It was a horrible start to the weekend.
It had been a terrible 5 day for me being really sick.

Here is the story of 'I'.

Apparently, I had a full blown allergy.
I called myself the monster from Fantastic 4. Don't know how or where I got them, I did.

I have been on MC and will only return to office on Thursday but it was no fun.
I could not sleep at night.
I had to wake up in the middle of the night scratching myself.

I had to shower under cold water and then soaked myself with calamine lotion.
I had to visit the private clinic twice and went to East Shore twice.
I had a total of 4 jabs.
I am so afraid on needles, so imagine I had to withstand 4 times being pokes.
The last one time I was at East Shore, I was given 2 jabs and the last jab was so painful that I was slapping my feet together, crying(yes crying) and said,"Abah.. sakit.. sakit"

It was very painful when they injected steroids.
Too bad, mommy wasn't there so dad could only say,"tahan.. nak dekat habis" from outside the curtain.

Yes, I had a total of 2 dosages of steroids to reduce inflammation and 2 jabs of anti-histermine in total.

East Shore staff remembered my name which usually many can't and they called me Big Baby.
Wah! So embarassing you know!

Alhamdulillah, today, all is much better.
For those who wonder what is urticaria, this is a sample pic.



Imagine, I had it on my whole body, even head, face and neck.
It is terrible!
My skin was too tout. I can only sleep on my body cos the back was too swollen.
I felt too uneasy and shifting is a chore.
Whenever I wash my hair, to keep my temperature down, I cant even dry my hair like I normally could.
It was truly a torture.

They even referred me to a dermatologist if this urticaria is going to scar me.
4 days going back and forth to the hospital, we spent about $350 on medical bills.
That's a bomb.

I thought I would die with the pain and discomfort but I guess it was all His test.
I recently knew of someone who had been through worse and alhamdulillah pulling through.
Insya Allah, all will be ok.

Let me enjoy my last day of MC.
