Explanation

When I went to see Dr Bakshi I was really struggling with Urticaria, despite numerous sessions with GP my condition continued to worsen. Dr Bakshi took me through a process of elimination to establish if there was a trigger, and then we tried high level of histamine approach before agreeing to a alternative treatment which involved a monthly injection. After 6 months I am now urticaria free and my quality of life is back to where I was a year ago, symptom free and having identified triggers can now manage myself avoiding any reoccurrence. I genuinely cannot thank him enough for solving what was an incredibly debilitating condition.
