My first cholinergic urticaria symptoms started in 2023. At the time, I was very physically active and deeply connected to sports and exercise, so suddenly developing urticaria completely changed my daily life and emotional state.
Over time, the condition became emotionally exhausting. I became afraid of heat, exercise, sweating, warm environments, and situations that could trigger breakouts. Even simple daily activities started creating anxiety and fear.
At the same time, I was also going through a very emotionally difficult period in my personal and family life. The emotional pressure, stress, conflicts, and constant mental tension slowly started affecting every aspect of my wellbeing.
While searching for answers and support, I came across Luis Monteiro and started following his Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment program. Throughout the process, he guided me with dietary recommendations, emotional guidance, and explanations that helped me better understand the connection between emotional imbalance, stress, and my symptoms.
Month after month, my urticaria episodes gradually became weaker and less frequent until disappearing completely. Slowly, I was able to return to exercise, physical activity, warm environments, and normal daily life again without fear.
One of the most emotional moments of my recovery was being able to enter a sauna again without having a breakout. I went in expecting to stay only a few minutes because of fear, but ended up staying much longer and realized I was finally recovering my confidence and my life again.
This battle also taught me how important emotional recovery is. Even after the physical symptoms disappeared, I still needed time to stop living in fear of new breakouts.
I remain deeply grateful to Luis Monteiro and to everyone who supported me throughout this journey.
Thank you all and have a blessed day.
