I had even forgotten about the hives

By Patricia Izabelle Queiroz

My name is Patricia, I am 43 years old, married, mother of two children.
Two years ago I didn't have a hives attack, this week, on the eve of a long-awaited family trip I dreamed of: it came back, after a sinus attack, it came back in my legs, in my arms, itching, burning!
It was difficult to focus on the suitcase, thinking about it and what the next few days will be like… I thought about canceling the trip, but we can't.

I went to the allergist who told me “wow, it’s been a while since you came” – and I happily replied: “that’s good, right”.
Exactly two years ago I had a crisis that took months to go away! I'm desperate at the moment! What to do? How difficult it is to deal with them, how difficult it is to know that she is here and at times that are not ideal...
Suitcases still unpacked, scared of traveling, sad about not being happy about a family trip.
My husband says: “last time it was the same, it spread and then went away”
…but we seem to forget, erase that it exists because it is so difficult to deal with!
