My first urticaria symptoms appeared in July 2021.
What started as chronic spontaneous urticaria quickly became one of the most difficult experiences of my life. The condition was severe and unpredictable, and I also experienced episodes of angioedema that became frightening enough to require emergency medical attention.
The impact on my life was enormous. Like many people with chronic urticaria, I was told that there was no solution and that I would likely need long-term medication to manage the symptoms. At that point, I felt overwhelmed, frightened, and uncertain about the future.
Before developing urticaria, I had already spent many years carrying a great deal of responsibility. I was always trying to take care of everyone around me, often placing the needs of family, work, and other people ahead of my own wellbeing. Over time, the emotional burden became heavier and heavier.
One month after the symptoms began, I found Luis Monteiro and decided to start treatment.
From the very beginning, I committed myself fully to the process. I followed every recommendation and every step of the Traditional Chinese Medicine program, which included emotional guidance, diet, Chinese phytotherapy, and acupuncture.
As the months passed, the improvements became increasingly clear. My symptoms gradually reduced, my emotional state improved, and my confidence slowly returned.
Throughout the treatment, I also completed multiple food and medication tests without experiencing any return of symptoms.
When I first started treatment, I was taking daily antihistamines and had also required corticosteroids. As my condition improved, I gradually reduced my medication under medical supervision until I no longer needed any medication at all.
The symptoms disappeared completely and Luis closed my case.
Today I feel free from the condition that once controlled my life.
I can enjoy my family, make plans, work, travel, and live normally without fear of urticaria or angioedema returning.
Looking back, I am deeply grateful for everything I learned throughout this journey. The treatment helped me regain my health, my confidence, and my quality of life.
Most of all, I am grateful to Luis Monteiro for believing in me, guiding me throughout the process, and helping me achieve something I once thought was impossible.
To everyone still going through treatment, stay patient, trust the process, and keep moving forward. Recovery is possible.
