Hello! My name is Marisa and I am a current high school senior in North Carolina. Through this blog, I aim to share my story, as well as tips I’ve found work best to combat the symptoms of chronic urticaria. Most importantly, I provide accessible resources for further help, including links to specialized organizations rather than broad clinical websites, because no one deserves to struggle finding community.
Although battling chronic hives is never simple, I’ve thankfully been in remission for the last three months since a flare this past summer. I’ve learned how to manage my hives now that I’ve received proper guidance from my doctors and focused more on my overall health instead of stressing factors I cannot control. In no way am I trying to offer official medical advice, these are just personal findings that may be similar to your situation. I hope you can walk away from reading my blog with a new outlook, tip, or feeling more positive about being part of the chronic urticaria community!
