Hi everyone,i have suffered with chronic urticaria for 15years,it seem so unfair that there is no cure for this condition, most days i have weals all over my body, that itch like hell.

After several visit to doctors and dermalologist,im still none the wiser as why this happens to me.I have tried several antihistamines and creams but nothing seems to work for me. I have had the rash all over my body, some days i hate myself,and i get so depressed,i cry alot too,having to care for two children sometimes seems challenging for me,good job i have a understanding partner. when my children ask mummy why are you always like this,i have no answers for them.

i find a cold shower helps,but the rash always return back with a vengence.

Im so glad i found this site,i was being to think i was the only one who suffered from this disease.

God bless you all,and take care.

Love Roz

    Hi,

    I know you will have probably tried everything already but i have put some suggestions in my comment dated 26th July. I know it can get you down some days more than others but as there is no cure we just have to put up with it. I love the summer but pray for winter when i get a bit of relief from it as the hot weather makes it worse for me.

    keep your chin up and if you want to email me direct ask a moderator for my email address as they wont allow me to put it on the forum.

    take care

    Michelle

    I've also suffered from this condition on and off for the majority of my life (almost the last 20 years). I was generally able to take antihistamines and found relief.

    However, lately nothing seemed to work and I felt as if I was going insane. They were everywhere, all day, every day. I tried about 6 different antihistamines but they did nothing. My previous specialist recommended taking a H1 and H2 antagonist at the same time. I don't know if you've ever tried this.... But it works for me. Using a regular antihistamine (telfast or fexofenadine hydrochloride) with a H2 blocker (pepcidine or famotidine twice a day- only available with prescription) has completely cleared my rashes.

    I can only hope that perhaps this something you haven't tried and that this message may give you some relief.
