Cholinergic Urticaria

Some questions about your cholinergic urticaria

by

Hi, I’ve recently written a post about my cholinergic experience, but now I would like to ask you some questions about our hives:

1. Do antihistamines work for you? I’ve heard that combination therapy can help. If so, which antihistamines are best?
2. Do you have any other skin conditions like keratosis pilaris, acne or eczema?
3. What kind of tests can be helpful in finding the cause of cholinergic urticaria? My doctor said that I should check if I have celiac disease.

Thanks in advance,

  1. 1. Antihistamine does not work for me.
    2.eczema once in a blue moon.
    3. Go see an allergist that’s how I found out. I doubt it’s celac disease. But you never know you can try. With mine it’s stress and heat that cause it. Soy break outs last between 3-6 months. Sometimes something you eat can trigger it too doesn’t mean your allergic to it. I try and do a cooling. Which means cooling my blood. I grate carrots and boil it. Use the carrot water for 9 days then purge with castor oil. I believe that this choinergical urticaria Happens when the blood stream needs cleaning.

  2. Bueno una vez mas escribore en español no tengo tiempo de traducir sorry

    1. No sirven para nada
    2.no
    3 es casi imposible determinar la causa de esta enfermedad demoniaca, osea los avances medicos aun no pueden curar esto, no pueden hacerlo , que en 100 años ya tendra cura esta basura? Que debo hacer? Mi cuerpo quiere que le de un balazo solo asi dejara de reaccionar al calor

  3. 1. Somewhat, but in reality no, I think they’ve made them less intense, but I still get ‘attacks’ 3-4 times a day

    2. Keratosis pilaris – noticed this a few months ago, when I was younger, I remember my mum telling me that she could smell ketones in my urine. Then I had sauna a few months ago and noticed these bumps, then I noticed that I’d always had them come and go around my eyes. I don’t know whether its just my chemistry or diet. Eczema came along with this condition, I ‘manage’ it through moisturising & diet.

    3. Personally I think its pretty obvious if you have it, its unmistakable when you start to heat up, cant sweat as well and break out in itchy hives. Allergist will diagnose as will a doctor. To test go for a run in fleece and see if you’re itchy all over and have raised bumps.

  4. Antihistamines don’t completely work for me. I’ve been taking one Zyrtec and 15mg lanzoprazole before bed and that only gives me about a 3 minute window once I’m outside. It’s just enough so that I can sort of maintain slight sanity.

    I don’t think I have any other skin conditions but I’m honestly not completely sure.

    I actually do have celiac disease, and I have had it since I was 14. However, urticaria started six year later (I’m almost 21 now). I don’t think they seem to be very related. As in, if I consume gluten, I don’t have more CU attacks than normal, but if I eat like pineapples or strawberries etc, then I have many more CU attacks. It’s worth trying a week without gluten though. You never know.

  5. 1. Barely
    2. I had acne
    3. If you get hives when you feel hot, you likely have it, but get a diagnosis from a doctor and let the guide you when it comes to medication

  6. 1. Yes, fexofenadine hydrochloride works for me
    2. Never had acne but still get some spots on face (22 years old)
    3. No
