Hello Everyone! I have really been thinking about this sweat gland occlusion thing since I last made a post about sweat gland obstruction. It seems to me like there has to be something clogging our pores. After all, most of us can’t sweat unless we get REALLY hot. Also, when I have a Cholinergic Urticaria […]

I think we can all agree that Cholinergic Urticaria is a sweat issue (at least in part).  However, could one of the causes maybe caused by one of the following conditions: Miliaria Rubra, Crystalline, and Profunda. Most of us have a major issue sweating. I know that I personally cannot sweat in most cases unless the […]

As always, I am thinking of potential theories of what causes cholinergic urticaria. As most of you know who read the blog & forum regularly, I am hoping sunlight exposure has something to do with it.

My Toes Cramp A Lot One thing I have noticed is that my toes seem to cramp quite a lot. They don’t do it all the time, but sometimes (usually at night when I am about to go to sleep), they will suddenly cramp up. I hate it. It has happened the past couple of […]

When thinking about my cholinergic urticaria (heat hives), I try to be as analytical as possible in trying to understand what happens in my body. I feel that the more I understand, the better chances I have of trying to control reactions, and hopefully one day be cured of this terrible condition.  Again, please remember […]

I noticed today that I have a skin condition known as Keratosis Pilaris. I think I may have found another thing some cholinergic urticaria sufferers have in common. What is Keratosis Pilaris or “Chicken Skin?” Keratosis Pilaris is a genetically inherited skin condition in which “bumps” can appear on certain parts of the skin. It […]

It seems like when I first got cholinergic urticaria, I hardly ever had attacks in my sleep. In fact, over the past 3 years it hasn’t happened too often. Lately,  however, it seems to be a relatively common occurrence. It is very annoying! Hives in My Sleep Just take last night for instance. I had felt […]

Hello Everyone! As I have been talking about for a while now, it seems that many people get relief from cholinergic urticaria during the summer months. There are many reasons why this could be happening. For example: They could be simply avoiding indoor allergens, they could be getting more Vitamin D and other vitamins from […]

Hello Everyone! A while back I had mentioned that my mom had a friend whose husband has had cholinergic urticaria on and off.  He has never been diagnosed with Cholinergic Urticaria, instead the diagnosis was “dry heat allergy.” But his symptoms are basically Cholinergic Urticaria symptoms so I assume that is what he has. Anyways, […]
