ok by the way she's been biting since before she got declawed. Also she'll come & bite out of nowhere, i'll be watching tv or something & out of the blue she comes up & bites me. I've yelled NO!!! numerous times....nothing works.

was she declawed?? declawed cats typically become nervous biters and there is nothing you can do.. the declaw affected her mentally and punishing her for that is simply wrong...
if her bites are play then as soon as she bites you simply get up and walk away - soon she will learn that biting ends play time...

Don't be near her mouth. Hitting her, shoving lemon in her mouth, and other abusive tactics won't help. They'll cause the cat to fear *you*. A squirt of water and a firm "NO" may help, but the best solution is to not let the opportunity present itself.
Edit: So let's see, you hit (tap) the cat, yell at it, force lemon into it's mouth, and it's declawed. Ugh. This really upsets me. I don't really know that you should have a cat at this point.
If your cat is coming up out of nowhere and biting you, and it's not vicious, chances are it's trying to play with you. Cats do that. If it's vicious, bring the cat to a good vet to rule out any medical issues. And stop hitting it, yelling at it, and shoving things in his mouth. Some cats become aggressive after declawing, aside from it just being outright cruel, it's one of the main reasons that declawing is not a good choice.

some cats do not like you to pet them below their neck area you probably have that kind of cat. They will bite if you go below that area. Sometimes cats will play bite especially if your cat does not have a mate, while it is not very pleasant keep your hand still and your cat will release your hand, start moving it around to get it out of its mouth and the cat will chomp harder. Pet your cat only on the head area and it might solve the problem. Cats do not learn from negative reinforcement so punishing your cat is not going to do anything.

When my cat bites me I bite him back. He usually just looks at me funny.

You can't. Shes a biter and will be untill she decides to stop on her own.
