Question suffering from urticaria for around a year, help me.

Hi,

I am male aged 23, i have been suffering from urticaria, with hives on all over my body, sometimes with itching and four times i faced lip swelling. i tried allopathy but the doctor said i have to use them continuously, i asked the doctor about the permanent cure, but to me surprise i got the reply "it can not be cured permanently by these medicines".

i heard that homeopathy is the right medicine for these and used them, they worked well for two months but after stopping the medicine by the doctors advice i got them again but with a bit severe this time and not under control of the medicine i used earlier. so doctor changed the medicine but of no use.first i used Rhustox and sulphur, and the changed medicine is Apis and Sulphur. i just searched for the right medicine, now i am using homeopathy medicine., they are also not working for me. still i am getting them.

i got worried after seeing some threads in this board, they may become severe. please let me know a right solution and save me from this problem.

i dont think that this came from the food i take. usually i get them at night and they will disappear after some time, most of the hives coming are in my skin color and with irregular shape and size. when ever they start coming i started taking cetrizine or Avil (Anti histamines). is there any way to stop these with or without medication let me know. i am a pure vegetarian and i dont smoke and drink, i dont have any asthama related problems.

Thanks And Reagards,

Kiran

Re: suffering from urticaria for around a year, help me.

Hi kiran,

When a person has urticaria it is very hard to find what works best to stop it from happening. Basicly it is keep on searching until you find what works. The only problem is after a while your body will build up an immunity to what ever you find that works. I have done a lot of research on urticaria because I grew tired of never getting answers from doctors.

For one it is very difficult to pinpoint what is causing the reactions because it seems like you are reacting to everything. What happens is that a chain reaction begins to happen the more you have reactions and you build up what is called an over accumulation of mast cells which in turn makes the body produce a lot of IgE anti-bodies and then you have an all out war inside you.

I don't have a lot of time to go into this but I will get back to you very soon. I suffered from urticaria, and delayed pressure urticaria along with a lot of other allergies for five years and I am now so far for almost a year free of it. I will help you all I can and mabe what worked for me might work for you.

Re: suffering from urticaria for around a year, help me.

Hi kiran and sorry you have joined the rest of us. No cure, yet. That is right but there may be some things you could try to help you. I had the best luck with sulfasalizine and am now doing Neoral. I will add more about that on the other thread later but wanted to say hi to ya. Not sure what country you live in so the meds there may be different than the states.

Well, Hogey. I have been wondering what happened to ya. Nice to see you are still alive. Figured you had left this board for good. I'm well into 3 years of urticaria now and still waiting on your wise words. So come on, spill the beans. Whats you magic potion that fixed your mast cells? I'm a waiten. I am heading to Florida this week so hurry up would ya. Gonna go see if I can catch a gator or two while I am there.

Re: suffering from urticaria for around a year, help me.

Hello Hairdoer,
Sorry to hear that you are still suffering, and yes it has been a long time since I have been here. I had to reregister to so I could post again. Well, to the point. I know it has been a while but I did post a lot of my research on what I did to help mysefy get rid of the urticaria. Remember I posted about enzymes and amino acid.

All the answers are in those posts about what to do. You have to get your body in balance. I know it sounds weird, but think about it, you have had every test done under the sun and still no answers, but logic dictates that something has got to be wrong so what does someone do if there is no cause found? You do the only thing you can, you start by getting your body back in balance. It doesn't matter if you don't know what is causing it because once balance is restored you body will fix itself.

Start out with the enzymes. amylease, protease, lypase, lactase. Don't take any vitamines at first, just the enzymes. Give it about six weeks, see if there is any improvement. If there is that means your body is beginning to digest and absorb nutrients better. once that happens then start slowly introducing vitamines. Make sure that what you are taking is as allergy free as possible, including the enzymes. Watch your diet. Try just eating one kind of food for a few days. if you are still breaking out try another kind of food.

You see once you have an over accumulation of mast cells your body begins to react aginst almost everything. You first have to get those down.
Well I hope that helps. you can still find my research if you go back through the posts. And to answer a question to the last person who posted in that thread. Yes enzymes are in pill form.

By the way I have been Hive free for almost a year now.
