This one is personal. 🤍
My article, “A Personal Journey With Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria,” was printed and published in Dermatology Times and it tells the story from two sides: as a dermatology nurse practitioner and as a mom.
We talk a lot about CSU as “just hives.”
But living with it looks like sleepless nights, unpredictable swelling, missed school days, frustration, fear, and a long road to the right treatment.
I wrote this because the lived experience matters.
Because access matters.
Because behind every guideline and prior authorization is a family trying to get their life back.
Grateful to Dermatology Times for amplifying clinician voices and patient-centered stories and hopeful this helps spark better understanding and better care.
