Acquired Cold Urticaria

[formysons]

My son has been diagnosed with cold urticaria.  I have read different articles on the internet about this condition.  Some articles say he could grow out of it in 5-6 years and other articles say it could last all of his life.  He is an otherwise healthy teenage boy.  The doctor he sees wanted to send him to a well known medical university but he doesn't want to go.  He doesn't even want to go back to see her.  He just wants to live with it until he grows out of it.  Is there anyone else here that is living with this condition and how long have you had it?  Better yet, is there anyone here who had this condition and grew out of it and how long did it last?  I do worry about my son, his doctor prescribed an epi pen as she felt his condition was severe.

You just described my weekend.  My son was diagnosed with this a month ago and it has gotten so bad he was at emerg. last night and now has an epi pen.  I am also at a loss.  I would love to think that he will grow out of this.
