's a part of the ALS package. This package is getting to be heavy to carry around.
Going back to the subject; I had some relief with massage therapy. Erica

No not like pins and needles. A real bee sting of a feeling, like having a hot needle stabbed deep into you, no :matter where - neck, leg, shoulder, anywhere. I have been meaning to ask aobut it so glad you did, Deborah

Just lately, yes, I will get a sharp pain and wonder,what the heck was that. Mine don't last long at all but really hurt when it happens and it can be anywhere???Hands and my sides mostly... At least i know I'm still alive. It is like a shock..lol Hugs, to all those having the shock treatment.... L

Well I seriously thought this was a thread on teeny breasts! Isn't that what we used to call them? bee-stings or mosquito-bites? Good for a chuckle, but I am sorry for what you all are experiencing. Sounds awful!

I can hardly wait to see what those NAUGHTY boys will put on here when they see this post-I bet it will be worth the wait. Glen, Barry, Peter, Kim....where are you silver tongued devils??!!

Lydia,

Freudian slip?
Are you preoccupied , that every time you read about someones discomfort , you think "hmmph she has nice ones - try not having any cleavage" ?
Were you the one in high-school that had the "surfboard" nickname ?
A good plastic surgeon can help you to go from training to double dees.


Deborah,

I get them on my calf muscles, and will think it is a sting or a bite. Thankfully, it only last a couple of seconds.
As to why it happens or what to do to when it happens, I found a picture to help you through this.

since you insist.

why pick on the B it hasnt done any harm to any body and the A is upset that he wasnt used first.:lol:

Lydia, you are correct, though from my observations over many years the trend seems to be heading away from that:wink::wink:

Seriously though it sounds painfull.
Several years ago I disturbed a nest af them and recieved about 10 or 15 stings so I know what you are feeling. They made me break out in a sweat and feel sick for a while.
Lucky then I could still move quickly and got away from them. Went back that night and fixed them up.


And no, I dont get them now, nor do I want to.

cheers
Peter

just for the info, I have HUGE breasts and being in a wheelchair suits them just fine as they rest softly in my lap;-)

Irismarie,

Those are called lap puppies :)

Back to the original question... I get those from time to time. Never mentioned it to my neuro. Quick little zaps that hurt like heck.

GlenBrittle
02-28-2010, 11:03 AM
I feel it needs clarification.

Those lap puppies are the hairless ones - correct?

A person could get into trouble saying "Aren't you cute" and petting them.

One more question - do you name them?

Like "this one is called Chico and that one is called Ernie"

Glad that the Olympics are over (and what a finish) so that we can channel Glen's creative juices (eeww!) into something like the follies!

WOOF!

I don't see Glen letting this thread go :)

Oh , I had an idea for the follies. This will take some work on your part. Create a story of pictures. these pictures when spoken correctly will tell that story.

So , the first part is the hard part . Prepare a story made from pictures. Once ready you will need to post them in order so that everyone else can decode/guess what the story is.

Of course there could be people that {{looks over both shoulders}} that will pervert the story, not caring what the true meaning is.

We will need at least 4 or 5 people to create these pictorial stories.

Good Luck

Glen

Wow Glen, that looks like fun and a lot of work too. You gonna start us off? How would it work, you would post them one at a time and we would make up/decode the story as you release them? And we could steer the ship onto the rocks with our own pictures?

I was thinking the complete pictorial would be posted in a couple of posts. I would not anyone to be sitting and waiting for the next picture.

I will be in there with my story / phrase / limerick , we need multiple stories to be posted at one time.

Also , no 3 word stories - to be entertaining , it should make you think a bit.

The pictures must be something that children can look at.

Good Luck - story telling starts Friday evening (earlier if you are across the pond or down under)

...AND I misspelled his name, oh well. It was a great game. I lived in Pittsburgh (where Canadian Sydney Crosby plays center for the Pens) during the Mario Lemieux heyday, and paid $$$ for one of my sons to take a hockey camp that Mario was supposed to lead. He showed up once. But, there were others from the team there that were terrific with the kids.

Yeah, I like the Follies idea. Maybe a more in depth description and some ground rules??? (unless there are no ground rules)
