In most people, polyarteritis nodosa develops gradually over weeks to months. Early symptoms include fever, weight loss, muscle weakness, feeling sick (malaise), muscle pain, headaches or abdominal pain. These disturbances are called nonspecific because many diseases cause the same symptoms. Eventually, after these symptoms specific signs of arterial damage to one or more organs. Depending on the location and severity of damage, you may see any of the following symptoms:
- high blood pressure or kidney failure, including severe headache, fluid retention, nausea and confusion.
- nausea, vomiting or severe abdominal pain
- seizures, changes in mental function, numbness, tingling or weakness and slurred speech
- muscle or joint pain
- skin rashes, hives, rash caused by bleeding from damaged capillaries (purple) or major bleeding under the skin.
- chest pain or shortness of breath
- pain in the testes or pelvis
Since polyarteritis nodosa can cause a wide variety of symptoms, people do not have the same symptoms of this disease.

I had chronic urticaria for about 8 months. To treat my urticaria symptoms, I used calamine lotion which unfortunately did nothing. I then started taking antihistamine tablets every day which wasn’t an urticaria cure but helped with the irritation. I had a few tests and discovered I was lactose intolerant. Since giving up milk and dairy products my urticaria is much better. I hope this helps someone with their chronic urticaria.
I have been on the internet searching all over the place trying to figure out my urticaria problem. Now according to your website I have urticaria dermatographia. So, can anyone tell me more about this condition any sort of information would very helpful. Will your urticaria treatment help me, has anyone else suffering with dermatographia used Kate’s urticaria treatment, did it work?
Everyone is just doing what they feel is best to protect themselves, their loved ones etc. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, try to be respectful. I think most people do a lot of research before they make such a big decision whether or not to vaccinate. And depending what you read there is a lot of convincing material to lead you either way. I chose not to vaccinate myself or my 3 children after much thorough research (including several books that were for and against vaccination). There is so much information that it is overwhelming and it is easy to just do what your told is best and hope that it is because everyone seems to be doing it and they seem fine. I challenge those people to dig a bit deeper. Whatever you choose I wish you and your families good health and balance in life.
