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!
