Cholinergic Urticaria

My Cure of Cholinergic Urticaria (Chiropractor)

by

I have never posted on a forum before, but I felt compelled to share my story after my experience with Cholinergic Urticaria.
I had suffered from urticaria for around 3 and a half years. It was unbearable, causing itchiness on my scalp, chest, cheeks, and fingers. I loved being physically active, and this had really taken a toll on my life.

I tried about every allergy medicine I could find, yet nothing was helping. There was no true cure available in the medical world. Several months ago, I was having a conversation with my best friend and his dad, who is one of the best in his occupation in my city. His occupation: a chiropractor. When I was explaining what cholinergic urticaria was to them, he confidently spoke out that he can help me with that. He explained to me that it is indeed a medical mystery that the cause of histamine being released in effect of acetylcholine present at the sweat glands, but it is not however a mystery to fix it.

He explained that an imbalance of hormones and neurotransmitter scan cause many symptoms throughout the body. Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter at the sweat glands, and he explained that too much or too little of the chemical can cause side effects, and that his cervical work and brain stem adjustments could easily do the trick.

I went to the chiropractor weekly, where he adjusted me and explained that things were feeling better each time, and even though I still feel the symptoms, my body is in a healing state, which means that the healing comes in the short future. After several weeks of chiropractic treatment, I noticed one day mowing the lawn in the heat that my head was not itching as it normally does. I was ecstatic. Over the weeks my head had gone from unbearable, to sucky, to tolerable, to diminished. I have been urticaria free for a few months now!

It’s an amazing feeling being free from this, and I still go to the chiropractor every other week for adjustments, due to the healthy lifestyle it helps provide. I am so grateful that my body has healed, and I really felt compelled to share this story with you. My advice to those suffering would be to look into a few things. One, a well known, established chiropractor. One who does his job for the love of helping people and the love of his job, rather than for the money and a lack of passion.

The second would be to look into the Law of Attraction, as I do believe this helped immensely. The last thing would be to look I to developing a healthier lifestyle, one full of all Essential vitamins and nutrients. I hope this post was helpful for any of those in need of help. I hope to hear more stories of cured urticaria!

Yours truly,

Ryan

  1. Thanks for sharing this interesting experience! I’m glad that your hives appear to be healing. The only thing I’d caution is this: You said it’s only been like this a few months, and that you started sweating while mowing the lawn. A lot of people experience seasonal cholinergic urticaria (only during winter months), so it is possible that you started sweating and that it is in remission for the season, and that the chiropractor sessions are coincidental.

    I hope that’s not the case, but it’s something to consider if they come back or get worse later on. I do know someone in my family that had a lot of indigestion issues that chiropractor visits greatly helped, but I’ve never heard of it helping cholinergic urticaria or any other hives disorder. Nevertheless, keep us updated on how it continues. Either way, it’s exciting that you’re getting your life back!

    • Very good points, but having suffered for 3 and a half years, I know that it has not been seasonal. Any time my body temperature would rise, the hives would kick in, no matter what time of year, although usually the summer has been worse due to the hot weather. I’m assuming the chiropractic visits have not been coincidental, due to the fact that he has helped numerous people with various types of hives. He is a specialist in cervical work and the brain stem,meaning a specialty of control over the autonomic and parasympathetic nervous system

  2. Chiropractic hasn’t helped me. I go every other week and I was going before I got this condition two years ago.

    • Have you specifically brought this condition up to your chiropracter and explained the process of chemicals that are happening during urticaria? A good chiropracter should know all about the workings and control of acetylcholine. Also, brain stem adjustments aren’t typically every other week.. Neurological activity greatly increases when the body enters a healing state, which does so from frequent visits such as weekly. I would talk to your chiropracter about it.
