[Unglam and unslightly photos ahead.]
So one day in the office, while Chubs was still in down under,
he said he wanted a picture of me (he misses me, awww)
and I took a cute photo like this!
The next thing I knew, my left eye begin to itch,
and thinking it was simply because my fringe was agitating my skin,
I would just scratch it and sweep my fringe away.
But it kinda got worse and felt that my eye was getting redder and swollen!
I know it isn't my contact lens coz I wear lenses all the time
but it was only that day that I decided to wear my specs.
Don't know why! Maybe God wanted to tell me it's not the lenses, heh.
I consulted my supervisor about it, and she told me to just wash my eye.
That's what I did but it didn't help... So I went to see the doctor across the road.
When I went to see him, only my eye was swollen. He checked and asked questions
and just gave me a cream...
I thought I would be better after resting for a while
But NOOOOO! It got totally worse when I went home!
My whole body seemed to itch so much. I couldn't stop scratching!
I don't know how I managed to sleep,
but I slept anyway and woke up the next morning feeling.. fine!
So I went to work as usual.
To my horror, this time my right eye begin to itch and swell
and noticed that it was somewhat the same timing as when my left eye begin to swell the previous day.
(I remember because it was in the afternoon and if I were to take MC,
I would totally waste it coz I already worked for most of the day!! Hahhaah)
Picture of my cock eye:
I was so scared so I quickly went to see the doctor again!
This time it was a more experienced lady..
and actually told me I had urticaria.
I was like what is urticaria!? She asked me to google.
So I did. And found that urticaria = HIVES.
At that moment in my head I was like "Hives then just say hives!!!"
I was wondering why would she use such a medical term on a patient... Layman's term is so much easier.
Then I went, "OMG I have hives!!!!"
I forgot what she medication she gave me,
but I remember one for the skin...
Which my helper helped me to apply on my back and everywhere else I couldn't reach.
Because the blood in my body caused these itchy bumps
putting just the cream wouldn't completely get rid of it.
It could only help soothe the irritation...
I didn't even feel nauseous, neither did I have diarrhea.
I felt totally fine except for the itch!
Almost every part of my body was itchy >.<
Thankfully not at the nether regions, or that would have been embarrassing.
This was how my body looked like... Without the crazy bumps.
Sorry for the unsightly photos hahaha
Sorry for the unsightly photos hahaha
I looked like a cow!! Mad cow disease probably.
Legs not spared either...
This is what it looks like covered in cream.
This is what it actually looks like without the cream!
Big, fat, ugly, red and bloody itchy bumps.
My loving father helping me put his "soya sauce" on me.
Some traditional chinese medicated oil that he strong believes will help.
I call it soya sauce coz it looks like one & because I don't remember the actual name heh!
I was actually quite happy nevertheless!
The doctor actually went through all the food that I had from the previous day onwards.
Breakfast = always eat the same thing
Lunch = wonton mee which I had before and was fine
Tea = my favourite bubble tea (Woobbee!) which I always drink..
Then she asked about the clothings I wear, and my bedsheets at home...
And almost everything she could think of that could have caused this leprosy of mine.
In the end, there wasn't any verdict nor any suspicion.
Up till today, it still remains a mystery......
Hmmmmmmm....
