Offering guidance, resources, and a supportive community for those living with chronic urticaria. We see you. Find hope, strength, and a home on your journey with us.
Increasing awareness of chronic urticaria (CU) among our communities, health care professionals, and decision makers is essential to ensure impacted people receive the proper diagnosis, that recognition of CU isn’t delayed, and that patients with CU receive the care and support they need and deserve. Educational resources and tools help those affected understand their symptoms, manage their condition, and feel better equipped to make decisions about their care and CU journey.
Education can help you better self-manage your CU and improve your health outcomes.
Understanding your condition can help you stick to your medication schedule.
People who understand their conditions can better communicate with their health care providers.
Understanding your CU can help you feel more in control of your disease and improve your resilience, or your ability to deal with the ups and downs of CU.
