Also military and it began during a deployment. Would like to hear from anyone else military who has this urticaria. Trying to find a possible link as to where we were deployed to. Also have a friend who deployed with me and has the same symptoms though no diagnosis yet. Please can you leave a post.

The first time I had what I like to call an attack, my whole body welted up and I'm not talking about little welts it was like my body swelled up. After that it was on going anything I wore, my bra, my pants, it affected me from working and going to school. I couldn't sit down for a long period of time because the back of my knees and my thighs would get so bad and itch like crazy. I thought I had parasites for a long time. I would take a lot of Benadryl but that wore of real quick. I could not sleep at night, if I was on my back too long it would start. I could not sleep for nights and weeks. It seemed like the only way I would get sleep was by drinking myself to sleep since there was no other way. It wasn't great waking up with a hang over, but I was able to sleep. two years later I went to a dermatologist and he was not able to figure out what was wrong. He tried giving me everything that I had already tried and was just not understanding. So I went to this small clinic that my mother took me to and finally found an answer. He gave me something to help me sleep but not cure. It is frustrating to live with. It has been four years, and I just had a little girl. It was weird through my whole pregnancy it went away, I was fine. I got scared because I thought by my stomach stretching it would get worse. It's been a month and four days and its back, and trying to cope with it is hard especially with my baby. I never heard of any one ever having this disease besides myself and I really had no one to talk too or who could relate. I’ve had this for four years in the beginning it was too much to deal with.

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.

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. I too have had this problem since I was 16.

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 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 too have had this condition.
