My sickness and awareness

Time flies....again... I have not been blogging much these days. Physically been exhausted and dreaded the disorganised work that keep coming in which makes me collapsed again. The body keeps aching and weak limbs I experienced. I knew I be down.

Monday went to see the doc and was given paracetamol. Was back at work on tues and the body ache is coming back again. Fearing that it will get worse under the air condition work place, I took the risk and pop a pill of paracetamol. Almost half an hr gone and the itch started to take effect. Same symptoms, starting with the palm itching, then the ear and the tip of my nose. And now I can conclude that I am really allergic to paracetamol, I finally believe that I am allergic to it, I finally flagged a white flag to it. Ok, I been defeated, PARACETAMOL!

Bearing with the itch, well, its not as bad as what I experienced that first time, I drank lots of fluid down thinking of diluting the content. Thank goodness the itch did not erupt further and subsided a few hours later. By then, it was already in the evening after work and after doing a treatment.

How I fell in love with the place where I did my treatment. The lady was very caring and attentive and the good thing is, its all ladies except for the male manager who was constantly sitting at the counter when I spoke to Cheryl.

Being a hardcore lazy girl, I never bother to follow what 3 basic steps for my skin. And the worst thing I did was to bath and wash my face with soap or cleanser and thats it. Many a times, I get harsh reminders from sis and karen that taking care of our complexion is very impt. I turn a deaf ear to it. Until meeting Cheryl, how I listened to her explanations and experiences that I decided to do what I was told much earlier. The many products I bought after that really shown effects in the next few days. And it is true that the 3 basic steps are proven to be essential. Cleansing, toning and moisterising.

Having some eczema problem, my condition will worsen during the almost all year hot season like singapore. Thus staying indoors or in air conditional place will make me feel much better. I thought nothing will help me until Cheryl recommended me this moisteriser (Cuccio) which smoothens my dry rough legs and hands and it absorbs well into the skin leaving no sticky creamy or oily feeling unlike the other products I have tried. I am really thankful to Cheryl who have found me the right kind of product to rectify my skin problem which has been keeping me pretty vexed. Well! Hope I am still not too late to protect my skin well, preparing to look and maintain looking good for my sis wedding. It's all becos of your big day, sis! :)

Then back to my sickness, went back to see Dr Lim again with my condition not improving and returned with block nose and slightly blooded phelgm. Was giving two days mc to rest at home and antibotics were prescribed this time but heck! I hate antibiotics! Taking medications always make me weak. And she said I should be never try taking paracetamol ever again for life. Sigh.... I shall drown myself with more herbal tea and getting more sleep and re-energise myself back for badminton this sunday!
