Month: August 2008

i had a sudden allergic reaction to dunno what. . .my body now is like itching so badly and omg, so so itchy now at 3am.

I didn’t sleep at all, so itchy. scratch scratch. Then suddenly my mouth feels swollen. I was so scared to see myself in the mirror. . . i finally did and omg, im swelling in my mouth area. 

I woke my parents up to tell them about it. They just scolded me for dunno what my room being so dirty and going out all the time and went back to sleep.

They didn’t even care to take a look and then go back to sleep. even if i told them my mouth is swelling. I guess as you grow older they stop caring about whether or not you’re okay. I may die with this reaction, but who cares right? :/

super sad. damn emo then also feeling so scared about what is happening. lols. feel so bodoh. i guess i should know how to fend for myself. 22 years old already. old enough to have babies means must take care of self in times of allergic reactions. . .

No one else to turn t at this ungodly hour, so i turned to google.

Google said it might be hives. This website is really awesome to find out what skin reactions you have!lols.

but im just guessing. I’m no doctor. 

So here i am at 343am. .  trying to soothe the itch with wet cloth. . .my mouth swelling has gone down a bit, but still swelling. . .I never had such angelina jolie lips weiii! hahaha. shit lah, I hope it goes away soon. I can’t sleep. . .at all! 

Now i read that i should not scratch! lols. nice. just when i scratched damn kaokao. i should wear a pair of socks to prevent me from scratching . .

itchy like mad weiii. . .google also said can take antihistamines to relief the itch. I don’t know. .  should i? I’m no doctor, haihs.

Hives can occur when. . .

“Hives are produced by histamine and other compounds released from cells called mast cells, which are a normal part of skin. Histamine causes fluid to leak from the local blood vessels, leading to swelling in the skin.”

Histamines. . . . why owh why must you be released on my blood vessels. . . Maybe cos i have lesser blood count since i donated that day. lols. 

I could have Physical urticaria (physical hives)

The term physical urticaria refers to hives produced by direct physical stimulation of the skin. By far the most common form is “dermographia,” which literally means “skin writing.” This is an exaggerated form of what happens to anyone when their skin is scratched or rubbed: a red welt appears at the line of the scratch. In dermographia, raised, itchy red welts with adjacent flares appear wherever the skin is scratched or where belts and other articles of clothing rub against the skin, causing mast cells to leak histamine.

Another common form of physically induced hives is called cholinergic urticaria. This produces hundreds of small itchy bumps. These occur within 15 minutes of physical exertion, or a hot bath or shower, and are usually gone before a doctor can examine them. This form of hives happens more often in young people.

Other forms of physical hives are much less common. Triggers for these include cold, water, and sunlight.

The itch went really bad after i took a shower! And yes i scratched a lot while i was sleeping. . 

Haihs. I so stress. . .
