Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 Hey Jackie, Thanks for the news. Maybe the word is getting out to people. This is what it will take for Dr. to realize that this is something real. Now more people see that their CU is not something to be afraid to talk about. I feel maybe a cure is ahead. Thank you for everything you do for us. Love Carolyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 Hi Jackie Thanks for the information, although it's not really a cause for celebration. I was wondering if membership has increased dramatically over the last year, and also wondering why this would be...........I hope we aren't going to have an explosion of itchy people all around the world, for reasons unknown. Someone raised this before, but do we know how long chronic urticaria has been around? When was it first documented in medical books? Maybe this sort of information might give us some clues.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 I agree, this many sufferers is not a reason to celebrate. BUT, I take this as a sign that people that are in need of support are now FINDING us, and that is indeed a good thing. Since we moved to yahoo groups, I've noticed the membership has steadily climbed, and many of our newer members are long-time sufferers.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 I agree Jackie, thank goodness we have each other to fall back onto. If it weren't for all the people here, I wouldn't have had some relief, everyone here has helped me 100% more than the 5 doctors that I went to ! Thank all of the moderators and co-moderators for all you do to make this possible !

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 What a nice big family we have!!!! Hopefully amoung as are some doctors that need a bit more knowledge to help sufferers find relief and a cure. It is a blessing that now 500 people know they are not alone ) To those of you that started this group, I am forever grateful.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 When I started getting hives I heard from all sorts of people who knew someone who had hives that wouldn't respond to treatment. I asked my allergist if he thought there was a recent upsurge in this syndrome, his reponse was " It's like when you get a new car -- all of a sudden you see that kind of car all over the place. " Still, I'm not sure ..... > Re: NCU - a Milestone! > > Hi Jackie > Thanks for the information, although it's not really a cause for > celebration.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 That's amazing that you heard of people having this. When I mention it, most people just think it will go away with no meds and then there are other's who say it's (especially my mother in law !) probably bad nerves! That just makes me so upset ! If that's all it were, it would be so simple. I have heard of people breaking out in hives, but then it going away, but not like mine. In fact my doctors are using my case in a lecture they are giving. I live in a fairly small area with small towns that are within driving distance of each other. So maybe it's just because of my area. It seems like it's a growing problem. Good luck !

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 I do live in a growing suburban area near a large metropolitan city, but it seems that about 1 out of 10 people I talk to know someone in my situation. Of course I've never actually met someone with non-ending hives (except on this forum). > RE: NCU - a Milestone! > > That's amazing that you heard of people having this.
