Chronic urticaria is one of the most debilitating and disheartening conditions anyone can have. Waking up day in and day out with embarrassing itching, aches and redness, and inflammation will gradually drain your life. You can't get comfortable. Your concentration is drawn. You never feel normal.
It's true that idiopathic urticaria (the medical term for hives) is usually not fatal. But the non-stop itching and welts can wear you out. You can't enjoy your favorite things. You suffer month after month and find yourself losing hope of improving yourself.
