By Guilherme Mascarenhas
Hello,! My name is Guilherme Mascarenhas and I have suffered from UCE for 20 years.
I am currently 34 years old and it all started when I was 14 years old. I remember it like it was yesterday. One night, those red patches appeared all over the body. Initially we (my family and I) thought it was something I ate that night, we started excluding foods of all kinds, I even became vegetarian at the time, but nothing worked.
Then the marathon began among all the allergists in the city (Brasília), each with their own theory, I abandoned all traditional cosmetics and nothing worked.
After a lot of searching, a doctor gave me some insight into what it really was, and when that happened I was already 16 years old.
With no solution to the crises, much of my adolescence was troubled, I had many symptoms on my face, mouth and eyes. People didn't understand what that was, and I ended up moving away from everyone and excluding myself from social life.
When I was 20, I went to a dermatologist to treat something else that I don't remember exactly what it was, and I took the opportunity (without much hope) to ask him what he knew about hives, I said that I suffered a lot from it. Talking to him was the best thing I ever did! He helped me and I started a treatment that, in a way, controlled the crises a lot.
