I just noticed that I can stand for hours in heat and sweat and do whatever I can until I’m not thinking about cholinergic urticaria or getting nervous, excited, emotional etc.
How’s this even possible? Why do I only get a breakout when I’m nervous and all?
It’s really weird that I can do whatever I want until that moment. It’s really weird.
Anyone?

Yeah getting nervous about it seems to bring it on more for me too. I have to fly this weekend for the first time since getting this and just the thought of being trapped in a plane and having an outbreak seems to bring one on.

Yes but you get it while you get hot too right? I don’t i never get it until i’m nervous and all.

Very weird indeed. My CU was triggered whenever my body heated up or I was in a warm area for too long but emotions such as stress, anger and even laughing would trigger an outbreak. I have no idea how those emotions cause it though unfortunately.

it is the same situation with me. I some times just like very little nervous i feel itchy immeditly. It is killing me. the only thing i can do for now is to cool my body and avoid to go out.

This is possibly the explanation:

Has to do with the hpa-axis, which is disregulated because of chronic stress

DutchUrticariaGuy – you da man
I also get it when stressed, usually Monday and Tuesday were semi stressful days for me, i ended up kicking a door through at work because it wouldnt open and my hives were going mental. The anger and stress combined with the itchiness/stinging made me explode a bit lol I just told the bosses i dont know who did it, they aren’t too bothered and there is noo CCTV there, so worry free again! lol
