I am an AS patient. I had 16 infussions of Enbrel 50mg in ten months. But my pain was on in two months after the last infusion. I did lost hope. I got an information that the bee keeper does not develop Autoimmune Desiease in a program in National Geography TV. I tried bee sting and in two almost 45 days of sting my pain was gone. I started normal life, riding bike again after a gap of two years. Now I am almost Ok till last week, when I started to feel an pain in my neck, which is mild but consistent. Now I am in enxiety. I have started again bee sting for last week, and waiting for the pain to vanish. But it is still on. The pain is not exactly over spine, its left side of the neck. 1. Is it may related to AS? 2. Is there any trigger food which can cause inflammation in AS patient? Saeed Zakir Husaien 19, Ganesh MAndir Path, Noonmati, Guwahati 781020 Assam, India
Hello, Bee stings are quite variable. I wouldn't be surprised if there is some difference in their effect each time they are given and it ight take more sometimes or even more every time it is tried. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
