I Get Itchy Hives and My Skin Stings When I Get Hot or Exercise
Now that winter temperatures are starting to hit most of the United States and other countries, I wonder how many people will start realizing that they have developed Cholinergic Urticaria for the first time? It seems that so many people first experience Cholinergic Urticaria symptoms during the winter or colder months. It almost always starts [...]
Apple Cider Vinegar for Eczema & Cholinergic Urticaria?
Hello Everyone! Can apple cider vinegar help cure cholinergic urticaria and eczema? I am trying this new “experiment” of putting apple cider vinegar on my skin to see if it will have any effect on my Cholinergic Urticaria. So far, it looks like the anti-candida treatment did virtually nothing for the hives. They are about the same. But hey, [...]
Buying My First House
Recently my wife and I have been so busy running back and forth, looking at houses, filling out applications, talking to realtors, and so much more. After searching and searching, I think we have finally found a house. This is great because my wife and I have been wanting a house for such a long [...]
Can Dr. Hulda Clark’s Parasite Zapper Cure Hives?
There have now been a couple of posts on the Cholinergic Urticaria forum (which I removed because it seemed spammy) about some “parasite zapper” that supposedly can cure or treat cholinergic urticaria hives (among other things). So I thought it was time to address this whole thing. After a quick search on the web, apparently [...]
Could a Sympathectomy Surgery Affect Cholinergic Urticaria?
Hello Everyone! I seen something on television today that made me wonder if it would in any way change Cholinergic Urticaria. First, let me say that I would not personally do this, and it may not work or have any effect at all. I just thought it was interesting & I would share it. Before [...]
Why Does Cholinergic Urticaria Go Away For Some People?
Note: This page contains 4 old posts merged into one. These posts deal with my “lamentations” of why my hives wouldn’t go away, and also offer a little hope in the form of another person who’s hives did eventually go away. At this time, my hives are still 100% under control. You can read about [...]
Cholinergic Urticaria At DollyWood Trip
Whew, my wife & I went to DollyWood yesterday with my nephew & his girlfriend. I had purchased my wife season tickets as a part of her graduation gift, and we finally had a chance to go for the first time this year. It was an absolute BLAST! I love that place. They have so [...]

This post contains all of the posts I’ve made in the past regarding my trials and experiments with diet. This page is massively long as a result, but I have left it here as an archive for reference and for anyone interested in reading through my past trials with hives and diet experiments.

My Wife Graduated from Nursing School, My Cholinergic Urticaria Was Okay
Whew! After 4 long years of struggling to get through school, my wife has finally graduated from Nursing School. She is now officially an R.N. (Registered Nurse).

Cholinergic Urticaria Hives Attack in My Sleep
It seems like when I first got cholinergic urticaria, I hardly ever had attacks in my sleep. In fact, over the past 3 years it hasn’t happened too often. Lately, however, it seems to be a relatively common occurrence. It is very annoying! Cholinergic Urticaria While Sleeping Just take last night for instance. I had [...]
Does A Humidifier and Heater Help Cholinergic Urticaria?
I was recently pondering Cholinergic Urticaria, and also the dryness in my own apartment (it gets extremely dry during the winter, and the hard water only makes it worse). I then remembered an interesting post someone had made on another forum in the past that I had stumbled across on the web. I have read [...]
Could Crohn’s Disease or Inflammatory Bowels Be Linked with Cholinergic Urticaria Hives?
My “stomach issues” always have me wondering if how they are connected with Cholinergic Urticaria. When my stomach feels bloated, achy, or crampy, I usually have a more intense level of hives. In contrast, when my stomach feels really great and my digestion is great as well, my hives seem to be a lot less [...]
Cause of Eczema Rash on Chest
Apparently there is some type of allergen in our apartment. I have often remarked in other posts how I sometimes get these very small patches of itchy skin (eczema). The patches themselves are barely noticeable, and only located on my upper arms. But they are there and always lightly itch. They always annoyed me, but [...]
New Survivor Show Has Disabled Cholinergic Urticaria Sufferer
I recently caught wind of an interesting new reality television show that will be taking place in the UK: Survivor, the disabled version! That’s right, it is just like survivor in the US, but with disabled contestants (and it is apparently a spoof). Odd, yes, but it also sounds interesting. What is even more interesting [...]
We Need a Celebrity or Entrepreneur with Cholinergic Urticaria
One thing that I have noticed is that celebrities can do so much to raise awareness, progress the treatments, research, and cures for diseases. The reason is that their fame and money play a huge role in getting attention and research to particular diseases. For example, Michael J. Fox (the actor from the Back to [...]

I Wish I Could Sweat Like Normal People Sweat

This page will explain some of my groaning when I couldn’t sweat, and some of my small triumphs of when I could finally sweat. It is important to keep in mind that I am now able to sweat regularly, [...]
