Hives act as a wall that forces you to rethink the possibilities in your daily life. You have to adapt to following a new rhythm, doing things in a different way.
\n<\/span>Imagining my life without this barrier is like living a dream.<\/strong> Remember well the days I wake up without symptoms and my crazy desire to solve everything. Schedule facial cleaning, waxing. Even get your eyebrows done.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is a severe limitation on days with hives and imagining a life outside of that is freedom, or simply: ordinary life, as it should be.
\n<\/span>There is a great effort for the urticaria patient to lead their days naturally.<\/span><\/p>\n

A class at the gym with some weights can cause pressure on the palm of the hand, a tighter shoe for a gala party will certainly cause edema on the sole of the foot. Have I mentioned the hassle of going shopping and having to bring bags?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

These are natural and certainly necessary activities that can cause symptoms and worsen the skin condition of those living with hives.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A wish list and "all"<\/em> a routine without my symptoms would be a real success!<\/span><\/p>\n

It would pass through jeans with lycra, the metal buttons of the shorts touching my skin without using any adhesive to avoid contact. A very quick walk through the lingerie stores, as I wouldn't spend hours looking for bras with as little elastic as possible. I would have tight bracelets, earrings without plastic protection, and I would wear socks without them causing discomfort to my skin.
\n<\/span><\/i>I would have buckled sandals, and even if they were tight on my feet, they wouldn't cause any edema.
\n<\/span><\/i>I would finally clap without rushing after an incredible meeting, for the necessary minutes, without feeling my hand burn.
\n<\/span><\/i>I could easily hold the bus and subway pole, I could schedule more hours of massage without leaving there completely covered in hives.
\n<\/span><\/i>I would go back to Pilates classes, and dance ballet without any caution about the pressure of my feet on the floor and the need for wider shoes.
\n<\/span><\/i>I would eat everything! And I wouldn't worry about any symptoms getting worse, after all, in this life I wouldn't have hives.
\n<\/span><\/i>You could hold the scissors to cut your nails or do some crafts for as long as necessary, without injuries appearing between your fingers.
\n<\/span><\/i>I would wear necklaces, caps, hats of all different types. I could be more comfortable on a sunny day.
\n<\/span><\/i>I would shave my legs more often, which would lead me to wearing more skirts and shorts. I wouldn't hurt myself trying to relieve the crazy itch that comes up all the time.
\n<\/span><\/i>I could play more sports, I would have more items of clothing at my disposal. I would be a woman a little more diligent in aesthetics. I would be less worried. I would have more time. I would have an ordinary life.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Imagining this list of possibilities gives a fantastic relief and makes us want to contemplate it as immediately as possible. But, there is something interesting about the limits that life imposes on us.<\/span><\/p>\n

Limits make tasks more complex, but they make us more creative in our daily lives. They lead us to push our capacity for improvisation, for plan B.
\n<\/span>In general, living my life with hives makes it impossible for me to make this list of to do's, but it made me design a new aspect for each of these needs to be lived.
\n<\/span>Well, the needs will still be met. On a smaller level, for sure, but with the same life as it would have been.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let's keep clapping and plucking our eyebrows! Even if in a different way and not in the same amount of time as I would really like.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The wish list is long, but looking at reality remains the best way to live.<\/span><\/p>\n
