The worst thing about this no one can really understand what you really going through. Update:- i am almost cured now...now i just feel a very mild itch that too rarely. (i just suffered through it... just try to ease into that horrible sensation)
Mine started today and it's killing me. Met with my doctor and he prescribed Fexofenadine, and Dermacool cream to help with the itching. Unfortunately, it only alleviated a little but the itching seems worse now. I am confused

Soak your feet in warm water get a foot bath or just use something that can cover your feet.. Soak in salt water or dawn soap water.. 30 to a hour twice a day get rid of fungus in nails and between toes. Soak and relax also do research on why you should soak feet and how it connects with skin and nerves
I think this highlights a huge flaw in the NHS, where doctors just guess and send you away with some drugs, and if they get it wrong you have to diagnose yourself, then convince the doctor and then get out on a waiting list for something they should have diagnosed and treated in a week.
This video has helped me so much! Ive just been crying because I felt like no one understands what I’m going through and when I can’t make my work my family get mad at me and it’s horrible. I’ve had this on and off since 2011 and it keeps coming back and lasting months if not years at a time. I’ve lost two jobs because of this and I’ve just started a new job this year and I’m scared of losing it. I’m going to the doctors today and mentioning this because ive tried the diets, tablets, herbals etc and nothing has worked. Thank you so much for making this. I’ve just showed my mum and for the first time feel like she properly understands what I’m going through.
Hi Natalie, Im so pleased this video gave you some help! its very hard for people that don't have this condition to understand how it feels. I hope this gives you some information and you can get some help! Keep in touch x
Sonja Sleator I went to the doctors today and my dermatologist appointment has been pushed forward and they are asking dermatology to put me forward for the jags! I really hope this works for me had chronic idiopathic urticaria for years and this might just be my solution. I’m from Scotland so getting it through the nhs too. Just want to say thank you again for all your help if you hadn’t been open about this and shared it on RUclips I wouldn’t have probably found out about these jags x
Not a problem! If your Dermatologist does not put you through then speak to a immunologist because it was that style of Dr who was my only help! Its great that you will be able to get this on the NHS like myself! And your more than welcome for the video. I had never seen or heard of anything like this before I got it so I just wanted to try and give the information I got for this to other people to help :) xx
I am glad i watched this video I live in ghana and i have been experiencing series of breakouts Its such a painful experience My first breakout was in high school it lasted for about a yr and half n den 6 yrs later i get anoda breakout n its like the worst ever I am certain that its probably an immune system disorder cuz every allergy panel test i did came out negative My antihistamines tabs aren't working hydrocortisone injections lasts for jux 24 hrs i dont know what to do again N i dont know if these shots u take are available in my country
Been dealing with ICU for 2 years now it’s absolutely tearing my life apart. I get them every night and it stops me from hanging out with my friends I’m living my life around this disease and have found no cure people just don’t understand how crippling this really is
@@degenerals6127 my doctor was able to put me on a bunch of medications to manage it. I’m able to live normally now but I still live in fear that it might pop up out of nowhere
Oh, sweetheart, I am so sorry you had had to go through this! I am having a similar problem but not at all as severe. My heart goes out to you and you are extremely generous and kind to do this to help others. Wishing you ever-increasing radiant health! Much love to you...
You have just described the past 9 years of my life. The allergy clinic told me there was no point in anymore tests, they couldn't help me. I'm very happy I found this video. I'm saving it so I can ask my doctor if this is available for me.
Have you ever had any of your lymph nodes swell up due to this. I have swollen lymph nodes in my neck and it causing the right side of my face to hurt. I also have pain behind my right eye.
Tierra Green yes! My very first instance involved one of my lymph nodes being so swollen that it was bulging out of my neck. The doctors said it was because I still have my tonsils and apparently my tonsils are huge and tend to hold onto bacteria :/ I was going to get them taken out, but luckily the lymph nodes haven’t been an issue again for me, just the swollen puffy eyes and hives.
I feel for everyone who suffers with this! I'll never forget my very first attack, I had all the itching but no hives which lasted for about 3 months. It felt like little bugs crawling under my skin. It drove me insane until one day it just went away. Then 2 years later, I got the hives again. It lasted 3 months, then went away. This happened a few more times. Then After 10 years of no hives. They came back. By then, I had narrowed it down to 2 suspects. Chinese food or popcorn. So I did a test. I made some popcorn and guess what, 4 days after I ate the popcorn, I got the hives. The reason I cold never figure it out before because it took 4 days for the hives to start which by then I usually had forgotten what I had to eat. I am writing this now because I had been free of it for quite a while until I accidentally ate some rice cakes which had corn kernels it. So here I am again. Also, regular corn doesn't affect me like popcorn. It has something to do with the corn kernels. Crazy itching mad it makes you!
unfortunately Chronic Idipopathic Urticaria are not always due to allergies but the immune system attacking itself, my Urticaria can last for 10 years and then dissapear and come back.
Mine has started now I'm only 14 years old I can't even sleep I'm really sad😔😔 I can't go to school for a week,my exams are starting😖plsss pray for me🙇🙇🙇
Thank you so much. My poor dad is struggling every day been like this for about 2/3 years yours is legitimately the same lips swelling,eyes and skin blotches. I am going to get him to mention the injections at the hospital and hopefully this gets sorted. Your honestly one of the first people and videos that I have found some help with. Thank you. Mark x
mark watts Hi Mark! I'm so glad this video was able to help you! The injections have done wonders for me! I really hope they help your dad too! Let me know how you get on xx
mark watts I have had chronic hives for 4 months again I sought treatment from a Chinese medicine doctor. I had it two years ago for 6months before and my Chinese doctor got rid of it. I can tell u why it's happening. It makes complete sense. My body had trapped blood that was not moving to my liver. As u know the liver filters clean blood. My doctor used acupuncture herbs and needle cupping to get that blocked toxic blood to go to my liver. Also the reason why the body is releasing histamines is because it's telling u some toxic blood in your body shouldn't be there. Trust me I've been three weeks going to the doctor and I finally have my life back. It's called blood stagnation in Chinese medicine. Seek out a Chinese doctor only. Not a naturopath I tried before and got no relie
Thanks for the Video clip! Sorry for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you tried - Trentvorty Urticaria Victory Theorem (should be on google have a look)? It is a great one off product for curing hives without the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my m8 finally got excellent success with it.
I tried to look that up on google but its asking me to join something on the website... Thankfully im still in the clear zone with it after my injections so fingers crossed I stay this way :)
After going through comments, I have realized that I am not only the one suffering from chronic urticaria. I am finishing more than 5 years suffering from the same sickness. I never get a break on itches. I tried many different medical drugs, but nothing worked. I would love to see your prescription so that I can use the same drugs. I will be waiting for the response of how I can manage this sickness. Thanks,
Bahati Musuhuke try seeing an immunologist! I’ve been to GP’s, dermatologists, etc but nothing.. I went to see an immunologist and he prescribed me with Montelukast and Plaquenil which help most people with CSU, but neither worked for me. Now I am about to start the Xolair injection, which I’ve seen has helped so many people, so I would definitely recommend seeing an immunologist. I’ve had this for 15 years and finally just got told a “cure” for it.
The main thing this affects me with is school. Makes going so difficult. I try to email professors and take the exams but when you're not there learning stuff it is harder. Plus constantly calling in to work sucks I got fired twice now because I was doing customer service and I get it really bad on my face (eyes swell up) and after constant calling in (because they didnt want be scaring customers) I got fired. Now I suffer from depression and anxiety even when I get breaks and they go away for a few weeks, because I know it isn't over and its already caused a lot of failure in me. Really sucks. Plus a lot of people think its disgusting when I go out in public anyways because once again its all over my face neck and arms really visible. Lastly I feel like it makes me get sick a lot more because my body and brain is tired of it and my immune system is in overdrive so I get the cold once every few months. Had this for six years. Longest break in the hives was like 4 months and I felt amazing but now they've been back and with force. Oh well.
My uticaria started at around age 9. At one point mine was just as crippling as described in this video. I'm 43 now. I have identified what causes mine and do not take any drugs to control the hives. I live hive free most of the time with only occasional issues. I am allergic to all types of meat. If I eat meat my body will react with uticaria starting a few hours afterwards and lasts up to six weeks. Cross contamination gives me scratch uticaria that lasts a few days. I can eat eggs and cheese with no issues. As long as I avoid all meat I have no uticaria. Since I have to avoid most processed food anyway I also avoid preservatives. I make most of my own food to avoid cross contamination. I eat salads legumes and fruit. I do not take any drugs at all. I can often tell if a food is cross contaminated after just a few bites because my mouth starts itching and then my throat and chest later my stomach will itch. It was hard to figure out because the effects last for up to 6 weeks from last exposure and meat is in all types of products including canned vegetables and many dry goods.
For example I can eat McDonald's fries 🍟. But if I go most other places that use the fryer for chicken nuggets as well if I eat fries there I get cross contamination. Same as veggie burgers cooked in the grease from beef burgers. It only takes a small amount of meat to give me uticaria. Another example is pizza. I get a veggie or cheese pizza but they use the same knife they use on the meat lovers pizza and did not clean the cutter. Or at subway the same thing happens when they cut the sandwich in half. If I get them to use a clean knife I don't get the uticaria. Another example is at a salid bar sometimes people use the same utensil they picked up the ham with to grab something else or some of the meat gets in the other containers. Does it make sense now what I mean by cross contamination?
Hello Sonja. Just want to say what an excellent job you did on this presentation. You were articulate, clear, extremely well prepared as well as personable. I trust you are still doing well. And many kudos to your lovely family and boyfriend for getting you through this horrible experience. You are very fortunate. Best, bk
I hate this condition so much. I've been hospitalised by it and yet still my doctor just basically says "live with it" It's destroying my life :( glad there's someone else with it out there, thankyou for sharing your story. It makes me feel less alone
go to a new doctor. My first allergist told me also well its not dangerous and I just had to live with it and gave me steriods. I went to a new allergist and he put me on Xolair injections which have helped me so much.
Hi! So sorry to hear about your struggles. I am also dealing with Urticaria since September this year. I am practicing varun mudra drawing from Indian yogic tradition which is helping me a lot with the disease. Mudras are hand postures which balance various elements in our body. Varun mudra cures all skin issues. I am also practicing yoga especially pranayama or breathing exercises which is also helping immensely. If you apply coconut oil with camphor on the hives, it reduces itching also.
Hi Monisha, can we connect please? Do you mind sharing the details of your yoga teacher and the tips you're following to cure from this nasty disease. I'm suffering horribly and it's affecting my daily quality of life, can't live like this anymore 😢
Girl, I feel you!! I have horrible urticaria exactly like you describe, with itching, BURNING skin all over my body, and sometimes my lips and eyes swell up like that too. It is the most awful torture. I have tried SO many different things (antihistamines do nothing), Prednisone does help but it destroys my blood sugars (Type 1 diabetic).
I have ideopathic urticaria induced by sweat. It’s been crippling, but I can’t possibly imagine what you’ve gone through. Here’s hoping we find a way to let people know about this disease and get doctors to research and cure it.
I have had chronic urticaria for 9 years now, which is quite uncommon but not unheard of. I’m currently 16 and I’m taking my a levels. The type of chronic urticaria that I have is mainly brought on by stress but it’s always there. I can actually write on my skin which is quite weird and I also get hives. I have an eppi pen as over the last year my neck and mouth has started swelling when I get rlly stressed. I have tried everything, juicing, all sorts of medication that stops me sleeping and sends me loopy and now I’m on a sugar free diet which is very difficult. I’ve not tried the injections yet because I’m just trying to get rid of it naturally as best I can because I’m so afraid of needles 😂. It’s not easy but we have to deal with it I guess 🤷♀️
I’m dealing with exercise induced urticaria currently. I’m 3 weeks into the Montelukast and haven’t seen any difference yet. Really appreciate this video, I’m finding it really tough, but you had it even worse! So glad to see you made it through, I was struggling to find much hope anywhere else online. Thanks again!
Did it help you? I had urticaria for working out for 4 years now, I used to be quite active so I am really missing my old life. Did Montelukast help you? I tried dietry and homopatic medicine + acupuncture but it is not working for me. Hoping for reply as I am getting quite desperate. Best regards Sara
i think it has a lot to do with food, toxins that we consume.@@AntoniaSara all processed food need to be eliminated, food addictives, only eat self made food, , and need to be wise with food choices
@@AntoniaSara I know this is an old comment, but if you're still waiting for an answer, I was put on montelukast about 5 months ago for exercise urticaria. I still need to take antihistamines before an intense workout, but the flares don't push through the antihistamines any more since starting montelukast, and I'm not using antihistamines throughout the day. It worked wonders for me, but everyone's biology is a bit different, so it worked for me, might not work for you. I would say trying it is in general not a bad idea, just watch out for some of the side effects that can happen.
How are you now, dear? Thank you for this video. I am breaking out exactly the same way as you have! I hope I can ask my doctor for the injections. I am in tears. Seemed like you just narrated my life!
Thankfully at the moment I am still doing okay and im just hoping every day that It stays away. It such an awful thing to go through! I hope you are doing okay xx
I had this since the age of 10 onwards to 16. One day it just stopped and disappeared. Turning 19 this year, and not too long ago it randomly returned. It’s back to ruin my life again! I’m so sick of this!
Oh no thats awful! Its so scary! Mine has still stayed away, but any time i feel an itch or something it really makes me panic! When / if my hies return id be so sad x
I’m so tired i got cholinergic urticaria for almost 2 years now i locked myself in the house losing my social life nobody understands how hard it is to deal with this it really impacts your life and i wish this upon nobody i just really be abusing drugs the only thing i feel that helps me right now 😞
Sorry to hear that many are experiencing this. In my case Telfast helps a lot (once a day or every 12 hours when it is severe), and also exercise helps a lot. Once you start exercising the itching gets really bad but if you wait it through, it feels like my daily dosage of histamine is consumed and I don't get hives or feel itchy for the rest of the day.
Hi guys i will tell u how i cured my extreme cholinergic urticaria in 4 days. I was in a condition where i would get itching and hives whenever sunlight touches the skin, it became worse. I did my research then i found that impure blood is a main reason. Here is the cure that worked for me. 1)I ate aloevera(1 small slice) in empty stomach followed by turmeric(half tea spoon more than enough) milk in morning for 3 days. 2)on the 3rd i still got itch and hives but not severe so i thought of speeding up the purification process on 4th day i drank 5 to 6 litres(1hour - 300ml-400ml) Surprisingly on 5th day it just vanished that is reduced to 5%. Note:Anti histamines worked fine but once i stopped it came back.
@@ganishkarthoughts4158 only sunlight? Then its not colinergic urticaria.I get hives while taking a shower,running, and any activity that raises my body temperature instantly.
Sonja thank you so much for this video. I’m currently covered in Calamine lotion. Been battling this for about a 10 years on and off. It would happen every few years and when it does it comes for 5/6 months and also lip swelling but never eyes or face hives. Thank you for the info on the injections. I going to see a dermatologist in 1 month and will request the Xolair injections and change in meds as the normal Piriton isn’t working at all
I’ve been living with chronic hives for 8 years. Mine are no where NEAR as severe as yours, mine are controlled with a pill of levocitirizine a day. So glad you were able to find a solution! 💓💓💓
So sorry to hear this and to all sufferers. I used to have it and it got worst and swollen after I gave birth. Could feel burning hot swelling and itching affecting my sleep. Had it for over 2 years until I found out I had cancer. Change my dietary ( juicing and plant based and no sugar) within 2 months its gone...like finally I was relieved from it.Sleep early n enough sleep is important. Eat clean and meditate to minimise stress. Not only that my hives were gone, no more inflammation , lose weight, better skin and I'm truly grateful for my health now. Love and light to all 💙
@@arushWsigma Rabi, need to work on the inside. I turn to juicing ( veg now fruits) detox, took certain supplements recommended by nutritionist. Meditation and eating organic. Our mind can heal our body. I do grounding and try to sleep early. I pray for you and every sufferers to heal soon 🙏
Also no sugar, gluten and eat less carbs and fasting. Pls do it for 2 mths to see the difference. And try to keep a healthy lifestyle. Stay active and for 8 mths I quit coffee too.
I was literally sobbing during the entire video (which now makes my mouth swell - a little gift from angioedema - and I'm not sure if it makes my throat swell too, my body have been doing strange things, what can I say?). I have been 1 year and 5 months with urticaria and angioedema, I tried diets, I take all the medicines every day, I have to carry medicines with me always, because I can swell and be short of breath and it has been so exhausting. The feeling of not knowing whether my throat is swelling or not, whether I should take the emergency medicines or not is so stressful. It's too strange not to know if I'm going to be free of it someday, no matter how hard I try and do everything to be okay I don't know if my life will return to normal or if this is my normal now.
I’m writing this to help if someone has same problem as me. I started to itch on my legs months ago and I thought it would go away but it got worse. I couldn’t think what was causing. I keep taking Benadryl and it would come back. Finally a friend of mine said what laundry detergent do I use. I had changed my laundry detergent from Tide to Gain and I was shocked when I washed my clothes and bed sheets with sensitive arm and hammer detergent And I’m itch and hives free. Thank God.
Ahhhh I m suffering from hives and I suddenly wake up at middle of night and it's sooo itchy and I tell myself dnt scratch it dnt scratch it but my hands just startso to scratch its like my hands tell my brain scratch only a little....but at the end I scratch it until it bleeds then the itchiness goes away then it starts to burn....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh really irritated..I wish I had my normal life back
I have been living with this since 1999 in the marine corps. Long ruck marches caused my skin to swell for 2-3 days. Today, I am still taking zolar shots every 30 days. If ever I miss a shots appointment, my body on day 32 reverts back to wheels, swollen joints, and under the feet sweal. It sucks! I weighed 165 in 97-2000, 175 when I was Med Boarded out of the Army… everytime I want to work out, I get severe swelling and wheels everywhere. Due to the joint swelling pain, i basically can work out 1-2 times a month… today I way 265, and I seriously want to lose weight, but this uticaria just will not allow me to… doc recently put me on zolar injections and they are expensive, but seem to work great! If I miss a 30 day window, by day 32 i am broken out with wheels, and by 33 swelling starts. It truly is a demotivator for me. The worst part is that coworkers look at me like a leaper! They see how it causes major swelling and wheels on neck, arms, legs, and head…. And many act like it is contagious, even though it is not.
Thanks for sharing your story. I have struggled for 17 years. Yours look exactly like mine. Yes you are 100% that it is an autoimmune condition - we have too much histamine, our bodies think everything is a threat and create white blood cells etc... I have not cured mine. I was living on meds and anti-histamines but I wish to live a life without being dependent on meds. The reality is that this is incurable, there is only temporary relief. I wish you all the best !! I am inspired to share my own story - how I got it, what effects me and how I get by. Thanks
Thank you so so much for allowing me the opportunity to view your video in regards to your story with CSU! He was the first video that popped up that looked genuine, and it will be the last video I watch, because I, too, am looking for at least a remedy, if not a cure for my chronic hives over the past 25 years. my hives are known as CSU chronic spontaneous uriticaria. My hives for no known cause or reason would break out out for no reason at any time of the year. That being said I was in complete disbelief, but not surprised after listening to you. Tell my story yet better than I could ever imagine doing myself. Your story mirrors, mine in all aspects of your journey. Well up until the point where you found a cure or at least I'm more curable and manageable treatment plan then I would have ever been able to do on my own! thank you kindly for the inspiration you've given myself and thousands of others that are in the same situation that have yet to find their cure. I wish you all the best in your journey moving forward. STAY HAPPY, CONTENT & STRONG MINDED!
Thank you for posting this video. It brings a sense of relief knowing Im not the only one. I haven't had it nearly as long (7 weeks & counting). Prior to this I have no known allergies. Antihistamines & changes to my diet have proved futile. After watching this I feel there are still more things out there to try instead of just giving up in despair.
You have no idea how much you have helped us. My Mom developed this after having her second Covid vaccination. She has been on all kinds of medication for 6 months. I sew your video and now the doctor has referred her for these Xolair injections. Here in Canada as a senior we do not pay for medication so Mom will have hers covered. But your video was a godsend. Thank you so much.
I am so pleased to hear that! Thank you for your message it’s so kind ❤️ I really hope the Xolair helps your mum as much as it helped me! I wish you all the luck xxx
I’ve been battling this for almost 6-8 months. I get my shots every three weeks. I really can’t get overheated, I stay indoors because it seems if I work up a sweat, it’ll aggravate the patch of hives that are active at that moment. I was on steroids for a year before I was able to start the injections. It affected my face the most, my skin got red, hot and swollen. I actually peeled. It took me such a long time to get my extremely dry flakey skin back to normal. I can tell where my hives are going to appear because that area will get hot, then I’ll start itching. I now carry an epi pen with me at all times and a cream that helps calm the hives. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I didn’t realize there were so many people with this affliction.
Man.. you really suffered, I’m quite happy you’re back to normal now. I THINK I have urticaria and it’s an interesting cause (extended hot shower caused it). So at the moment I’m about 5 weeks into it and I just get red dots etc when my body gets hot + the insane itching. Cooling it down stops it. But it definitely seems to be an immune thing. To my mind your body perceives ‘x’ as a threat and fights it, in my case any heat (yay for summer). Have not come across these injections before your video, might be my solution too? Cheers for the detailed video.
Hi Sonia! I just wanted to say you’re really pretty & I love your hair. 🥰 I have issues with allergic dermatitis and mast cell activation. Been dealing with it even more this summer from May until now, (it’s horrible to be so itchy - you can’t sleep! 😞) but it’s finally getting better. I hope you are doing well!
Hi blackenddove, thank you for your comment 😊 yes it’s horrible to sleep when you itch. Im doing well thank you, and im glad to hear you are getting there 😊❤️
Hey guys, if you’ve been dealing with this for a while without any noticeable cause , you may have a histamine intolerance which means it could be caused by the foods you eat especially the things we eat everyday like cheese , meat , bananas, dairy products etc. A prick test can also be done to examine if it is the cause of your rashes and hives. Y’all take care!
I have histamine intolerance, but the tests failed to show anything. Keeping a food and symptom journal showed me. I cannot have dairy, fish oil, cured fish, avocado, tomatoes, etc. I found that lemon juice and raw apple cider vinegar are fine for me though. I also found that I have sulfur intolerance -- rutabagas and Brussels sprouts made my skin flare up really bad. Both histamine and sulfur intolerance (overload, really) are caused by certain bad bacteria in the gut. I found this video because now sunflower lecithin made me flare up, and I'm trying to find out why.
After YEARS of dealing with hives and doctors telling me that they had no idea what was causing it, I found one doctor that lead me to know MY problem. I am intolerant to GLUTEN, which is a protein in wheat products. gluten. Now, I do not have celiac disease, I am just intolerant to the gluten and it cause hives, diarrhea and in really bad episodes, swelling of the hands, feet and lots of headaches. -- I can suppress the hives with H1 and H2 blockers, but reducing my Gluten intake was key. I can actually control it now. I have episodes from time to time, but only when I overdo my gluten intake. After about 4-6 weeks I clear up if I reduce or stop eating Gluten. If you eat a lot of wheat products and suffer from hives, you may want to investigate this. It will take several weeks for the gluten to get out of your system, but once it does, you'll feel better. I would consult your doctor about this and do what they say, but try to go to a doctor that believes that gluten can adversely affect you. I found that not all doctors believe that, but for me, I can turn the hives on and off with my gluten intake. - Good luck.
Me and you are similar am from South Frica suffering from this deases and noone knew as you are saying tha Gluten might be the problem, to when i eat brown bread i will experince constipation and lots of funny things now am startinf to experience terriblr headaches and swollen feets and lips. I will stop starting from today
@@lyn-lynladra8355 i’d look into latex allergy, that seems to be my issue, i’ve never had hives in my life and recently i’ve started eating a lot more bananas, apples and peanuts (all latex cross reactive foods) and now i have hives all over my lower legs and hands. I plan to keep all latex reactive foods out of my diet because I’ve recently been eating more of a keto diet (also have added rice so that could be an issue too since i’ve been grain free for the past couple months) but i’m doing a very strict elimination diet and taking it easy with each reintroduction of food. I also have an issue with high histamine food. Ugh wish you all healing and good health! 🙏
I just came across your video. I hot Chronic Hives two years ago for about 7 months. It was awful. Your pictures are exactly what I had. Huge itchy painful burning splotches all over my body. The random swollen body part. My lip once was three size bigger. I would have to go to bed early when friends came to hang out with me and my boyfriend because my face was so swollen. I could barely warm from the hives on my inner thighs to the bottoms of my feet being swollen. One day, it went away. I was so happy. I was taking whatever I could with no help, I stopped taking all the Benadryl type medications, mixed with some stomach acid stuff. which would help sometimes but not others, and I would still get the hives but feel like a zombie. Well, A few days ago, I got them again. Every time I had an itch I would go in full panic mode and check my body. Normally with a sigh of relief that I'm okay. This time, no such luck, my waist was covered once again in the welts. My heart sunk, I can't imagine going through this again. so far it's not as intense as the first time, but it's only been a few days. I've been trying to go the natural route since the medications have so many side effects. I'm trying not to lose all hope, but it's difficult. I've been crying so much the last few days. The only thing that's helping is trying to distract my brain. I'm sitting here watching videos to feel less alone in this situation. I'm drinking a huge glass of warm turmeric and apple cider vinegar water, in hopes it'll help with the inflammation. I guess I'll see. Last night was bad, my entire legs were covered. I slathered myself in coconut oil and watched funny videos with my boyfriend to try to distract myself from crying. ::sigh:: This sucks.
I’m so sorry to hear this. It’s awful so I can totally relate! Watching funny videos or good documentary’s helped Me too. I would also try and sleep in the afternoon to stop myself from scratching. I hope you start to feel better soon. Sending lots of love xx
I just realized I have this. I had a flare up all summer and again in October through now. I get hives from my clothes, from showering, etc and the itching is UNBEARABLE!!! I can’t even do anything until it stops because it’s so intense. I’m glad I figured out what it is though. Also the meds my doctor gave me made me feel like I was having a heart attack and I nearly passed out. Not taking that again
I had an 8 month battle in 2016 that I thought was going to kill me. As a child I had many acute reactions that would close my airway. Steroids were the only option I was given. The urticaria returned ten days ago and it is starting at the same places as before. It is hell. I am happy you are doing better! Thank you!
I’ve been suffering from chronic urticaria for 3 years and i’ve been using antihistamine daily to keep it under control. Mine was triggered with a rare sea animal bite but never stopped. I’ve tried those elimination diets but diets didn’t cure it unfortunately. I’m intolerant to certain kind of food but I’ve seen that food is irrelevant to my urticaria and don’t cure it. I’m still looking for a permanent cure for this.
I started this last summer. I’m not sure if we have the same condition because yours looks more severe, but mine only happens when heat is involved. So when I’m outside, when I work out, and take long hot showers. I went to a dermatologist and they prescribed Zyrtec and it helped with the itch but I still get the rashes. I think I’m gonna look into this and get straight to the point.
Yugis Grandpa yes I have read up on lots of people only getting this when heat is involved. Keep researching and hopefully you will find something that helps that maybe isn't as extreme as getting injections. Good luck!!
I am suffering from same 😭 totally fu#kup 😭 cant do anything 😭 itching alot in warm heat areas cant go outside in sun rashes full body 😭 help me please help me
Ya no hot water it makes i worse... you have to have it lukewarm you have to get in and out no scented or fragrance dye just straight planes organic some type of soap Dove sensitive L Fabric Softener once again no fragrance lotion is I forget what the lotion is called that is unscented
Omg! Thank you so much for this video. I am going through this right now and the doctors don't know how to help me. I am going to try this. I appreciate you!
Just earn a like and a subscribe! Was randomly watching RUclips and figured I'd search to see what others did in reference to hives. WOW...the nail on the head! Mine were the size of dinner plates on my legs and other areas. Took about 6 months for my Primary Care Provider (WITH my suggestions) to see an specialist. I am currently on Xolair and I too am VERY thankful. My only concern is IF the manufacturer ever shuts its doors so to speak...we'll keep this positive though. I just wanted to say thank you for this video. It was seen after I started getting my (now 150cc a month) injections. [b]Dont[/b] miss your appointments, I did just due to a busy life by 2 weeks..."HELLO DARKNESS MY OLD FRIEND". But if you are watching this...talk to your doctor about it. -cheers
I had them for about a year really bad I used different medicines nothing worked till i used Neem tree oil soap for about two weeks. I hope this info will help somebody. what ever the cause was this was the cure.
Jesus I had tree oil so have applied it. I think I got this from having to take antihistamines to stop itching from an attack of scabies. I read that your body actually changes due to loratadine or benadryl so that you get hives and itching when you try to stop them. Talk about a vicious cycle.
Vicki Takacs - I had the same problem with Anti-Histamines... the problem is that most of them also intrrfere with the production of DAO the Histamine downgrading enzyme that helps to keep Histamine in check... so if you already have low levels of DAO and taking an antihistamine this makes your DAO even lower... I weaned myself off antihistamines slowly while trying to boost my DAO and sticking to a low histamine diet... I am now at a point where I have not taken any antihistamines for a year... I can eat most foods and coffee again (yay).... I need to stay well hydrated and I am 90% symptom free.
Thank you so much for this video and information. I’ve had this condition for over 5 years, been on so many different medications, been referred to a dermatologist and all they seem to do is ask me the same questions and put me on different medications. I’m going to put my foot down now and ask for these injections. This condition has made me miserable and has changed my life drastically in a bad way.
most peaple here asked about the name of the injection ; it is called Xolair ( Omalizumab ) but, be cautious and don't use it without doctor's prescription. I hope for you a complete wellness.
Thanks love I know exactly what you are going through because I have been going through this for the past five months and just yesterday I got them under my feet and I couldn't walk it was so painful I was crying just listening to you but the good news is that my specialists has recommended that I should start taking Xolair so hopefully in the next few weeks I'll get the injections, thanks for sharing and God bless.
I had this in 2019. Now I am much better, almost vanished. Take 3 teaspoon of Ghee (clarified butter), 3 teaspoon of light brown sugar and 3 teaspoon of ground pepper powder. Mix it well and eat it around 5pm daily for 2 months. Donot drink water or eat anything for 2 hours after you take the mix. Preferably dont eat or drink 1 hour before you take the above mix. You will start seeing the difference in the first 2 weeks itself. It worked for me.
Hi, I started getting hives in February of the year after being in a major car accident. It started getting worst I’d be out eating and immediately I’ll see the whales coming up. It would get as bad as yours where im fully covered eyelids in my hair and scalp, under my feet I mean everywhere. I been on steroids and tons of anti histamines. I’m so tired of taking pills. Yes it’s very painful too where it affects my walking. I went to see an Endocrinologist. I doing checks for hormone imbalances along with other blood work. I know for sure that my body does not like sugar as it’s a big trigger as I noticed my body’s reaction to sweets. I’m also triggered by stress and sweat. It’s important also to sleep well get a least 8 hours of deep sleep to allow your body to restore and strengthen the immune system. I will continue to share more updates on my findings as it’s new to me and I think we could all help each other. Stay well and thanks for sharing
Wow! Ive just bummped into your 3years old vid... im now suffering from the same state you have shown; covered in bumps, swollen face, lips, severe headache for two months now... noone would believe me, until i show them my pics. I cry how my life has changed suddenly😪. Thanks So much for this info, although im living in Hungary, i will try to search for this injections... hope you are staying safe and hive-free, strong girl you are🙏🏻💚🌱
Thank you for your message! I hope you are okay, it’s a very scary thing to have and so difficult to live with 😔 I hope you start to feel better soon! ❤️
I had been getting the Xolair injections monthly for a couple of years and they really helped so much, I was able to stop taking Zantac when it was recalled, and I didn't breakout. Because of the pandemic, I stopped going to my allergist each month and I haven't had injections since February. I just started breaking out again this week, so I'm going back to my allergist next week. The itching is maddening. I usually use a heating pad for my monthly cramps, but I broke out in hives when I used it last week. Right now I am using cold packs, I started taking Pepcid in addition to the Singulair and Zyrtec that I still take daily. The itching is much better about an hour or so after taking the Pepcid, but 8 hours later it's bad again. Just thought someone might be interested in how it goes after skipping the injections for a while. My allergist had told me that some people stop getting the injections and they're fine, so I was hopeful that I could stop them for good but apparently that's not going to work for me. It's frustrating to think I'll need these injections monthly for the rest of my life. I wish everyone experiencing hives good luck and itch free days. Hang in there.
Hey! Ive had chronic hives for 6 years myself. I am taking the injections now I'm in my 4th every 4 weeks...i still have hives...did urs take long to go away?
@@Mrsh3n1 It took a few months, but I still had to take zantac, zyrtec and singulair daily in addition to the injections. Unfortunately, I stopped getting the injections during the pandemic, but started breaking out again and resumed the xolair injections but now I seem to have a reaction to them which includes hives and angioedema, which is new to me. I read somewhere once that if you discontinue the injections and restart them it can cause you to have reactions to the injections. Now I can't have them, so I am currently taking dapsone which is working very well. I hope you get relief soon.
Thank you for sharing your story. I have been living with this for almost a year now. I am on my last wits end! I can’t sleep 😴 nor can I get any rest. I have been on steroids, all anti histamines don’t work. I have been on Claritin, Zyrtec as a combination therapy. It alleviated my symptoms a little bit. They don’t work anymore. I am so frustrated with the hives, redness, itching, angiomadema, the facial , hands and feet swelling. I am so miserable 😖. I have went to several doctors, and allergy doctors. I have an appointment coming up soon and will inquire about the medication you just mentioned. Thank you for your story 🙏🏾
Hi! I just wanted to say something that might help. I’ve been suffering with this since the beginning of the year and some of my hives were as big as my hand and they were EVERYWHERE. I tried everything. I got allergy testing and I’m not allergic to anything so I had to be put on steroids multiple times because of how bad my hives were. They worked but made me gain a bunch of weight. Finally after months, the doctor decided to put me on Pepcid and Zyrtec. It’s the only thing that has worked! Pepcid is a medicine for stomach acid but for some reason it helps with blocking something that causes the hives. I suggest you try it! (:
Hi guys i will tell u how i cured my extreme cholinergic urticaria in 4 days. I was in a condition where i would get itching and hives whenever sunlight touches the skin, it became worse. I did my research then i found that impure blood is a main reason. Here is the cure that worked for me. 1)I ate aloevera(1 small slice) in empty stomach followed by turmeric milk in morning for 3 days. 2)on the 3rd day i still got itch and hives so i thought of speeding up the purification process on 4th day i drank 5 to 6 litres(1hour - 300ml-400ml) Surprisingly on 5th day it just vanished that is reduced to 5%. Note:Anti histamines worked fine but once i stopped it came back.
@@zosocat9402 Thanks to your post and another one on the same treatment, I had my hives cleared AFTER 2 years of suffering from bad hives. The combination of Pepcid (H1 inhibitors cause I couldn't find Pepcid in my country) and Zyrtec treated all hives. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! For the longest time my hives have been misdiagnosed as Lupus, but that never really sounded right to me. Those pictures and your story are so similar to mine. I'm really hoping I can get my doctor to try this injection, I've been dealing with this for 4 years and it gets to point where I'm so isolated and depressed that I can hardly take it. So thank you, your story might have just saved my life.
Jaz Marc I'm so pleased this helped!! It looks me so long to find out about those injections and as you saw / know this illness really limits your everyday life! Let he know how you get on! Good luck!! Xxx
Jaz Marc I have had chronic hives for 4 months again I sought treatment from a Chinese medicine doctor. I had it two years ago for 6months before and my Chinese doctor got rid of it. I can tell u why it's happening. It makes complete sense. My body had trapped blood that was not moving to my liver. As u know the liver filters clean blood. My doctor used acupuncture herbs and needle cupping to get that blocked toxic blood to go to my liver. Also the reason why the body is releasing histamines is because it's telling u some toxic blood in your body shouldn't be there. Trust me I've been three weeks going to the doctor and I finally have my life back. It's called blood stagnation in Chinese medicine. Seek out a Chinese doctor only. Not a naturopath I tried before and got no relie
Man, I get it. I feel like i'm bitching because there are people with cancer and missing limbs and i'm complaining about a bit of itching but seriously, its hell. I just had about 3 or 4 good months but as soon as fall hit they came back again. I've tried steroids, didn't even help this time. its a mess.
Jaz Marc apparently it is a part of the lupus disease family but its the liver thats not functioning properly & its to do a detox...this is my 3rd ur now...very depressing 😢😢
I have it too. I've found some relief with cinnamon tea. I put 2 or 3 whole cloves in a cup of water, then I heat it in the microwave. I remove the cloves, then add the cinnamon tea bag, half a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, then sweeten to taste with raw honey. It helps me a lot. I still get occasional hives, but I can live with them.
I've been dealing with chronic hives for a 5 or 6 months now and I'm getting a sample of xolair tomorrow. However, I'm scared about the price and if I'll have an allergic reaction. I also am just scared it won't work and I'll still be in pain. Your story has made me so sad and to think there are so others who have to go through this sucks 😦
😱 OMG! Thank you for sharing your story. This sounds like and looks like exactly what happened to me two days ago. I finished an extended water fast 3 days before this happened (16 days no food, just water). I was slowly integrating food back into my digestion system. I think this rash might be triggered by gluten so it might be celiac disease because (Wed evening) I ate some wheat flax crackers with homemade sunflower butter and the next day (Thurs afternoon) I noticed I started having a histamine itchy burning reaction on my lower legs. Thought maybe it was a reaction to big bite, didn’t pay attention, rubbed some coconut oil & tea tree oil on and went about my day. Later that day (Thurs evening) I ate fresh bread (pita / fresh restaurant pizza oven type bread) and humus the next day (Fri afternoon) I rushed home in the middle of the day ripping my clothes off to see why I was itching so badly and I saw that the rash spread to my hips and thighs especially the back of my legs and butt! For immediate relieve I could only think to get into a warm bath with lavender essential oil, apple cider vinegar & epsom salt! The rash calmed down, stopped itching and basically went away. After the bath, I rubbed myself down with hydrocortisone cream & lavender oil and for the next few hours no problem. It wasn’t until (Fri night) after munching on the left over bread & humus that the rash started to reappear a few hours later, woke me up in the middle of the night, that I made the “connection” between the rash and the bread!!! I started feeling a burning itching sensation on my arms then the red rash splotches & welts appeared on my arms, back and legs like your pictures! Wondering if this could be: Urticaria, Atopic Dermatitis, Celiac disease - Gluten intolerance, leaky gut? Or something else. Before doing the water fast I didn’t have any reaction like this.
I know what you are going through. I want to make a video soon, but I dealt with hives for over 3 years to the point that it ruined my life. Chronic hives are miserable and would never wish them on anybody. Here is what I can recommend. 1. Eliminate all wheat/gluten (it took me 2 years to realize this because I've been eating it all my life and had never had a problem with it. As soon as I cut this out of my diet and all forms, my outbreaks were not as bad. I would be afraid to fall asleep because my throat would close up and would fear I would choke to death in my sleep. Yes it was that bad. Eliminating wheat was my greatest challenge because it is hard to stay disciplined and say farewell to your favorite foods, especially when you go out to eat with family and friends. I was in so much misery that it was worth it to do and would have done anything to get better, so I did. This cured about 75% of my hive problem surprisingly. 2. Try enemas. To make sure that all the wheat I was eating completely passed through my body, I would take an enema so no trace of gluten would be present. This was a miracle for me. It helped me flush out the toxins causing the reaction and ensured that my body was completely free of gluten and wheat when I first started or if I were to ever backslide and make a mistake eating. Yes, hidden ingredients, family cooking, and slipping up are a reality of going gluten free. Enemas will help it pass through you body much quicker. 3. ZYRTEC. THIS was a miracle for me and don't know what I would have done without it. It is my greatest relief yet greatest pain because it makes you super drowsy and tired. I don't know how this would work for you but this literally had saved my life in more ways than one. My face would puff out, my throat would close up, hives would cover my entire body and one or half of these pills would not only make the bumps go away but also the itching would subside. Everything else for allergies did not work for me. Zyrtec will help you get through those hard days or even times when you slip up while changing your diet. Slowly, I managed to wean myself off of it because I reached a point where I'm not as sick anymore. 4. Diatomacious Earth and Activated Charcoal. I spent years going through supplements trying to find the best ones. At the end of the day, none of them really worked. The only two are not supplements at all which are DE and charcoal. I would take 1 TBSP of DE before bed with Activated Charcoal tabs. This helped eliminate the toxins in my body and felt immediate improvement in the quality of my life. The symptoms of hives at this point were completely eliminated. No more ER visits. Hang in there. Learn how your diet works and try some of these things. If you can afford it, a food sensitivity test helped me as well once I stopped eating wheat/gluten.
To anyone needing help, please ask natural doctors about prescribing you LDN (low dose naltrexone) it saved my life 5 years ago. Once you start it, NEVER go off of it. Because I’m in a position now where my hives came back after 5 years bc I stopped taking the LDN, so I’m starting from scratch again. But it worked the first time. I hope this helps you all. You are not alone. 🙏🏽
I have a similar issue when I get hot, it comes and goes for months at a time, I've tried antihistamines, changing diet, changing environment - nothing helps. The itching is the worst, it's like being tickled with needles. And even when it's not there I'm afraid it will happen, like flinching when you think you're about to be hit. The only thing that helps me is to fight through the pain and force myself to sweat a lot, which stops the pain eventually.
@@uheikon1240 Have done a bit of reading around, apparently it's to do with pores being blocked causing pressure when you start to sweat which inflames your skin. Wondering if a steam room or sauna might help clear the pores. Best if luck to you finding your personal cure, still hunting for mine.

@@angelicareyes7295 I started taking Zyrtec and it COMPLETELY saved me 💖💕...I'm pretty much back to normal. And Benadryl itch stopping gel has helped as well.
I have had ICU for over 2 years now. I will not say that I am cured but I am 90% improved. Research ways to boost your DOA... this is the body's natural histamine downgrading enzyme. For me I am on a good Omega 3 supplement, a good multivitamin, Vitamin D, Slow Release Magnesium and a Iodine/Selenium combo supplement. These have all greatly helped me...Oh and I also take Sole (salt water) daily. I hope this helps someone as much as it has helped me!
Thank you so much for making this video, I’ve been on prednisone for 2 months and no improvements on my chronic urticaria. I’m at the point of depression and this video has given me hope. I will be going to the hospital tomorrow pushing for this and if not I will be going to a private clinic to push for it. This is not a good quality of life and way to live, and I’m at my last strings.
Glad to hear you're doing better. It's so scary dealing with all this. I been dealing with mast cell disoder symptoms for years now with rashes, hives etc. Did you gain weight off the levocetirizine?
Hi- I'm walking in your shoes right now---this is the second time in my life I've gone through this relentless allergy. I don't know if I could find the shots in the US--I haven't heard of them. I'm miserable. I just ordered one thing that helped me before- New Zealand Colostrum supplements. Not cheap. I can only hope. Over-active immune system- you hit it on the head. What started with a reaction to food color has blossomed into a beast!
I'm glad people are not ashamed to show there skin_problems especially me, but mine is forgotten, someone linked me with a dermatologist and his good, solved my skin @graysom_autumn. His i.g handle.
I have the same problem, apparently not as bad as you, but I've had this for about three years! I'm tired and frustrated with it! You've given me hope that there is something out there to help me! Thank you!
Thank you, Sonja. Really appreciate your effort to help others with this problem. It's been about 5 weeks from the first "itch" (upper, right thigh)...My body, at present, in engulfed in a red, patchy layer. I've gained close to 9 1/2 in two days from water retention...lower legs and belly are noticeably collecting fluid. Though not a big fan of doctors, I visited an urgent care facility, yesterday, and was giving a prednisone injection and prescribed additional steroid tabs, cream and antihistamines. I, too, have researched this malady, extensively, and, similar to you, is willing to trying anything and everything... My back data: I've had two previous episodes with hives. The last one was over 30 years, ago. It went away on its own. I'm retired. 63 yo M. Health and fitness buff. 5'10", 170 lbs. May go out for a lunch or dinner at local restaurants, maybe, once every two or three months. I eat two meals a day (6 hrs eat: 18 hrs fast). 80% whole, fresh foods, little meat of any kind...clean, clean, clean. I reversed my Type 2 Diabetes, 12 years ago, and lost 44 lbs in the process and have maintained a preventative medicine lifestyle, ever since! I stopped testing blood sugar 5 years, ago, no need. I take no prescription meds of any kind. I haven't seen a physician (up until yesterday) in over three years. Again, no need. I haven't been sick in over 8 freaking years! I exercise 75 mins, daily, 365... and, in December, I wake up, one night, scratching. What the hell! lol I've always said to my wife and kids, "What doesn't kill us, only, makes us stronger!" Well, boys and girls, it's time for grandpa to dance to the music, again. "Face your fears, embrace the challenge!" Fuck, my skin! "Over active immune system" (sorry, doctors), I ain't buying it! I will study the results of my CBC panel, later this week, and go over it with a fine tooth comb. And, then, go from, there. I asked the doc about Helicobacter Pylori but she told me my insurance will probably not cover that test (or C-Reactive Protein, either) but she did request a Thyroid panel for me. I know I don't have have an under active thyroid but what the hell. It's only been 5 weeks. But, I don't want just a "treatment" that works. I don't want to take drugs, either. I really want to find root cause. I have a huge problem with conditions that just pop out of the blue and fade away by themselves, as mysteriously as they originated. I appreciate your journey and your social conscious, Sonja. Kudos & Thank you so much for sharing, young lady! ...But, in the end, I really need to know what causes this. Because, in true medicine of the human body, you don't fucking "treat" disease. You take care of your body will conscientious diligence and allow it to do all the "treating", itself. PS: I already fasted for 5 days on water and green tea, only. Condition worsened. And, I changed my laundry soap to All Free and Clear. No noticeable improvement, either.
It's been almost 4 days since I posted, above. My skin is healing, noticeably, each and every day. The angiodema that made by belly and lower legs swell to nearly twice its normal size has almost entirely subsided. The itching when sleeping has been reduced by 80%. The inability to get sleep in the worst part of urticaria, Without sleep, your body can't repair damaged skin. I've stopped taking the prednisone, now, and, last night, was the first time in the last 10 days I was able to get more than a few hours sleep. (PS: The hydroxyzine (aka benadryl) did nothing for my hives. They offered nothing in the way of itch relief.) During these last four days, I've resummed my intermittent fasting regimen (no food after 2PM until 8AM, next day). Plus, I've resumed my normal consumption of 140 oz of water, every day. I also am back to my normal workout routines, as well. The bright side of urticaria, for me: 1. My face (aside from swelling of eyelids) was left untouched,and 2. My joints and muscles were unaffected by the allergic reaction so I was able to exercise throughout this awful ordeal. Finger's crossed but, I believe, the worst is over. If I get a relapse, I'll be sure to post, back, additional observations. Going to see an allergist on Wednesday, just the same...
@@rsthegoat4221 two possibles: 1. BPA (Bisphenol A), and 2. Mold We discovered a slow leak under the slab of our home. One wall of our home had quadruple normal moisture content of the other walls. After re-piping our home and dehumidification, my rash finally disappeared. I can only surmise that mold may have played a role.
Hey Guys I had the same problem. After a year they found I'm allergic to omega-5 gliadin. Please ask your doctor for omega-5 gliadin IGE When your Hives at peak.
The worst thing about this no one can really understand what you really going through.
Update:- i am almost cured now...now i just feel a very mild itch that too rarely. (i just suffered through it... just try to ease into that horrible sensation)
hope you are okay praying for us all
bbyunderliined glad to know this.

Yes and when i'm completly red and and I have a hard time breathing my father tells me it's nothing at all. But he doesn't even know how i feel
thats so true!

Are you using any artificial sweeteners?
Mine started today and it's killing me. Met with my doctor and he prescribed Fexofenadine, and Dermacool cream to help with the itching. Unfortunately, it only alleviated a little but the itching seems worse now. I am confused

Bro u found any solution?
Soak your feet in warm water get a foot bath or just use something that can cover your feet.. Soak in salt water or dawn soap water.. 30 to a hour twice a day get rid of fungus in nails and between toes. Soak and relax also do research on why you should soak feet and how it connects with skin and nerves
Godlovesskaters
Ok i will try
I think this highlights a huge flaw in the NHS, where doctors just guess and send you away with some drugs, and if they get it wrong you have to diagnose yourself, then convince the doctor and then get out on a waiting list for something they should have diagnosed and treated in a week.
I feel really sad for all those who r going through this....I hope I become that doctor who can bring a cure for this
That would be so amazing!! xx
I also am working to become a doctor. I wasn't going for allergy, rather pharmacy. Sometimes I think about changing paths.
Unfortunately cures don’t bring in money for big pharma…
I wish!
me: *just relaxing*
my hives: allow me to introduce my self

This video has helped me so much! Ive just been crying because I felt like no one understands what I’m going through and when I can’t make my work my family get mad at me and it’s horrible. I’ve had this on and off since 2011 and it keeps coming back and lasting months if not years at a time. I’ve lost two jobs because of this and I’ve just started a new job this year and I’m scared of losing it. I’m going to the doctors today and mentioning this because ive tried the diets, tablets, herbals etc and nothing has worked. Thank you so much for making this. I’ve just showed my mum and for the first time feel like she properly understands what I’m going through.
Hi Natalie, Im so pleased this video gave you some help! its very hard for people that don't have this condition to understand how it feels. I hope this gives you some information and you can get some help! Keep in touch x
Sonja Sleator I went to the doctors today and my dermatologist appointment has been pushed forward and they are asking dermatology to put me forward for the jags! I really hope this works for me had chronic idiopathic urticaria for years and this might just be my solution. I’m from Scotland so getting it through the nhs too. Just want to say thank you again for all your help if you hadn’t been open about this and shared it on RUclips I wouldn’t have probably found out about these jags x
Not a problem! If your Dermatologist does not put you through then speak to a immunologist because it was that style of Dr who was my only help! Its great that you will be able to get this on the NHS like myself! And your more than welcome for the video. I had never seen or heard of anything like this before I got it so I just wanted to try and give the information I got for this to other people to help :) xx
I am glad i watched this video
I live in ghana and i have been experiencing series of breakouts
Its such a painful experience
My first breakout was in high school it lasted for about a yr and half n den 6 yrs later i get anoda breakout n its like the worst ever
I am certain that its probably an immune system disorder cuz every allergy panel test i did came out negative
My antihistamines tabs aren't working hydrocortisone injections lasts for jux 24 hrs i dont know what to do again
N i dont know if these shots u take are available in my country
I had to quit my job, because of this situation. I need a job, I dont want go to interview, with a broke out face. It looks horrible
Been dealing with ICU for 2 years now it’s absolutely tearing my life apart. I get them every night and it stops me from hanging out with my friends I’m living my life around this disease and have found no cure people just don’t understand how crippling this really is
Take this positively.

@@photographylover6457
This happens only during June to August.
Will definitely try
Oh, sweetheart, I am so sorry you had had to go through this! I am having a similar problem but not at all as severe. My heart goes out to you and you are extremely generous and kind to do this to help others. Wishing you ever-increasing radiant health! Much love to you...
You have just described the past 9 years of my life. The allergy clinic told me there was no point in anymore tests, they couldn't help me. I'm very happy I found this video. I'm saving it so I can ask my doctor if this is available for me.
Good luck!!
Have you ever had any of your lymph nodes swell up due to this. I have swollen lymph nodes in my neck and it causing the right side of my face to hurt. I also have pain behind my right eye.
@@tierragreen6760 No i didnt have this. Just swelling of the face x
it worked for me too. thank God
Tierra Green yes! My very first instance involved one of my lymph nodes being so swollen that it was bulging out of my neck. The doctors said it was because I still have my tonsils and apparently my tonsils are huge and tend to hold onto bacteria :/ I was going to get them taken out, but luckily the lymph nodes haven’t been an issue again for me, just the swollen puffy eyes and hives.
I feel for everyone who suffers with this! I'll never forget my very first attack, I had all the itching but no hives which lasted for about 3 months. It felt like little bugs crawling under my skin. It drove me insane until one day it just went away. Then 2 years later, I got the hives again. It lasted 3 months, then went away. This happened a few more times. Then After 10 years of no hives. They came back. By then, I had narrowed it down to 2 suspects. Chinese food or popcorn. So I did a test. I made some popcorn and guess what, 4 days after I ate the popcorn, I got the hives. The reason I cold never figure it out before because it took 4 days for the hives to start which by then I usually had forgotten what I had to eat. I am writing this now because I had been free of it for quite a while until I accidentally ate some rice cakes which had corn kernels it. So here I am again. Also, regular corn doesn't affect me like popcorn. It has something to do with the corn kernels. Crazy itching mad it makes you!
I’ve had a bad episode with popcorn as well, never again although I love it 🥰 smh
I think you have Salicylate intolerance.
@@blessed9165 I just ate popcorn and immediately got hives!
unfortunately Chronic Idipopathic Urticaria are not always due to allergies but the immune system attacking itself, my Urticaria can last for 10 years and then dissapear and come back.
Mine has started now I'm only 14 years old
I can't even sleep I'm really sad😔😔
I can't go to school for a week,my exams are starting😖plsss pray for me🙇🙇🙇

Hey, what did you eat during this journey? I'm a do this. I have no other choices. This has been going on 6 years.
Thank you so much. My poor dad is struggling every day been like this for about 2/3 years yours is legitimately the same lips swelling,eyes and skin blotches. I am going to get him to mention the injections at the hospital and hopefully this gets sorted. Your honestly one of the first people and videos that I have found some help with. Thank you. Mark x
mark watts Hi Mark! I'm so glad this video was able to help you! The injections have done wonders for me! I really hope they help your dad too! Let me know how you get on xx
mark watts I have had chronic hives for 4 months again I sought treatment from a Chinese medicine doctor. I had it two years ago for 6months before and my Chinese doctor got rid of it. I can tell u why it's happening. It makes complete sense. My body had trapped blood that was not moving to my liver. As u know the liver filters clean blood. My doctor used acupuncture herbs and needle cupping to get that blocked toxic blood to go to my liver. Also the reason why the body is releasing histamines is because it's telling u some toxic blood in your body shouldn't be there. Trust me I've been three weeks going to the doctor and I finally have my life back. It's called blood stagnation in Chinese medicine. Seek out a Chinese doctor only. Not a naturopath I tried before and got no relie
Thanks for the Video clip! Sorry for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you tried - Trentvorty Urticaria Victory Theorem (should be on google have a look)? It is a great one off product for curing hives without the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my m8 finally got excellent success with it.
I tried to look that up on google but its asking me to join something on the website... Thankfully im still in the clear zone with it after my injections so fingers crossed I stay this way :)
Which injection is this please?
After going through comments, I have realized that I am not only the one suffering from chronic urticaria. I am finishing more than 5 years suffering from the same sickness. I never get a break on itches. I tried many different medical drugs, but nothing worked. I would love to see your prescription so that I can use the same drugs. I will be waiting for the response of how I can manage this sickness.
Thanks,
I about to try sweat therapy
Try xolair injection. Helped me
I'm trying to stop take any medicines. But I use aloe vera soap bar for bath and put aloe vera gel or lotion to my skin when it happens.
@@kiryuunisa6923 I love aloe too, but when I'm suffering with urticaria, 100% aloe burns my skin and I have to remove it. It's torturous!
Bahati Musuhuke try seeing an immunologist! I’ve been to GP’s, dermatologists, etc but nothing.. I went to see an immunologist and he prescribed me with Montelukast and Plaquenil which help most people with CSU, but neither worked for me. Now I am about to start the Xolair injection, which I’ve seen has helped so many people, so I would definitely recommend seeing an immunologist. I’ve had this for 15 years and finally just got told a “cure” for it.
The main thing this affects me with is school. Makes going so difficult. I try to email professors and take the exams but when you're not there learning stuff it is harder. Plus constantly calling in to work sucks I got fired twice now because I was doing customer service and I get it really bad on my face (eyes swell up) and after constant calling in (because they didnt want be scaring customers) I got fired. Now I suffer from depression and anxiety even when I get breaks and they go away for a few weeks, because I know it isn't over and its already caused a lot of failure in me. Really sucks. Plus a lot of people think its disgusting when I go out in public anyways because once again its all over my face neck and arms really visible. Lastly I feel like it makes me get sick a lot more because my body and brain is tired of it and my immune system is in overdrive so I get the cold once every few months. Had this for six years. Longest break in the hives was like 4 months and I felt amazing but now they've been back and with force. Oh well.
I also cant sleep hardly when its super bad breakout, but if minor I've learned to somewhat live with.
My uticaria started at around age 9.
At one point mine was just as crippling as described in this video.
I'm 43 now.
I have identified what causes mine and do not take any drugs to control the hives.
I live hive free most of the time with only occasional issues.
I am allergic to all types of meat.
If I eat meat my body will react with uticaria starting a few hours afterwards and lasts up to six weeks.
Cross contamination gives me scratch uticaria that lasts a few days.
I can eat eggs and cheese with no issues.
As long as I avoid all meat I have no uticaria.
Since I have to avoid most processed food anyway I also avoid preservatives.
I make most of my own food to avoid cross contamination.
I eat salads legumes and fruit.
I do not take any drugs at all.
I can often tell if a food is cross contaminated after just a few bites because my mouth starts itching and then my throat and chest later my stomach will itch.
It was hard to figure out because the effects last for up to 6 weeks from last exposure and meat is in all types of products including canned vegetables and many dry goods.
What do you mean by cross contamination?
For example I can eat McDonald's fries 🍟. But if I go most other places that use the fryer for chicken nuggets as well if I eat fries there I get cross contamination. Same as veggie burgers cooked in the grease from beef burgers. It only takes a small amount of meat to give me uticaria. Another example is pizza. I get a veggie or cheese pizza but they use the same knife they use on the meat lovers pizza and did not clean the cutter. Or at subway the same thing happens when they cut the sandwich in half. If I get them to use a clean knife I don't get the uticaria.
Another example is at a salid bar sometimes people use the same utensil they picked up the ham with to grab something else or some of the meat gets in the other containers.
Does it make sense now what I mean by cross contamination?
Hello Sonja. Just want to say what an excellent job you did on this presentation.
You were articulate, clear, extremely well prepared as well as personable.
I trust you are still doing well. And many kudos to your lovely family and boyfriend for getting you through this horrible experience. You are very fortunate.
Best, bk
I noticed my detergent was one reason of the reasons I aggravated Uticaria rashes. I switched to perfume free products and it made a huge difference.
That’s great news!
thank the lord you are better and you found YOUR OWN CURE
I hate this condition so much. I've been hospitalised by it and yet still my doctor just basically says "live with it"
It's destroying my life :( glad there's someone else with it out there, thankyou for sharing your story.
It makes me feel less alone
05EWalker1 yeah I was taken into hospital 3 times with it. Drs didn't have a clue until I saw an immunologist xx
Get a new doctor! My doc has been super helpful! Are you seeing an allergist?
go to a new doctor. My first allergist told me also well its not dangerous and I just had to live with it and gave me steriods. I went to a new allergist and he put me on Xolair injections which have helped me so much.
Why don't any of these doctors even consider that we simply have histamine intolerance?!?! The cure is in the foods we eat. I put some links above...
Hi!
So sorry to hear about your struggles. I am also dealing with Urticaria since September this year. I am practicing varun mudra drawing from Indian yogic tradition which is helping me a lot with the disease. Mudras are hand postures which balance various elements in our body. Varun mudra cures all skin issues.
I am also practicing yoga especially pranayama or breathing exercises which is also helping immensely.
If you apply coconut oil with camphor on the hives, it reduces itching also.
Hi Monisha, can we connect please? Do you mind sharing the details of your yoga teacher and the tips you're following to cure from this nasty disease. I'm suffering horribly and it's affecting my daily quality of life, can't live like this anymore 😢
Girl, I feel you!! I have horrible urticaria exactly like you describe, with itching, BURNING skin all over my body, and sometimes my lips and eyes swell up like that too. It is the most awful torture. I have tried SO many different things (antihistamines do nothing), Prednisone does help but it destroys my blood sugars (Type 1 diabetic).
I have ideopathic urticaria induced by sweat. It’s been crippling, but I can’t possibly imagine what you’ve gone through. Here’s hoping we find a way to let people know about this disease and get doctors to research and cure it.
I have had chronic urticaria for 9 years now, which is quite uncommon but not unheard of. I’m currently 16 and I’m taking my a levels. The type of chronic urticaria that I have is mainly brought on by stress but it’s always there. I can actually write on my skin which is quite weird and I also get hives. I have an eppi pen as over the last year my neck and mouth has started swelling when I get rlly stressed. I have tried everything, juicing, all sorts of medication that stops me sleeping and sends me loopy and now I’m on a sugar free diet which is very difficult. I’ve not tried the injections yet because I’m just trying to get rid of it naturally as best I can because I’m so afraid of needles 😂. It’s not easy but we have to deal with it I guess 🤷♀️
Is it cured yet ?
im so sorry for ur situation and i respect u and everyone else who has to go through this. it sounds so mentally exhausting and painful
I’m dealing with exercise induced urticaria currently. I’m 3 weeks into the Montelukast and haven’t seen any difference yet. Really appreciate this video, I’m finding it really tough, but you had it even worse! So glad to see you made it through, I was struggling to find much hope anywhere else online. Thanks again!
You are more than welcome for the video. I hope you get yourself sorted and start to ease soon. Its a horrible condition to have :( x
how could it be induced by exercise,
Did it help you? I had urticaria for working out for 4 years now, I used to be quite active so I am really missing my old life. Did Montelukast help you? I tried dietry and homopatic medicine + acupuncture but it is not working for me. Hoping for reply as I am getting quite desperate.
Best regards Sara
i think it has a lot to do with food, toxins that we consume.@@AntoniaSara
all processed food need to be eliminated, food addictives, only eat self made food, , and need to be wise with food choices
@@AntoniaSara I know this is an old comment, but if you're still waiting for an answer, I was put on montelukast about 5 months ago for exercise urticaria. I still need to take antihistamines before an intense workout, but the flares don't push through the antihistamines any more since starting montelukast, and I'm not using antihistamines throughout the day. It worked wonders for me, but everyone's biology is a bit different, so it worked for me, might not work for you. I would say trying it is in general not a bad idea, just watch out for some of the side effects that can happen.
How are you now, dear? Thank you for this video. I am breaking out exactly the same way as you have! I hope I can ask my doctor for the injections. I am in tears. Seemed like you just narrated my life!
Thankfully at the moment I am still doing okay and im just hoping every day that It stays away. It such an awful thing to go through! I hope you are doing okay xx
@@sonjasleator7582 same
I had this since the age of 10 onwards to 16. One day it just stopped and disappeared. Turning 19 this year, and not too long ago it randomly returned. It’s back to ruin my life again! I’m so sick of this!
Oh no thats awful! Its so scary! Mine has still stayed away, but any time i feel an itch or something it really makes me panic! When / if my hies return id be so sad x
Sameeeeee! 😭
I’m so tired i got cholinergic urticaria for almost 2 years now i locked myself in the house losing my social life nobody understands how hard it is to deal with this it really impacts your life and i wish this upon nobody i just really be abusing drugs the only thing i feel that helps me right now 😞
I was having sores on my lips and my genital part but after using a herbal medicine from Doctor Ani John on RUclips right now I’m cured completely
Sorry to hear that many are experiencing this. In my case Telfast helps a lot (once a day or every 12 hours when it is severe), and also exercise helps a lot. Once you start exercising the itching gets really bad but if you wait it through, it feels like my daily dosage of histamine is consumed and I don't get hives or feel itchy for the rest of the day.
does anyone notice they get hives in there dreams too? like wow it even effects us in the dream life
yep...its devestating...Im having hives for 2 years now its terrible.
I have it since 2 years and I can’t do anything.😢😢😢
Hi guys i will tell u how i cured my extreme cholinergic urticaria in 4 days.
I was in a condition where i would get itching and hives whenever sunlight touches the skin, it became worse. I did my research then i found that impure blood is a main reason.
Here is the cure that worked for me.
1)I ate aloevera(1 small slice) in empty stomach followed by turmeric(half tea spoon more than enough) milk in morning for 3 days.
2)on the 3rd i still got itch and hives but not severe so i thought of speeding up the purification process on 4th day i drank 5 to 6 litres(1hour - 300ml-400ml)
Surprisingly on 5th day it just vanished that is reduced to 5%.
Note:Anti histamines worked fine but once i stopped it came back.
@@ganishkarthoughts4158 only sunlight? Then its not colinergic urticaria.I get hives while taking a shower,running, and any activity that raises my body temperature instantly.
@@ganishkarthoughts4158 and isn't milk high in histamine?
Sonja thank you so much for this video. I’m currently covered in Calamine lotion. Been battling this for about a 10 years on and off. It would happen every few years and when it does it comes for 5/6 months and also lip swelling but never eyes or face hives. Thank you for the info on the injections. I going to see a dermatologist in 1 month and will request the Xolair injections and change in meds as the normal Piriton isn’t working at all
Thank you for making this video. Looks like I am not alone! I hope we can all get past this and live our lives normally again without hives
I hope so too x
Please ADD an H2 Inhibitor like PEPCID! I was only using H1 Inhibitors like Benadryl/Zyrtec, etc
I’ve been living with chronic hives for 8 years. Mine are no where NEAR as severe as yours, mine are controlled with a pill of levocitirizine a day. So glad you were able to find a solution! 💓💓💓
Are you still on the antihistamine pill now?
I started when I started stressing out all the time. Now just alittle uncomfortable feeling or a depressed moment breaks me out.
So sorry to hear this and to all sufferers. I used to have it and it got worst and swollen after I gave birth. Could feel burning hot swelling and itching affecting my sleep. Had it for over 2 years until I found out I had cancer. Change my dietary ( juicing and plant based and no sugar) within 2 months its gone...like finally I was relieved from it.Sleep early n enough sleep is important. Eat clean and meditate to minimise stress. Not only that my hives were gone, no more inflammation , lose weight, better skin and I'm truly grateful for my health now. Love and light to all 💙
What you have change or what kind of food you have taken? Please tell me coz I am also suffering from this more than 2 years
@@arushWsigma Rabi, need to work on the inside. I turn to juicing ( veg now fruits) detox, took certain supplements recommended by nutritionist. Meditation and eating organic. Our mind can heal our body. I do grounding and try to sleep early. I pray for you and every sufferers to heal soon 🙏
Also no sugar, gluten and eat less carbs and fasting. Pls do it for 2 mths to see the difference. And try to keep a healthy lifestyle. Stay active and for 8 mths I quit coffee too.
I’m sorry:(what cancer u had?
I was literally sobbing during the entire video (which now makes my mouth swell - a little gift from angioedema - and I'm not sure if it makes my throat swell too, my body have been doing strange things, what can I say?).
I have been 1 year and 5 months with urticaria and angioedema, I tried diets, I take all the medicines every day, I have to carry medicines with me always, because I can swell and be short of breath and it has been so exhausting. The feeling of not knowing whether my throat is swelling or not, whether I should take the emergency medicines or not is so stressful. It's too strange not to know if I'm going to be free of it someday, no matter how hard I try and do everything to be okay I don't know if my life will return to normal or if this is my normal now.
I’m writing this to help if someone has same problem as me. I started to itch on my legs months ago and I thought it would go away but it got worse. I couldn’t think what was causing. I keep taking Benadryl and it would come back. Finally a friend of mine said what laundry detergent do I use. I had changed my laundry detergent from Tide to Gain and I was shocked when I washed my clothes and bed sheets with sensitive arm and hammer detergent
And I’m itch and hives free. Thank God.
Thank you for putting out this info. Im sure it will help someone !!
Ahhhh I m suffering from hives and I suddenly wake up at middle of night and it's sooo itchy and I tell myself dnt scratch it dnt scratch it but my hands just startso to scratch its like my hands tell my brain scratch only a little....but at the end I scratch it until it bleeds then the itchiness goes away then it starts to burn....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh really irritated..I wish I had my normal life back
Oh i know :( I did the same! The itch was the worst! I would bleed as well! I would gently dab camomile lotion on the hives to cool it. xx
@@sonjasleator7582 okay I will do that thank you keep up the good work 😇😎
I have been living with this since 1999 in the marine corps. Long ruck marches caused my skin to swell for 2-3 days. Today, I am still taking zolar shots every 30 days. If ever I miss a shots appointment, my body on day 32 reverts back to wheels, swollen joints, and under the feet sweal. It sucks!
I weighed 165 in 97-2000, 175 when I was Med Boarded out of the Army… everytime I want to work out, I get severe swelling and wheels everywhere. Due to the joint swelling pain, i basically can work out 1-2 times a month… today I way 265, and I seriously want to lose weight, but this uticaria just will not allow me to… doc recently put me on zolar injections and they are expensive, but seem to work great! If I miss a 30 day window, by day 32 i am broken out with wheels, and by 33 swelling starts. It truly is a demotivator for me.
The worst part is that coworkers look at me like a leaper! They see how it causes major swelling and wheels on neck, arms, legs, and head…. And many act like it is contagious, even though it is not.
Thanks for doing this. By sharing, you empower others.
Thanks for sharing your story. I have struggled for 17 years. Yours look exactly like mine. Yes you are 100% that it is an autoimmune condition - we have too much histamine, our bodies think everything is a threat and create white blood cells etc... I have not cured mine. I was living on meds and anti-histamines but I wish to live a life without being dependent on meds. The reality is that this is incurable, there is only temporary relief. I wish you all the best !! I am inspired to share my own story - how I got it, what effects me and how I get by. Thanks
Thank you so so much for allowing me the opportunity to view your video in regards to your story with CSU! He was the first video that popped up that looked genuine, and it will be the last video I watch, because I, too, am looking for at least a remedy, if not a cure for my chronic hives over the past 25 years. my hives are known as CSU chronic spontaneous uriticaria. My hives for no known cause or reason would break out out for no reason at any time of the year. That being said I was in complete disbelief, but not surprised after listening to you. Tell my story yet better than I could ever imagine doing myself. Your story mirrors, mine in all aspects of your journey. Well up until the point where you found a cure or at least I'm more curable and manageable treatment plan then I would have ever been able to do on my own! thank you kindly for the inspiration you've given myself and thousands of others that are in the same situation that have yet to find their cure. I wish you all the best in your journey moving forward. STAY HAPPY, CONTENT & STRONG MINDED!
Thanks so much for sharing your journey. It’s very comforting to know we are not alone with these itchy hives!!!
Thank you for posting this video. It brings a sense of relief knowing Im not the only one. I haven't had it nearly as long (7 weeks & counting). Prior to this I have no known allergies. Antihistamines & changes to my diet have proved futile. After watching this I feel there are still more things out there to try instead of just giving up in despair.
I’m glad it’s helped in some little way xx
What did you change about your diet?
My life has been dictated by this disease.The way people react when I get this allergy is priceless,still hope it don't happen to 'em.
Have had this for over 6 years and the best is that the doctors in this 3rd world country cant'teven diagnose this disease,just endure it seasonally.
bro I felt that I just had a hive break out I was itching like crazy and went to the shower
You have no idea how much you have helped us. My Mom developed this after having her second Covid vaccination. She has been on all kinds of medication for 6 months. I sew your video and now the doctor has referred her for these Xolair injections. Here in Canada as a senior we do not pay for medication so Mom will have hers covered. But your video was a godsend. Thank you so much.
I am so pleased to hear that! Thank you for your message it’s so kind ❤️ I really hope the Xolair helps your mum as much as it helped me! I wish you all the luck xxx
Hello, I'm Timona from Kenya. And I believe I have this disease, but mine is not chronic. Your video has inspired me.
God Bless you,
I’ve been battling this for almost 6-8 months. I get my shots every three weeks. I really can’t get overheated, I stay indoors because it seems if I work up a sweat, it’ll aggravate the patch of hives that are active at that moment. I was on steroids for a year before I was able to start the injections. It affected my face the most, my skin got red, hot and swollen. I actually peeled. It took me such a long time to get my extremely dry flakey skin back to normal. I can tell where my hives are going to appear because that area will get hot, then I’ll start itching. I now carry an epi pen with me at all times and a cream that helps calm the hives. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I didn’t realize there were so many people with this affliction.
Please what cream do you use ?
Man.. you really suffered, I’m quite happy you’re back to normal now. I THINK I have urticaria and it’s an interesting cause (extended hot shower caused it). So at the moment I’m about 5 weeks into it and I just get red dots etc when my body gets hot + the insane itching. Cooling it down stops it. But it definitely seems to be an immune thing.
To my mind your body perceives ‘x’ as a threat and fights it, in my case any heat (yay for summer). Have not come across these injections before your video, might be my solution too?
Cheers for the detailed video.
Hi Sonia! I just wanted to say you’re really pretty & I love your hair. 🥰
I have issues with allergic dermatitis and mast cell activation. Been dealing with it even more this summer from May until now, (it’s horrible to be so itchy - you can’t sleep! 😞) but it’s finally getting better. I hope you are doing well!
Hi blackenddove, thank you for your comment 😊 yes it’s horrible to sleep when you itch. Im doing well thank you, and im glad to hear you are getting there 😊❤️
You sweet soul! Thank you for making this video. I am struggling with this as a new flare up but appreciate your candidness
Hey guys, if you’ve been dealing with this for a while without any noticeable cause , you may have a histamine intolerance which means it could be caused by the foods you eat especially the things we eat everyday like cheese , meat , bananas, dairy products etc. A prick test can also be done to examine if it is the cause of your rashes and hives. Y’all take care!
I have histamine intolerance, but the tests failed to show anything. Keeping a food and symptom journal showed me. I cannot have dairy, fish oil, cured fish, avocado, tomatoes, etc. I found that lemon juice and raw apple cider vinegar are fine for me though. I also found that I have sulfur intolerance -- rutabagas and Brussels sprouts made my skin flare up really bad. Both histamine and sulfur intolerance (overload, really) are caused by certain bad bacteria in the gut. I found this video because now sunflower lecithin made me flare up, and I'm trying to find out why.
After YEARS of dealing with hives and doctors telling me that they had no idea what was causing it, I found one doctor that lead me to know MY problem. I am intolerant to GLUTEN, which is a protein in wheat products. gluten. Now, I do not have celiac disease, I am just intolerant to the gluten and it cause hives, diarrhea and in really bad episodes, swelling of the hands, feet and lots of headaches. -- I can suppress the hives with H1 and H2 blockers, but reducing my Gluten intake was key. I can actually control it now. I have episodes from time to time, but only when I overdo my gluten intake. After about 4-6 weeks I clear up if I reduce or stop eating Gluten. If you eat a lot of wheat products and suffer from hives, you may want to investigate this. It will take several weeks for the gluten to get out of your system, but once it does, you'll feel better. I would consult your doctor about this and do what they say, but try to go to a doctor that believes that gluten can adversely affect you. I found that not all doctors believe that, but for me, I can turn the hives on and off with my gluten intake. - Good luck.
Im glad you got some information and this is helping xx
Me and you are similar am from South Frica suffering from this deases and noone knew as you are saying tha Gluten might be the problem, to when i eat brown bread i will experince constipation and lots of funny things now am startinf to experience terriblr headaches and swollen feets and lips. I will stop starting from today
When I find the cure I will tell everybody I’m testing things now ❤️. I have faith we will all be ok.
Find anything ?
Any luck?
I'm in this condition too help us broo!
Now, literally just now, it got into my eyes and lips. PLS HELP.
@@lyn-lynladra8355 i’d look into latex allergy, that seems to be my issue, i’ve never had hives in my life and recently i’ve started eating a lot more bananas, apples and peanuts (all latex cross reactive foods) and now i have hives all over my lower legs and hands. I plan to keep all latex reactive foods out of my diet because I’ve recently been eating more of a keto diet (also have added rice so that could be an issue too since i’ve been grain free for the past couple months) but i’m doing a very strict elimination diet and taking it easy with each reintroduction of food. I also have an issue with high histamine food. Ugh wish you all healing and good health! 🙏
I just came across your video. I hot Chronic Hives two years ago for about 7 months. It was awful. Your pictures are exactly what I had. Huge itchy painful burning splotches all over my body. The random swollen body part. My lip once was three size bigger. I would have to go to bed early when friends came to hang out with me and my boyfriend because my face was so swollen. I could barely warm from the hives on my inner thighs to the bottoms of my feet being swollen. One day, it went away. I was so happy. I was taking whatever I could with no help, I stopped taking all the Benadryl type medications, mixed with some stomach acid stuff. which would help sometimes but not others, and I would still get the hives but feel like a zombie. Well, A few days ago, I got them again. Every time I had an itch I would go in full panic mode and check my body. Normally with a sigh of relief that I'm okay. This time, no such luck, my waist was covered once again in the welts. My heart sunk, I can't imagine going through this again. so far it's not as intense as the first time, but it's only been a few days. I've been trying to go the natural route since the medications have so many side effects. I'm trying not to lose all hope, but it's difficult. I've been crying so much the last few days. The only thing that's helping is trying to distract my brain. I'm sitting here watching videos to feel less alone in this situation. I'm drinking a huge glass of warm turmeric and apple cider vinegar water, in hopes it'll help with the inflammation. I guess I'll see. Last night was bad, my entire legs were covered. I slathered myself in coconut oil and watched funny videos with my boyfriend to try to distract myself from crying. ::sigh:: This sucks.
I’m so sorry to hear this. It’s awful so I can totally relate! Watching funny videos or good documentary’s helped
Me too. I would also try and sleep in the afternoon to stop myself from scratching. I hope you start to feel better soon. Sending lots of love xx
You've just answered all my questions. I'm so greatful
Turmeric with water daily morning and night is very helpful for this and don't get stress during this urticaria. stress increases more of it
I just realized I have this. I had a flare up all summer and again in October through now. I get hives from my clothes, from showering, etc and the itching is UNBEARABLE!!! I can’t even do anything until it stops because it’s so intense. I’m glad I figured out what it is though. Also the meds my doctor gave me made me feel like I was having a heart attack and I nearly passed out. Not taking that again
Yeah its just awful! Im glad to hear you now know what it is :) I wish you all the luck xxx
I had an 8 month battle in 2016 that I thought was going to kill me. As a child I had many acute reactions that would close my airway. Steroids were the only option I was given. The urticaria returned ten days ago and it is starting at the same places as before. It is hell. I am happy you are doing better! Thank you!
Thank you for uploading this...it really takes so much time to understand that we have got this disease.
I really feel sorry for you... I am having chronic urticaria and I know how painful it is..and the way it affects your life. You are a brave girl
Also that nurse was so attentive and caring
I’ve been suffering from chronic urticaria for 3 years and i’ve been using antihistamine daily to keep it under control. Mine was triggered with a rare sea animal bite but never stopped. I’ve tried those elimination diets but diets didn’t cure it unfortunately. I’m intolerant to certain kind of food but I’ve seen that food is irrelevant to my urticaria and don’t cure it. I’m still looking for a permanent cure for this.
I hope you get help and answers soon! X
I started this last summer. I’m not sure if we have the same condition because yours looks more severe, but mine only happens when heat is involved. So when I’m outside, when I work out, and take long hot showers. I went to a dermatologist and they prescribed Zyrtec and it helped with the itch but I still get the rashes. I think I’m gonna look into this and get straight to the point.
Yugis Grandpa yes I have read up on lots of people only getting this when heat is involved. Keep researching and hopefully you will find something that helps that maybe isn't as extreme as getting injections. Good luck!!
I am suffering from same 😭 totally fu#kup 😭 cant do anything 😭 itching alot in warm heat areas cant go outside in sun rashes full body 😭 help me please help me
From this winter
I'm suffering from chronic heat urticaria, Please help me, if any of you have found the solution
Ya no hot water it makes i worse... you have to have it lukewarm you have to get in and out no scented or fragrance dye just straight planes organic some type of soap Dove sensitive L Fabric Softener once again no fragrance lotion is I forget what the lotion is called that is unscented
Omg! Thank you so much for this video. I am going through this right now and the doctors don't know how to help me. I am going to try this. I appreciate you!
Just earn a like and a subscribe! Was randomly watching RUclips and figured I'd search to see what others did in reference to hives. WOW...the nail on the head! Mine were the size of dinner plates on my legs and other areas. Took about 6 months for my Primary Care Provider (WITH my suggestions) to see an specialist. I am currently on Xolair and I too am VERY thankful. My only concern is IF the manufacturer ever shuts its doors so to speak...we'll keep this positive though. I just wanted to say thank you for this video. It was seen after I started getting my (now 150cc a month) injections. [b]Dont[/b] miss your appointments, I did just due to a busy life by 2 weeks..."HELLO DARKNESS MY OLD FRIEND". But if you are watching this...talk to your doctor about it. -cheers
Wow these comments although sad to see how many people are suffering like me make me feel less alone. 2 years in
I’m glad they can help x
I had them for about a year really bad I used different medicines nothing worked till i used Neem tree oil soap for about two weeks. I hope this info will help somebody. what ever the cause was this was the cure.
HI Jesus
can you tell us in detail how you used neem tree oil soap please?
Jesus I had tree oil so have applied it. I think I got this from having to take antihistamines to stop itching from an attack of scabies. I read that your body actually changes due to loratadine or benadryl so that you get hives and itching when you try to stop them. Talk about a vicious cycle.
Jesus what is this??
Vicki Takacs - I had the same problem with Anti-Histamines... the problem is that most of them also intrrfere with the production of DAO the Histamine downgrading enzyme that helps to keep Histamine in check... so if you already have low levels of DAO and taking an antihistamine this makes your DAO even lower... I weaned myself off antihistamines slowly while trying to boost my DAO and sticking to a low histamine diet... I am now at a point where I have not taken any antihistamines for a year... I can eat most foods and coffee again (yay).... I need to stay well hydrated and I am 90% symptom free.
you are on right path. try also this wp.me/p9QvXr-8X
Thank you so much for this video and information. I’ve had this condition for over 5 years, been on so many different medications, been referred to a dermatologist and all they seem to do is ask me the same questions and put me on different medications. I’m going to put my foot down now and ask for these injections. This condition has made me miserable and has changed my life drastically in a bad way.
Hey, im glad the video helped! I know the injections arnt for everyone but i do hope they might help you :) good luck!!
Amazing. You are brilliant. Thank you so much . My daughter has this and it’s been so frightening and awful. Can not thank you enough. Crying .
Your more than welcome! I hope the video helps xxx ❤️
most peaple here asked about the name of the injection ; it is called Xolair ( Omalizumab )
but, be cautious and don't use it without doctor's prescription.
I hope for you a complete wellness.
Thank you 😊
It's great to see this... I have also treated myself. Weedborn oils have helped me a lot.
Great! I’m glad you found something to help xx
Thanks love I know exactly what you are going through because I have been going through this for the past five months and just yesterday I got them under my feet and I couldn't walk it was so painful I was crying just listening to you but the good news is that my specialists has recommended that I should start taking Xolair so hopefully in the next few weeks I'll get the injections, thanks for sharing and God bless.
How r u now?
How are you now ?
I had this in 2019. Now I am much better, almost vanished. Take 3 teaspoon of Ghee (clarified butter), 3 teaspoon of light brown sugar and 3 teaspoon of ground pepper powder. Mix it well and eat it around 5pm daily for 2 months. Donot drink water or eat anything for 2 hours after you take the mix. Preferably dont eat or drink 1 hour before you take the above mix. You will start seeing the difference in the first 2 weeks itself. It worked for me.
I want to ask u something plz reply
I have a lot of questions, please reply
@@sujanachowdhury1472 Yes, you can ask me.
@@vedant4613 Yes plz ask
Rohit Sasidharan did this really work ??
Hi, I started getting hives in February of the year after being in a major car accident. It started getting worst I’d be out eating and immediately I’ll see the whales coming up. It would get as bad as yours where im fully covered eyelids in my hair and scalp, under my feet I mean everywhere. I been on steroids and tons of anti histamines. I’m so tired of taking pills. Yes it’s very painful too where it affects my walking. I went to see an Endocrinologist. I doing checks for hormone imbalances along with other blood work. I know for sure that my body does not like sugar as it’s a big trigger as I noticed my body’s reaction to sweets. I’m also triggered by stress and sweat. It’s important also to sleep well get a least 8 hours of deep sleep to allow your body to restore and strengthen the immune system. I will continue to share more updates on my findings as it’s new to me and I think we could all help each other. Stay well and thanks for sharing
Wow! Ive just bummped into your 3years old vid... im now suffering from the same state you have shown; covered in bumps, swollen face, lips, severe headache for two months now... noone would believe me, until i show them my pics. I cry how my life has changed suddenly😪. Thanks So much for this info, although im living in Hungary, i will try to search for this injections... hope you are staying safe and hive-free, strong girl you are🙏🏻💚🌱
Thank you for your message! I hope you are okay, it’s a very scary thing to have and so difficult to live with 😔 I hope you start to feel better soon! ❤️
I had been getting the Xolair injections monthly for a couple of years and they really helped so much, I was able to stop taking Zantac when it was recalled, and I didn't breakout. Because of the pandemic, I stopped going to my allergist each month and I haven't had injections since February. I just started breaking out again this week, so I'm going back to my allergist next week. The itching is maddening. I usually use a heating pad for my monthly cramps, but I broke out in hives when I used it last week. Right now I am using cold packs, I started taking Pepcid in addition to the Singulair and Zyrtec that I still take daily. The itching is much better about an hour or so after taking the Pepcid, but 8 hours later it's bad again.
Just thought someone might be interested in how it goes after skipping the injections for a while. My allergist had told me that some people stop getting the injections and they're fine, so I was hopeful that I could stop them for good but apparently that's not going to work for me. It's frustrating to think I'll need these injections monthly for the rest of my life.
I wish everyone experiencing hives good luck and itch free days. Hang in there.
Hey! Ive had chronic hives for 6 years myself. I am taking the injections now I'm in my 4th every 4 weeks...i still have hives...did urs take long to go away?
@@Mrsh3n1 It took a few months, but I still had to take zantac, zyrtec and singulair daily in addition to the injections. Unfortunately, I stopped getting the injections during the pandemic, but started breaking out again and resumed the xolair injections but now I seem to have a reaction to them which includes hives and angioedema, which is new to me. I read somewhere once that if you discontinue the injections and restart them it can cause you to have reactions to the injections.
Now I can't have them, so I am currently taking dapsone which is working very well.
I hope you get relief soon.
Thank you for sharing your story. I have been living with this for almost a year now. I am on my last wits end! I can’t sleep 😴 nor can I get any rest. I have been on steroids, all anti histamines don’t work. I have been on Claritin, Zyrtec as a combination therapy. It alleviated my symptoms a little bit. They don’t work anymore. I am so frustrated with the hives, redness, itching, angiomadema, the facial , hands and feet swelling. I am so miserable 😖. I have went to several doctors, and allergy doctors. I have an appointment coming up soon and will inquire about the medication you just mentioned. Thank you for your story 🙏🏾
More than welcome! Good luck! i hope you get sorted soon x
Hi! I just wanted to say something that might help. I’ve been suffering with this since the beginning of the year and some of my hives were as big as my hand and they were EVERYWHERE. I tried everything. I got allergy testing and I’m not allergic to anything so I had to be put on steroids multiple times because of how bad my hives were. They worked but made me gain a bunch of weight. Finally after months, the doctor decided to put me on Pepcid and Zyrtec. It’s the only thing that has worked! Pepcid is a medicine for stomach acid but for some reason it helps with blocking something that causes the hives. I suggest you try it! (:
@@zosocat9402 Oh thats great news! I hope others on here can try it! Thank you for letting us know x
Hi guys i will tell u how i cured my extreme cholinergic urticaria in 4 days.
I was in a condition where i would get itching and hives whenever sunlight touches the skin, it became worse. I did my research then i found that impure blood is a main reason.
Here is the cure that worked for me.
1)I ate aloevera(1 small slice) in empty stomach followed by turmeric milk in morning for 3 days.
2)on the 3rd day i still got itch and hives so i thought of speeding up the purification process on 4th day i drank 5 to 6 litres(1hour - 300ml-400ml)
Surprisingly on 5th day it just vanished that is reduced to 5%.
Note:Anti histamines worked fine but once i stopped it came back.
@@zosocat9402 Thanks to your post and another one on the same treatment, I had my hives cleared AFTER 2 years of suffering from bad hives. The combination of Pepcid (H1 inhibitors cause I couldn't find Pepcid in my country) and Zyrtec treated all hives. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! For the longest time my hives have been misdiagnosed as Lupus, but that never really sounded right to me. Those pictures and your story are so similar to mine. I'm really hoping I can get my doctor to try this injection, I've been dealing with this for 4 years and it gets to point where I'm so isolated and depressed that I can hardly take it. So thank you, your story might have just saved my life.
Jaz Marc I'm so pleased this helped!! It looks me so long to find out about those injections and as you saw / know this illness really limits your everyday life! Let he know how you get on! Good luck!! Xxx
Jaz Marc I have had chronic hives for 4 months again I sought treatment from a Chinese medicine doctor. I had it two years ago for 6months before and my Chinese doctor got rid of it. I can tell u why it's happening. It makes complete sense. My body had trapped blood that was not moving to my liver. As u know the liver filters clean blood. My doctor used acupuncture herbs and needle cupping to get that blocked toxic blood to go to my liver. Also the reason why the body is releasing histamines is because it's telling u some toxic blood in your body shouldn't be there. Trust me I've been three weeks going to the doctor and I finally have my life back. It's called blood stagnation in Chinese medicine. Seek out a Chinese doctor only. Not a naturopath I tried before and got no relie
Same.. sometimes i want to end my life because of this shit. my classmates would make fun of me. 😑😑
Man, I get it. I feel like i'm bitching because there are people with cancer and missing limbs and i'm complaining about a bit of itching but seriously, its hell. I just had about 3 or 4 good months but as soon as fall hit they came back again. I've tried steroids, didn't even help this time. its a mess.
Jaz Marc apparently it is a part of the lupus disease family but its the liver thats not functioning properly & its to do a detox...this is my 3rd ur now...very depressing 😢😢
I have it too. I've found some relief with cinnamon tea. I put 2 or 3 whole cloves in a cup of water, then I heat it in the microwave. I remove the cloves, then add the cinnamon tea bag, half a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, then sweeten to taste with raw honey. It helps me a lot. I still get occasional hives, but I can live with them.
omg I cried while watching this!! I’m going through exactly the same thing!! Thanks A TON for sharing! you gave me hope! :)
I've been dealing with chronic hives for a 5 or 6 months now and I'm getting a sample of xolair tomorrow. However, I'm scared about the price and if I'll have an allergic reaction. I also am just scared it won't work and I'll still be in pain. Your story has made me so sad and to think there are so others who have to go through this sucks 😦
yeah its horrible! Theres so many of us its scary! But good luck with the xolair! I hope it works for you x
Did the shot work?
😱 OMG! Thank you for sharing your story. This sounds like and looks like exactly what happened to me two days ago. I finished an extended water fast 3 days before this happened (16 days no food, just water). I was slowly integrating food back into my digestion system. I think this rash might be triggered by gluten so it might be celiac disease because (Wed evening) I ate some wheat flax crackers with homemade sunflower butter and the next day (Thurs afternoon) I noticed I started having a histamine itchy burning reaction on my lower legs. Thought maybe it was a reaction to big bite, didn’t pay attention, rubbed some coconut oil & tea tree oil on and went about my day. Later that day (Thurs evening) I ate fresh bread (pita / fresh restaurant pizza oven type bread) and humus the next day (Fri afternoon) I rushed home in the middle of the day ripping my clothes off to see why I was itching so badly and I saw that the rash spread to my hips and thighs especially the back of my legs and butt! For immediate relieve I could only think to get into a warm bath with lavender essential oil, apple cider vinegar & epsom salt! The rash calmed down, stopped itching and basically went away. After the bath, I rubbed myself down with hydrocortisone cream & lavender oil and for the next few hours no problem. It wasn’t until (Fri night) after munching on the left over bread & humus that the rash started to reappear a few hours later, woke me up in the middle of the night, that I made the “connection” between the rash and the bread!!! I started feeling a burning itching sensation on my arms then the red rash splotches & welts appeared on my arms, back and legs like your pictures! Wondering if this could be:
Urticaria, Atopic Dermatitis, Celiac disease - Gluten intolerance, leaky gut? Or something else. Before doing the water fast I didn’t have any reaction like this.
I know what you are going through. I want to make a video soon, but I dealt with hives for over 3 years to the point that it ruined my life. Chronic hives are miserable and would never wish them on anybody. Here is what I can recommend.
1. Eliminate all wheat/gluten (it took me 2 years to realize this because I've been eating it all my life and had never had a problem with it. As soon as I cut this out of my diet and all forms, my outbreaks were not as bad. I would be afraid to fall asleep because my throat would close up and would fear I would choke to death in my sleep. Yes it was that bad. Eliminating wheat was my greatest challenge because it is hard to stay disciplined and say farewell to your favorite foods, especially when you go out to eat with family and friends. I was in so much misery that it was worth it to do and would have done anything to get better, so I did. This cured about 75% of my hive problem surprisingly.
2. Try enemas. To make sure that all the wheat I was eating completely passed through my body, I would take an enema so no trace of gluten would be present. This was a miracle for me. It helped me flush out the toxins causing the reaction and ensured that my body was completely free of gluten and wheat when I first started or if I were to ever backslide and make a mistake eating. Yes, hidden ingredients, family cooking, and slipping up are a reality of going gluten free. Enemas will help it pass through you body much quicker.
3. ZYRTEC. THIS was a miracle for me and don't know what I would have done without it. It is my greatest relief yet greatest pain because it makes you super drowsy and tired. I don't know how this would work for you but this literally had saved my life in more ways than one. My face would puff out, my throat would close up, hives would cover my entire body and one or half of these pills would not only make the bumps go away but also the itching would subside. Everything else for allergies did not work for me. Zyrtec will help you get through those hard days or even times when you slip up while changing your diet. Slowly, I managed to wean myself off of it because I reached a point where I'm not as sick anymore.
4. Diatomacious Earth and Activated Charcoal. I spent years going through supplements trying to find the best ones. At the end of the day, none of them really worked. The only two are not supplements at all which are DE and charcoal. I would take 1 TBSP of DE before bed with Activated Charcoal tabs. This helped eliminate the toxins in my body and felt immediate improvement in the quality of my life. The symptoms of hives at this point were completely eliminated. No more ER visits.
Hang in there. Learn how your diet works and try some of these things. If you can afford it, a food sensitivity test helped me as well once I stopped eating wheat/gluten.
So you can eat eggs and milk? Please reply
Please share your experience
To anyone needing help, please ask natural doctors about prescribing you LDN (low dose naltrexone) it saved my life 5 years ago. Once you start it, NEVER go off of it. Because I’m in a position now where my hives came back after 5 years bc I stopped taking the LDN, so I’m starting from scratch again. But it worked the first time. I hope this helps you all. You are not alone. 🙏🏽
Thanks for sharing your story, I've had Idiopathic Chronic Ultercria since 2011 and this has been a journey I wouldn't wish this on my worst ENEMY!!!
I have a similar issue when I get hot, it comes and goes for months at a time, I've tried antihistamines, changing diet, changing environment - nothing helps. The itching is the worst, it's like being tickled with needles. And even when it's not there I'm afraid it will happen, like flinching when you think you're about to be hit. The only thing that helps me is to fight through the pain and force myself to sweat a lot, which stops the pain eventually.
MeSoyCapitan same with me and I have football this year and I don’t know if I can even play it bc of this 😔
@@uheikon1240 Have done a bit of reading around, apparently it's to do with pores being blocked causing pressure when you start to sweat which inflames your skin. Wondering if a steam room or sauna might help clear the pores. Best if luck to you finding your personal cure, still hunting for mine.
Uh Eikon has it gone away?

@@angelicareyes7295 I started taking Zyrtec and it COMPLETELY saved me 💖💕...I'm pretty much back to normal. And Benadryl itch stopping gel has helped as well.
I have had ICU for over 2 years now. I will not say that I am cured but I am 90% improved. Research ways to boost your DOA... this is the body's natural histamine downgrading enzyme. For me I am on a good Omega 3 supplement, a good multivitamin, Vitamin D, Slow Release Magnesium and a Iodine/Selenium combo supplement. These have all greatly helped me...Oh and I also take Sole (salt water) daily.
I hope this helps someone as much as it has helped me!

how you wean off antihistamine? tapering the dose?
Thank you my love your beautiful.. I've been suffering itchy skin for decade no doc can give me the right midsection.. Time for xolair..

Thank you so much for making this video, I’ve been on prednisone for 2 months and no improvements on my chronic urticaria. I’m at the point of depression and this video has given me hope. I will be going to the hospital tomorrow pushing for this and if not I will be going to a private clinic to push for it. This is not a good quality of life and way to live, and I’m at my last strings.
Glad to hear you're doing better. It's so scary dealing with all this. I been dealing with mast cell disoder symptoms for years now with rashes, hives etc. Did you gain weight off the levocetirizine?

Hi- I'm walking in your shoes right now---this is the second time in my life I've gone through this relentless allergy. I don't know if I could find the shots in the US--I haven't heard of them. I'm miserable. I just ordered one thing that helped me before- New Zealand Colostrum supplements. Not cheap. I can only hope. Over-active immune system- you hit it on the head. What started with a reaction to food color has blossomed into a beast!
I hope you can get some relief soon! X
Im like this since November last year I’m starring being depressed, I’m really bad
I'm glad people are not ashamed to show there skin_problems especially me, but mine is forgotten, someone linked me with a dermatologist and his good, solved my skin @graysom_autumn. His i.g handle.
Please don’t be ashamed
There’s nothing you can do
I have the same problem, apparently not as bad as you, but I've had this for about three years! I'm tired and frustrated with it! You've given me hope that there is something out there to help me! Thank you!
You are very welcome. I hope you get some help soon ❤️
Thank you, Sonja. Really appreciate your effort to help others with this problem.
It's been about 5 weeks from the first "itch" (upper, right thigh)...My body, at present, in engulfed in a red, patchy layer. I've gained close to 9 1/2 in two days from water retention...lower legs and belly are noticeably collecting fluid. Though not a big fan of doctors, I visited an urgent care facility, yesterday, and was giving a prednisone injection and prescribed additional steroid tabs, cream and antihistamines.
I, too, have researched this malady, extensively, and, similar to you, is willing to trying anything and everything...
My back data: I've had two previous episodes with hives. The last one was over 30 years, ago. It went away on its own.
I'm retired. 63 yo M. Health and fitness buff. 5'10", 170 lbs. May go out for a lunch or dinner at local restaurants, maybe, once every two or three months. I eat two meals a day (6 hrs eat: 18 hrs fast). 80% whole, fresh foods, little meat of any kind...clean, clean, clean. I reversed my Type 2 Diabetes, 12 years ago, and lost 44 lbs in the process and have maintained a preventative medicine lifestyle, ever since! I stopped testing blood sugar 5 years, ago, no need. I take no prescription meds of any kind. I haven't seen a physician (up until yesterday) in over three years. Again, no need. I haven't been sick in over 8 freaking years! I exercise 75 mins, daily, 365...
and, in December, I wake up, one night, scratching. What the hell! lol
I've always said to my wife and kids, "What doesn't kill us, only, makes us stronger!" Well, boys and girls, it's time for grandpa to dance to the music, again. "Face your fears, embrace the challenge!"
Fuck, my skin! "Over active immune system" (sorry, doctors), I ain't buying it!
I will study the results of my CBC panel, later this week, and go over it with a fine tooth comb. And, then, go from, there.
I asked the doc about Helicobacter Pylori but she told me my insurance will probably not cover that test (or C-Reactive Protein, either) but she did request a Thyroid panel for me. I know I don't have have an under active thyroid but what the hell.
It's only been 5 weeks. But, I don't want just a "treatment" that works. I don't want to take drugs, either. I really want to find root cause. I have a huge problem with conditions that just pop out of the blue and fade away by themselves, as mysteriously as they originated.
I appreciate your journey and your social conscious, Sonja. Kudos & Thank you so much for sharing, young lady!
...But, in the end, I really need to know what causes this. Because, in true medicine of the human body, you don't fucking "treat" disease. You take care of your body will conscientious diligence and allow it to do all the "treating", itself.
PS: I already fasted for 5 days on water and green tea, only. Condition worsened. And, I changed my laundry soap to All Free and Clear. No noticeable improvement, either.
It's been almost 4 days since I posted, above. My skin is healing, noticeably, each and every day.
The angiodema that made by belly and lower legs swell to nearly twice its normal size has almost entirely subsided. The itching when sleeping has been reduced by 80%. The inability to get sleep in the worst part of urticaria, Without sleep, your body can't repair damaged skin. I've stopped taking the prednisone, now, and, last night, was the first time in the last 10 days I was able to get more than a few hours sleep.
(PS: The hydroxyzine (aka benadryl) did nothing for my hives. They offered nothing in the way of itch relief.)
During these last four days, I've resummed my intermittent fasting regimen (no food after 2PM until 8AM, next day). Plus, I've resumed my normal consumption of 140 oz of water, every day. I also am back to my normal workout routines, as well. The bright side of urticaria, for me:
1. My face (aside from swelling of eyelids) was left untouched,and
2. My joints and muscles were unaffected by the allergic reaction so I was able to exercise throughout this awful ordeal.
Finger's crossed but, I believe, the worst is over. If I get a relapse, I'll be sure to post, back, additional observations. Going to see an allergist on Wednesday, just the same...
champy how did u get rid of it
@@rsthegoat4221 two possibles:
1. BPA (Bisphenol A), and
2. Mold
We discovered a slow leak under the slab of our home. One wall of our home had quadruple normal moisture content of the other walls. After re-piping our home and dehumidification, my rash finally disappeared. I can only surmise that mold may have played a role.
