Did you know that today, October 1st, Urticaria Day is celebrated? This date is celebrated in several countries. It is very important for us to pay attention to a day like this to give more visibility to the topic and draw attention to the misinformation that still exists.
Many people live with hives right now and still don't know what they have. They live in an intense search for diagnosis and many people give up seeking help.
As you know, 3000dias has been fighting for quality information focused on urticaria since 2016 and in that time we find many patients who are giving up treating their disease. That is very dangerous. Because the way out of treatment and medical monitoring is self medication, since urticaria, especially the spontaneous type (SCU), persists for several days.
Every year here at 3000dias we make a special video for Urticaria Awareness Day, and we explore several topics.
In 2016 we made a short motion-style video to explain the disease in a simple way, what it is, how it happens and what the symptoms are. Click here to check out the video.
Later, in 2017 we made a special video discussing the importance of the skin, as the largest organ in the human body and that there are many people affected by skin diseases right now. You can watch this video in this link.
Em 2018 nós trabalhamos com um conteúdo especial voltado ao problema do diagnóstico – que na maioria das vezes é exaustivo e demorado – num vídeo especial falando sobre o tempo. Click here to watch.
Last year we decided to give special emphasis to the emotional factors that are negatively aggravated in those who live with skin issues, including hives. This video was fundamental, because from it we decided to extend the discussion further to the project Beyond the Skin – uma iniciativa do 3000dias focada em falar sobre impacto emocional na vida de quem convive com doenças de pele. You can see last year's video here.
This year we realized the importance of talking about patient role, porque é dele o despertar para sua melhora. Vivemos num mundo em que as pessoas estão saturadas em atividades que exigem tudo de si. E muitas vezes essa pressa, correria faz com que não “sobre tempo” para se priorizar. O cuidado médico e a busca pela saúde sempre serão assuntos relevantes. A eficácia do tratamento da urticária existe, mas muitos ainda não estão atentos com o cuidado de si.
And that's why this year our theme is focused on talking about the resumption of this action by the patient, who needs to be the first to believe, invest and dedicate themselves to their improvement. Looking for help, treatment and control of your symptoms.
We know that treating your illness and finding relief is not at all about you.. It involves finding the right doctor, finding the treatment and often needing public support to pay for it (we know this well). But we have to say one thing: if you are convinced of not looking at yourself more carefully, no amount of information can help.
On this first of October, the day that celebrates awareness of the disease, the @3000days wants to shine a spotlight on you:
Taking care of your health matters, because you matter.
You have the right to feel better about your skin condition.
