Urticaria while in the military and medications

January 29, 2017 by Forum Member

I’ve only been having symptoms for about 2 months, and was diagnosed by my doctor 2 weeks ago. My symptoms are triggered very easily. I experience hives with physical heat, stress and anxiety. Even the slightest feeling of anxiety triggers itching.

My two questions are anybody’s experience with cholinergic urticaria in the military? I will be separating in 6 months, so not worried about a medical discharge. More curious about VA info and or disability.

Also, my doctor prescribed Claritin, and I would like to know if 2 weeks is long enough to know if it’s working or if I need to try something new, because it has had no positive impact.

Thank you,

Dave

    I received a medical discharge for my Cholinergic Urticaria. I was rated with a 10% service-connected disability through the VA. I am able to receive care for my CU through VA health care. Medicines may work for some and not others. You will just have to continue working with doctors to find what is right for you. Good luck.
