Cold Urticaria prognosis
What is the prognosis if you have Cold Urticaria? Quality of life, limitations and expectatios of someone with Cold Urticaria.
It is a chronic condition for me. I have had CU since childhood. It does go into remission in some cases. I have learned to avoid situations that may cause symptoms. I take antihistamines daily and I carry an EPI Pen in case of a reaction . I can swim in a heated pool that's temperature is the same as the ambient room temp. I avoid going outside if it is raining or snowing. I dress in layers during cold weather. I usually drink my beverages at room temperature. I avoid air conditioning. It does limit the activities you can participate in and a severe reaction could result in death.
Well... unless plunging your body into the ocean or rolling around naked on top of a snow capped mountain is high on your list of priorities, prognosis is very good! For some, their urticaria gets better and they don't suffer from the condition anymore, for others it can continue as a lifelong condition. Not enough is known about the condition to really answer this question in full.

Some find Cold Urticaria to get worse, some find it get better and sometimes it goes away completely. It really depends person to person and as time goes along you will learn more about your own case.

It is a chronic condition however in some people it goes away after a period of time. In some cases people’s CU gets worse and in some people the reactions get less. It is a very individual thing With each person having a different path with this allergy.
