The worst for me is when my throat and tongue swells, the pain that comes with the swollen throat makes it pretty much impossible to speak.

Swelling of extremities when exposed to cold temperatures
Stinging sensation when exposed area then warms up

I've had OCD my whole life, but when I was 7 or 8, I started getting constant headaches. I went to lots of doctors, and they still can't figure out why I get so much unbearable headaches. Around the same time, I developed Cold Urticaria
