@bellescout I wonder if this was a coincidence, or if you added or changed any medications after your Bronchiectasis diagnosis?
Otherwise, you may have developed a condition known as Cold Urticaria:

Does it resond to antihistamines?

Sue- I had been having what was diagnosed as Eczema (first and only time having this problem) by my dermatologist and was given a prescription of CeraVe with medication made at a formulary pharmacy. It very much coincided with the beginning of my telling the doctors something is wrong since I was constantly needing to clear my throat and the final diagnosis of Bronchiectasis.
I say had been having because all of a sudden in the last month my legs and arms have improved immensely. I am hoping it might mean that the MAI infection is waning. Not that anyone, doctor, has said that it is related but I don't know of any other thing that I have been doing etc. that would have caused such an improvement. Any thoughts.???
