My first solar urticaria symptoms started in 2023. Over time, the condition completely changed my daily life and emotional wellbeing.
Before starting treatment, I could barely leave the house during the day because sunlight and heat triggered very strong reactions. The episodes were extremely intense, with severe discomfort and unbearable itching that sometimes forced me to lie down on a wet floor just to try to calm the reactions while waiting for them to disappear.
At the same time, I was also going through a very emotionally difficult period involving family problems, emotional exhaustion, isolation, and constant stress, which slowly started affecting every aspect of my life.
While searching for answers and support, I came across Luis Monteiro and started following his Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment program. After beginning treatment, I slowly started noticing important changes in my body and symptoms. The reactions became weaker, less frequent, and far less aggressive than before.
Today, although I still consider myself in recovery, I can already say that my life has changed enormously. The reactions that still appear are now mild, without the intense itching and strong body heat I used to experience before treatment.
One of the happiest moments during this process was the birth of my second son, Arthur, in April 2025. Becoming a father again gave me even more strength and motivation to continue fighting for my recovery and quality of life.
Today I feel hopeful, emotionally stronger, and confident that I am finally on the right path toward complete recovery.
Thank you, Luis. You are and always will be the best.
