Cholinergic Urticaria

What would happen if I keep going?

by

Every time I get the hives, it is in response to sweat. I have more than a month without sweat, and I am afraid because this is so painful and itchy at the same time.

But what would happen if I make an effort and keep myself going until I literally can’t do more? Am I going to get to sweat? Or, what else can happen?

  1. The worst-case scenario is that you’ll have a severe anaphylactic reaction and die. The best-case scenario is that you’ll get itchy for a few minutes, then finally sweat a bit. I wouldn’t recommend trying it until you first do the following:

    1. Check with a doctor to make sure it’s safe for you to try it (and perhaps have an Epi-Pen on standby, just in case).
    2. Have someone in the house with you for safety.
    3. I have made a video about how I started to exercise. I did not push myself too hard. I would exercise until I got a bit itchy, then stop. Then, once the itching stopped, I’d start again. I kept doing that until I could finally get sweat out.

  2. Okay Yeah what Hivesguy just said is true ! you don’t have to force it further the moment you start feeling that you are done now .
    Eat more onion and drink more water .
    Try to cover yourself up at night with multiple layers so that you can sweat easily .
    think it as if you have to break the barrier once and next day , you will be feeling way better and you will be able to sweat easily .
    Just keeping yourself cool throughout the day is like taking antihistamines -step to prevent itching not TO STOP IT !! remember that
    So sweat !!!
