How do you get a cold? And what causes the cold? Learn more about causes of the cold, and risk factors that you can avoid to prevent this illness....
You probably know many of the symptoms of a cold: sneezing, sore throat, a stuffy nose, and coughing. Do you know the difference between the flu vs. a cold?...

Hi

for the past 5 years i've been suffering from all of the above.

The urticaria specifically is cholinergic and dermographism.
Raynaud's comes on when I go outside in the cold for example my hands will turn white, and then blue/purple and then flush bright red!
Vascilitis - mainly noticeable on my hands. When I make a fist with my hands my bloody vessels are all inflamed and red! I also have this round the bottom of my nostrils.
Dry skin - gets very itchy right after a hot shower/bath. Less so when the water is cooler. Swimming in a pool causes my skin to become very dry and itchy as a result of this.
Mouth ulcers - these are not painful but persistent, I cant seem to get rid of them. There severity varies, but they are always present.
Mild acne - although mild is persistent and annoying. When combined with the flushing caused by the chonilgeric urticaria I look damn ugly :oops: just like that :lol: I have to laugh otherwise i'll cry!

All these symptoms came on directly after I treated myself for scabies with derbac m lotion (contains malathion). There is no doubt in my mind that this pesticide was the cause!

I've been put on anti-histimines and recently discovered that treating myself for candida has helped my acne problems. Anti-histimines help the urticaria somewhat, but what about all the other problems

what do all these symptoms point to? After researching a bit I came up with auto-immune thyroid problems and lupus.

I recently had a blood test at the hospital for thyroid function, and my doctor told me if any abnormal comes up he would contact me. That was a couple of months ago so I assume everything was "normal".

Does anyone have any ideas? Suggestions? I'd just like to say my life has been hell ever since; had to give up all sports, loss of confidence, depression, anxiety etc... Just looking for answers. A bit desperate.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Yes I had 1 mercury filling and that was replaced a couple of months ago. I have just started taking an msm supplement and noticed an improvement!
