I have suffered from urticaria on and off for over 10 years. More recently it had become bad every couple of months for a period of 2-3 weeks. I was covered with weals, all over my body, terrible itching and often had swelling in my lips and eyes after eating. <br />Over the years, I have seen doctors, had allergy tests and taken a variety of antihistamines which hadnt really helped.<br />In October 2013, I had a really bad case and was signed off work. The weals were everywhere, itchy and I had swellings every time I ate. I was so very upset and uncomfortable. It was at this point that I knew I had to try something different to help.

I saw Jan Brearley in Lichfield, Staffordshire. She tried to identify the link between each outbreak, how I was feeling, what I thought could have caused it, what my personal and work life was like. It really helped to talk too. She really cared and listened and wanted to help me.<br />She identified that as a working mom, I was extremely busy, a control freak who at the same time needed support. She prescribed carcinogen for me and vitamin tablets.<br />I have been taking these now for about 9 months and in that time, I have had the 'odd' weal but no more severe outbreaks.<br />I am also a much calmer person now and less of a control freak!<br />Seeing Jan and having homeopathy treatment has had such a positive effect on me. The remedy has helped alleviate the weals and being able to talk to Jan identified the cause.
