No. Doctors at a Children’s Hospital dermatology/allergy wing.

I think just water, but I also have not tried. Watermelon juice triggers it though, and I definitely didn’t find that out by spilling an entire jug of it on me.

Will talk to my docs! Thanks!

I will talk to my doctors, thank you!

It was Pepsid. Just checked. I also do not know why I was prescribed that. I think it’s got something to do with what msnmck is saying.

No clue. Started presenting symptoms when I was around 9-10 I think.

No, but I wish I did.

Ooh, I would hope not. I go to a fancy academy highschool, so I would hope there’s no mold! 🫣

I can drink it, although I did just read the other Aquagenic AMA from 13yrs ago, and they said their lips got dry. I do tend to have dry lips, so now I’m wondering if that’s got something to do with it.

I went to my local derm, who then referred me to Children’s in Boston. I went there, was formally diagnosed and prescribed over-the-counter antihistamines. Those didn’t work, so I went back! They said, basically, “we don’t know what to do, we’ve never seen this before, if you’re okay with the reactions then just leave it be, watch for trials and new treatments.” (Something along those lines.)

That’s what happened to my mom!

Doctors told me I was the 51st documented in the US. They also suspect that there may be more that just don’t know, or may be less that have been misdiagnosed (i.e. like it’s actually temperature urticaria)

Oh, dear.. the only one I found was from 13 years ago.

Thanks for this, now I can tell people that my cells are just built different (kidding, kidding.) But really, I appreciate the insight! :O

I have tried everything. Name it, I’ve tried it. Distilled, town water, pool water, another pool’s water, ocean, lake, rain, sweat… etc.

I do react to my own sweat, it makes summer super fun. I did try some meds, but they stopped being effective.

Haha, my mom and I love that saying!! I get my zebra-ness from my mom, who has a whole lot more interesting conditions than me. Perhaps I should encourage her to do one of these..

Edited with a second photo of me, proving that the first one is me.. hopefully this counts.

Tried Zyrtec, Allegra, Pepsid. All a no-go.

Woah.. never knew that! I’ll have to read that. But no, we don’t have mold. My dad is very on top of that stuff.

Tradesies?

Probably somewhere.

No, but that’s something to think about!

I’d have to try it lol

I don’t know about other people’s sweat, lol. Never had a problem with lotions. And I love watermelon.
