I’m currently on rinvoq (immunosuppressant) for chronic urticaria combined with eczema. It has been a game changer for me going from 2-3 hours sleep to a full 8 hours. I’ve been on them about a year and had maybe 2 bad flares during stressful periods and the winter always hits hard. My eczema is now mild at worst but it’s just my urticaria that I feel is creeping back.
I’m still sceptical as to wether it is urticaria as my rashes never seem raised or circular like most but go red especially my abdomen, sides, shoulders and neck and then do flake and dry off almost like sunburn.
If it starts with my head and neck I know it’s going to be a bad flare, it makes me feel ill, I get night sweats and raised glands behind my ears almost like it’s an infection.
Just wondered if anyone else gets any other symptoms along with it. Cream does nothing for it, I use menthol cream when it gets onto my shoulders and higher as that cools it down. I just feel like using moisturiser prolongs the healing process as once it’s dry and flakey it’s starts to literally shed and get better.
