    Do you know what bit/stung her?


    No, and she ate it, so there's no finding out[;)]

    Well, I guess she taught it a lesson didn't she![sm=rotfl.gif]When Buck got stung on the lip and swelled up so bad, we saw it was huge black ground wasp that got him and hubby killed it.  Had never thought of him having a reaction until his face blew up, eyes swelled closed, etc.  Had it not been i got a got long distance phone call, there is a chance we could have lost him.  He was stung just about the time we finished the yard work and was gonna set out fishing.  He was loading the fishing stuff when phone rang, it was an old elm. schol friend and we got to yammering.  Buck came up to me and i almost fainted.  Hung up on June, we rished Buck to vet---and that is when I learned to keep benadryl on hand.

    Ok just re-read the facsinating spider bite article in Homeopathy Today.  It seems LEDUM is overall the choice remedy.
     
    Serveral other choices for diff types of spiders.  I have copied the key points:
     
    LEDUM- if bite wound is cold to the touch
    Loxosceles reclusa - when bit by brown recluse
    Pyrogenium - if red stripe starts moving upward fromt he bite
    Lachesis - wounds that are dardk red, blue, purple, dark bloody pus (black widow and brown recluse)
    Latrodectus hasselto - bite by redback widow spider - dizziness, swelling, intense apin
    Latrodetus mactan - crampong pains fromt hechest to the abdomen- worse from slighest movemetn, anxious and scream with pain
    Apis- often used for bites - tissue is red, hot
    Aconite - extreme fright

    Jennie -- have you tried White Flower Oil or even Peppermint Oil?  They won't kill a migraine but will often calm it (rub just a bit right on the migraine spot and wash hands!).  White Flower oil specifically will kill a migraine for me if I catch it in the aura stage (when you are first getting it).  Will lessen the pain of a migraine tho.
     
    Food diary again?  I can almost promise you there is some *thing* that is exacerbating them for you -- altho can surely be your cycle too.  *sigh* been there done that!  For me it was truly WEIRD stuff ... like preservatives/chemicals in food, sugar, or the wrong combination of stuff like the barometric pressure outdoors, plus my cycle plus just the wrong food. 
     
    Holler if I can help.

    Yep, I have a bottle of white flower oil, and it definitely does help.

    It's the preservatives in foods, I think. I grabbed one of my mom's granola bars, the other morning, and ate it. I read the ingredients that afternoon, like an idiot. It had BHT and TBHQ in it. I also ate at a new resturant in town, so that could have something to do with it.

    I think I'm just going to make everything, from now on. *sigh* It just isn't worth getting sick over.
