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.

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.

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 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.
