Eczema, Appetite, Gastric & Stress Related

I've been having these allergies/itches since July 2011, which I 1st thought was infection due to unsanitary environment ... I am highly allergic to gems especially those on the bed ... Kalau duduk hostel dulu, bed sheet is a must ... Or else, confirm gatal2 the next morning ... & extreme rubbing will leads to ugly scars that will took months to recover ...

For months, doctor from panel clinic kept giving me the anti fungal antibiotic & jabs for the itchy-ness yg konon2 nya fungus infection itu ... Which will definitely came back every time I ate seafood, it will start to be very itchy & all the rashes will reappear ... Again, & over again ... At the same spots or even worse expanded ...

Been eating seafood on & off, but definitely have to pay the cost in few days time la ... Sampai menimbulkan kemarahan la - kenape my fungus infection ni tak baik2 ... Until, I met this skin specialist in Taipan, USJ ... They straight away tell me it's eczema ...

Can't really tell what is the real thing that I'm allergic to, the doctor said - "whatever applied on infected area" ... Seafood may not be the cause, but definitely worsen the situation ... All the other products, might just make the infection worse ... Since the soap, or the body lotions can cause more irritation ...

It's been 2weeks since I started the treatment (meds & applied lotions), & things are looking good ... I can feel my skin sumer become healthier, & the eczema scars sumer almost fade away ... Lucky for me, maybe my eczema wasn't that bad to that extend it slices the skins into dried flaky pieces ...

After a week, then I noticed that I've been eating like hell ... Never crossed my mind that it was the effect from my medications for eczema ... Until last weekend, that I got extreme gastric attack ... Mcm tak logic kan ?? Eating like hell, but still kene gastric ... Then the doctor explained - "that gastric won't necessarily caused by diet, stress pun bole kene gastric" ??

Haha, I never think of myself stressed pun ... But maybe it's something beyond my conscious ... I don't feel like dealing with the stress, so my mind was all set that I'm not stress ... Or maybe I am stressed, bf jauh ... Hehe ...

I guess there's not much to worry, since the doctor already explained all ...

1. I ate like hell - effect on my meds for eczema (steroid)
2. Gastric - my low blood pressure/ stress

& according to my previous reading on eczema pun, mostly ckp the steroid jabs memang bole menyebabkan pengembangan ... Hehe ... But since I'm that type yg super skinny, I got nothing to worry about ... I mean, it's not wrong to eat kan ?? ++ I've been eating healthy ... I do take fruits once - twice daily ...

Cume ustad kat as-Syifa pesan, control makan sblm berlaku pengembangan ... Sebab nanti abe tak suke ?? (Ape kah ??) Hahah ... But I've set limit to myself, that when my body reaches some numbers I'll stop eating like hell ... So far it's almost 50kg, I'll give some space to 10more kgs ... Because so far, I still feel good in my own body ... :D

Right now, I'll keep entertaining these crazy appetite from my meds ... Hopefully by the time I finish my treatment, it will went back normal & I can still maintain my current weight ... Hehe, at least before my body went thru massive hormone changes lepas kawen nanti ... I'll update wif u guys, on my body - appetite - hormone progress in few months ...

Owh, I officially quit (fill in the blank) last weekend ... Yup2 ... Lots of lurve, darls ~

I think we have something in common. Mula2 rasa macam simple allergy, then it got worse sampai I fainted lepas makan ikan bakar! Went to IMR and jadi test item to the doctors and wallaaaa - I have this thing called "chronic urticaria". Siap kena buat echo test and ECG (and now waiting for results from IMR on my blood test. 1st test revealed some 'failures' detected). Terus kena register MedicAlert coz I'm also allergic to some meds. My advise is - jangan ambik mudah!.

Yup, totally agree ... Biler so called 'simple infection' tu kept coming back for months ... Should go one step further oredy ...

I did went for a few round of tests since July 2011, but everything came back normal ... Bile previous irritation makin teruk, I know I have to go see specialist ...
