I have been suffering from Chronic Urticaria
I have been suffering from Chronic Urticaria since July this year and never had them before.. 🙁 I have seen my doctors who first gave me steroids and antihistamines.. I didn’t want to stay on steroids so took myself to a Naturopath.. Who then diagnosed me with leaky gut so put on a mixer of aloe vera juice to drink and her blend of marshmallow, licorice and slippery elm. This actually did start to clear it up along with a low histamine diet but I did get about 4/5 weeks hive free.. But it came back and I did have an appointment lined up with a dermatologist (booked in August but waited till December.. NHS waiting times. Still grateful not having to pay out to see someone privately) where I was formally diagnosed with Spontaneous Chronic Urticaria. Now I’m on a new antihistamine and anti allergy tablets 4 times a day.
I’ve moved house twice this year and lost my mother in law so I think stress may be a big contribution along with an allergy to tomatoes.. Sorry for such a long post.. Its weirdly conforming knowing others are going though the similar thing. I’m hoping there a light at the end of this itchy tunnel.

Pam Kolpack Simmons Ever had a blood test or skin patch test?
Loretta Dubroc Jeansonne Which anti histimines are you on?
Iverica McDonough I don’t even take any meds anymore. I do a detox and that clears me within 24 hours. Whatever I’m allergic to I poop it out
Amy Glatter Goodman Iverica McDonough How long does it stay away after a detox?
Iverica McDonough Amy Glatter Goodman mine usually go away after 24 hrs. Like right now I took detox pills but I have some bumps on my legs. Not bad but I’m sure it will be all gone by Tomorrow
Emily Walden Gibson I’ve had it for 4 years and ilaris is the only thing that has worked for me. It’s 2 injections every 8 weeks.
Vivienne Sinclair-Phillips I was exactly like this – max dose of antihistamines that seemed to do little to nothing. So decided to take myself off them and see what happens – figured – Ive been covered from scalp to soles of feet so I know bad and I got through that. Anyway… nearly a week on and hives are way better – only a few new ones each day as opposed to hundreds, am taking high dose vitamin C as read it was a natural histamine blocker, taking probiotic as all immunity comes from gut as we know, drinking lots of water with electrolytes added when I remember and going in the ocean as much as I can. I now have hay fever quite bad but figure that is a low level histamine response right? Oh and organic coconut oil that I but at the supermarket. Lots of that all over me. face, legs, feet arms head everywhere. Good luck!
Hopefully you can see the hives
My daughter’s entire body some swelling on the right side of her face.
