  3. Apitherapy Supplements like our royal jelly, bee propolis, bee pollen, honey, and/or Apitherapy Capsules.

Additional Materials Needed for Morgellons

  1. One Blade Electric Razor - for frequent **behind the ear sessions

 

How to decrease the pain from bee venom injections 

  • **Use an apitherapy cleanser a minimum of 2 times weekly, head to toe, and on your ears. E.g Megan’s Miracle Apitherapy Cleansers with buckwheat honey, royal jelly, propolis, bee pollen, and 0.5%+ honeybee venom or more. 
  • **Use an electric shower brush with your apitherapy cleanser on the backside of each ear, for 5 to 10 minutes a minimum of 1 time a week. If you can spend  more time doing this, you should. 

Pro Tip: It is not necessary to press down or apply any pressure to the back of the ear when using your shower brush. The bristles should lightly brush over the skin on the back of the ear. 

You should not feel any pain while doing your ear soaping sessions. If irritation occurs from the friction, try moving the brush so it is angled differently or resting on a different area of the ear. And, keep the brush super wet with lots of soap to decrease friction. 

  • **Decrease the potency of your venom solution and filter it a second time using our accessory kit here 
  • Apply apitherapy moisturizers, serums, and/or conditioners to problem areas of the skin with warm water, at the injection site immediately following your injections. E.g Megan’s Miracle Apitherapy Moisturizers with buckwheat honey, royal jelly, propolis, bee pollen, and bee venom
  • Take daily apitherapy supplements with propolis, royal jelly, bee pollen, and buckwheat honey. E.g Megan’s Miracle Apitherapy Supplements
  • Use raw royal jelly to brush your teeth 1 to 3 times a week or more often.
  • Irrigate your ears to clean debris and ear wax out of the inside of your ears up to 1 time a week. 

Interesting Fact: Lidocaine and various other anesthetics or numbing agents do not help with pain or help numb the areas where venom is administered into the skin.

  • Use an ice pack to numb the area for 5 to 10 minutes before administering the venom into the skin. 
  • Apply an ice pack to the injection site immediately following your treatment. 
  • **Immediately following your injections, make sure you are up and moving around for a minimum of 10 minutes before sitting down. 
  • Practice regular stretching exercises for a minimum of 10 minutes before your injections. 
  • Insert the needle at a 45 degree angle
  • Rotate injection sites frequently
  • Exercise often
  • Eat a healthy balanced diet 
  • Monitor & maintain optimal hormone levels
  • Take notes on which injection site locations cause more pain and stay clear of these areas until the body has time to adjust to regular venom treatments.
  • **Do not take antihistamines (unless absolutely necessary)  as these types of medications may hinder your venom treatments less effective, causing more pain in the long run.
  • Relax the muscles and do not tense up before inserting the needle into the skin.
  • **Do not take any steroid medication (unless absolutely necessary) as these types of medications may hinder your venom treatments less effective, causing more pain in the long run.
  • Take anti-inflammatory over the counter or natural remedies like motrin to decrease pain & swelling
  • Follow a low mold diet (anti-inflammatory)
  • Use a vibration and/or frequency device for 5 to 10 minutes like a tens unit before and after administering your injections
  • **Practice regular skin exfoliation and body hair removal using an electric razor
  • Always use the right size needle to administer your subcutaneous injections: 31 Gauge needle with a 3CC to 10CC syringe like these syringes on amazon here

Pro tip: If 31G syringes are unavailable in your area, you may use 30G needles as necessary. The higher the gauge, the smaller the needle.

How to Reduce Subcutaneous Injection Pain

Let's face it: Nobody likes getting injections and doing it yourself can be even tougher. The fear of pain and the sight of a needle, no matter how small, can be intimidating for many people. If you are undergoing treatment for Morgellons, you will likely have to give yourself daily injections, eventually. With some prior knowledge and practice, your injections can be made a lot easier.

This article offers a few tips to reduce the pain associated with subcutaneous injections.

Numb the Injection Site

Ice cubes

If you are prone to bruising and pain, you can use an ice pack to numb the skin prior to injecting yourself. Limit the ice application to no longer than 15 minutes to avoid frostbite.

We suggest you do not use a numbing agent without first speaking with your doctor.

Recap

You can numb the injection site by applying an ice pack to the skin for no longer than 15 minutes. If that's not enough, ask your doctor about other options. Or, you may need to decrease the strength of your venom solution.
 

Avoid lean areas 

Subcutaneous injections are those delivered in the fatty tissue that lies between the skin and the underlying muscle. Choose a site that has a little extra fat rather than extra-lean parts of the body.

The best sites for subcutaneous injections are those that provide an ample injection site and are well away from joints, nerves, and large blood vessels. These include:

  • The upper outer area of the arm
  • The front and outer sides of the thighs
  • The abdomen (except around the navel)
  • The upper outer area of the buttocks
  • The upper hip

You need to be able to pinch the skin for an ample injections site. If you can't, select another body part.

As with intramuscular injections, try rotating your injection site if you experience pain or bruising.

The best subcutaneous injection sites are in places where the skin is not too lean and are well away from joints, nerves, and large blood vessels (such as the outer arm, thigh, abdomen, upper hip, and upper outer buttocks).

Keep the Goal in Mind

If your daily injections get difficult or tiresome, think about why you are taking the medication. If it is because you are trying to get pregnant or fight a disease (like diabetes or pernicious anemia), keeping the goal in mind may help ease any fear or anxiety you may be experiencing.

Remembering the reason can also help you keep any discomfort you feel in perspective. When it comes to bee venom treatments, remind yourself that the injections are not forever.

By reminding yourself why you need regular injections, you can keep your eye on the goal and reduce stress and anxiety.

Know When to Ask for Help

If you can't inject yourself or are having difficulties with certain injection sites, have someone else administer the shot for you. This can be a partner, spouse, family member, or friend.

Certainly, with intramuscular injections, it is sometimes easier for a partner to inject you, say, in the hip or buttock than for you to do it yourself.

Ensure that you or the person who is administering the shot gets appropriate training from your healthcare provider or another healthcare professional. Learning the correct way to inject yourself can make a big difference between a painful and possibly unsafe injection and a safe, pain-free injection.

It is also important to remember that self-injection is not possible for all people. Don’t beat yourself up about if you can't; many people aren’t able to inject themselves.

If you have a hard time injecting yourself, have a friend or family member do it for you. You can also request a tutorial from your healthcare provider to ensure you are doing the injection correctly.


Summary

To reduce the pain and fear associated with regular injections, try numbing the injection site with ice and/or a numbing cream. Talk with your healthcare provider about the best sites for intramuscular or subcutaneous injections, and rotate the injection site if there is any pain or bruising.

If you have problems injecting yourself, have a friend or family member do it for you.

 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • How do you give an injection without pain?

    There are some tips that can make giving an injection less painful:

    • Allow the medicine to come to room temperature (but do not heat it).
    • Always use a new needle. Used ones are not only unsterile but can be blunt.
    • Position the needle at 90 degrees to the injection site.
    • Stick the needle in quickly.
  • How do you relieve pain after an injection?

    You can relieve pain after an injection by applying a cold compress to the injection site. If the injection is in the arm or leg, keep it moving throughout the day. If the pain is significant, you can take an over-the-counter pain killer like Tylenol (acetaminophen).
