Heyaaa all! I miss you guys! It felt like I have been absent from my class for a very long time, lol! I miss the chikahan, hahaha! Gosh, I miss writing. My last article was published 4 days ago. The reason behind it was having a fever for 5 days. Having a fever sucks, it is worst than having Wallenberg syndrome, Nah, just kidding. All I wanted to do is lie in bed. I am in chills every minute. My taste buds also suck. It made me even more difficult to eat because nothing suits my taste bud. My husband was annoyed already, I could sense it but he just kept it for himself. That's why I forced myself to do it. My husband is the most affected by what is happening to me right now. He fell ill for days too but still he is helping me with everything. I can feel his frustrations, but despite all of that, he is still taking good care of me. I never knew he loved me this much. Well, of course, I knew that he loved me but I didn't think that he would stick to me in my sickness. I even told him that if he can no longer take it, he can leave me, and I am okay with that. He looks so annoyed and told me,
What do you think of me? I love you and I will stay with you no matter what? If you die, i'll die with you..
Gagi,sabay batok sa kanya, may anak tayo, mabuhay ka para subaybayan anak natin.
Then we both laugh.
Then, last Friday night, I had rashes all over my body and it was very itchy. I was thinking about what could have triggered my allergies. I had mackerel that night for dinner and as far as I know, I am not allergic to it. Then my paranoid mind strikes again. I searched on google the symptoms of covid19.
And I only found two signs and so I think I don't have a covid. But my mind won't stop being paranoid, so I tried to google the symptoms of Dengue.
But I only experienced two and so I tried to calm myself and forced myself to sleep.
The next morning, told my husband that I have rashes all over my body, from head to toe. Then he said we didn't have chicken or shrimp that you are allergic to last night. We only had mackerel, are you allergic to it too? I told him, not that I know of?
What if I have Covid or Dengue? He then told me to stop thinking about it and call my doctor first. So I have to wait, 4 more hours and then called the clinic. The secretary answered my call and asked about my inquiries. They knew me already so she hang up the phone and promise to call me after. It didn't take long when she called back and told me that if I could make it to the clinic because the doctor wanted to see my rashes. I told her that I could.
My husband and I went to the clinic, to be honest, I was so weak at that time but because I was so worried about my rashes, I had no choice but to go to the clinic. The moment I arrived, the doctor instructed the secretary to take me inside his office. When I was inside, he checked my rashes and asked me if I have a food allergy and I said yes. But I am allergic only to chicken and shrimp but not to mackerel. I told him that I had mackerel the other night. Then he checked my rashes again and looked at his computer in front of us. He explained to me the difference between drug-related allergies and food allergies. It was so different by appearance. Drug-related allergies were so gross.
Drug allergy

And here's what a food allergy looks like..
See the difference? It's a good thing that doctor told me that it was only a food allergy since I already have a history bout it. He then prescribed another set of drugs for my allergy. I only had two thousand dollars in my wallet at that time so even I am so shy to asked him how much will it cost me, I still did and the doctor laughed. He told me not to worry because it is cheaper compared to my medications.
So after that, it cost me 1,700 pesos, including my medications, clinic fee, and meds for my allergy.
After taking my meds for my allergies, the rashes and redness subsides and the itchiness was gone. And also, I got no fever! Yehey! So I am so ready for my drip medication tomorrow.
I guess, this is it for now. My husband is bugging me to eat already, hehe.
See you all again in my next article. Ciao!❤

Di ako sanay na di ka everyday nakakasulat ng article. Tagal na nga din kita di nakikita sa notifs dito. Buti na lang allergy lang ang rashes mo. Masyado na overkill kung may dadagdag pang ibang sakit. Buti nga kinakaya pa ng katawan mo ang madaming meds eh parusa din sa liver yun. Sana mabilis ka maka recover. Ganun daw talaga. Pag asawa iba daw talaga ang stress at pag alala sabi ng friend ko. Sigurado ako sya ang pinaka masaya pag gumaling ka.
