Hi. Been suffering from cholinergic urticaria for a year now, and I was losing hope. Went to doctors and one of the doctors I went to actually has cholinergic urticaria, and she said there wasn’t a cure. She takes prednisone which helps her but certainly not a cure. I used to be quite active running marathons and working out […]
Do I have heat hives?
Okay, so I’m not quite sure what I have–it’s just that when I get hot for any reason, I start getting itching all over my body. The itching is really bad, and I also get some minor itch on my scalp. The itching is like a needle itch–a little prickly. But like others here I don’t get […]

My life living with cholinergic urticaria, cold urticaria, exercise induced anaphylaxis, and dermagraphism
I have had my conditions since I was 9 years old. Nothing like telling a 9 year old that you’re not allowed to run anymore, or get too hot, too cold, or wear any clothing that is too rough. I have the urticaria’s severely. If I get too hot or too cold, quickly change in temperature, […]

I had a quick question: Can an anti-histamine like Cetirizine aggravate cholinergic urticaria conditions? I ask because soon after I started having it, my urticaria went to a next level and started showing small red bumps on arms, neck and back!! Earlier I only used to feel the itch and no visual symptoms! -Shashank
Hives and Xolair Infusion
Anyone had experience with monthly injections of Xolair? It is a treatment now approved for ‘off label’ use for chronic hives.

I appreciate any thoughts. -Bess

I have had cholinergic urticaria for over 5 years now, and every year isn’t any better than the last.
