Delayed Pressure Urticaria Treatment and Cures
Question
I have suffered from delayed pressure urticaria for last three years.
No one can explain why or how I got it (no family history).
I figure it came about from war zone inoculations. It’s a quality of life issue now, as I can no longer golf, workout, run, or wear any clothing that is too tight. Medical people just want to throw pills at symptoms. I’m looking for something to cure. Can you suggest anything?
Dr. Leia’s Answer
Dear Robert,
Delayed pressure urticaria is a form of hives or swelling, edema or redness of the skin due to some form of pressure exerted upon the skin. Other than allergies, it is not known what causes this more persistent and severe type of urticaria. Most doctors find this condition difficult to treat.
Considering that you were in the war zone and were exposed to lots of toxins in both the atmosphere and through inoculations, you might be having a reaction to toxic pollution and exposure. So the holistic approach would be to find out what toxins are present in your body, and then do a detoxification protocol specifically designed to remove those substances. There are several methods of testing for toxic substances in the body:
- Hair mineral analysis to test for toxic metals present in the body tissue stores.
- Urinary challenge tests for heavy metals and other organo-substances.
- Oxidative stress and antioxidant testing.
- Organo-chemical and petro-chemical testing.
- Liver function and detoxification testing.
If you live in an area where naturopathic doctors are present, these doctors can order the above tests for you, interpret them, and then develop a protocol for your particular situation. Sometimes other alternative health and nutritional practitioners may also have a working knowledge of these tests.
If it is not possible for you to visit one of these practitioners, I would recommend that you seek out body detoxification products which will help you to cleanse and detox the body, especially the liver, then after your cleansing regimen use antioxidants and immune builders to restore health and vitality to the body. You might also want to seek out an acupuncturist who may be able to assist you in balancing your body’s energy, increase your circulation, and strengthen your immune system.
Best regards in your endeavors.

I too have had this condition. I had it for two years straight, and nobody could tell me what was going on. I had been in the Army for six years and even as I was trying to get out, they were still giving me Anthrax, Yellow Fever, Small Pox and so on. My unit was getting ready to deploy, and I was not going. But I still received everything a soldier would before they deploy. I had this unexplainable condition you call Urticaria. It would not leave my body for over two years. I tried everything, and I felt my immune system was compromised. I used two medications at the same time, given to me by a doctor I worked for. I also did a cleanse and a special diet without sulfite or food preservatives. It started working, and I now, after four more years, do not have the condition. I still get signs of it coming on, and I stop eating or drinking whatever would cause these symptoms to appear again. Then they would not come back.
I have delayed pressure angioedema mostly in my hands and feet for more than a decade now, it occurred on the onset of my menopause. It is debilitating. I was a very active and energetic individual. I can not exercise or even have long walks right now, parking lot to building is the extend of my daily walk. I have tried antihistamines, and they worked only for a short period of time. I am not using anything right now. I changed my life style to a very sedentary life style to accommodate my illness.
I too have had this problem since I was 16. I would not suggest immune system enhancers as it seems to often be an autoimmune response. This is why medical doctors use steroids, or immunosuppressants, to control the disease. Detox could be very useful but without a known trigger, immune system enhancers are a terrible suggestion.
Hi Maria, I believe Dr. Leia pointed out that a person would have to be tested to find out what was causing the problem first. She states this in the second paragraph. Also later she mentions a detox program could be a good idea after the problem triggers have been found. In addition, she does not suggest using immune system enhancers until the detox has been completed. I personally have suffered from some of the side effects of steroids and feel that an alternative treatment is most welcome.
