Went for my review and skin prick test on thur. the skin prick test was to test for allergy and to see if any allergy is causing my hoarse voice and throat and sensitive nose. mum was accompanying me to TTSH and we were actually late for the test. At first i dun understand why the allergy test is called a skin prick test. is the test pricky or painful or something lidat? hmmm... i jus went to the room wif doubts. first, the nurse marked both my arms wif lines and the name of the extract, then she put a drop of each extract on each line( there are a total of 17 diff extract). thinking that was all, i was relieved and all i got to do was wait for 20 mins to allow my skin to react. Suddenly, the nurse came back with a bunch of needles."i need to prick your skin to allow the extract to flow into yr skin to react." the nurse told me. i thot, wat the shit, now i noe y it is called a skin prick test. after that i was shifted to another table to wait for the 20mins to pass. i was trying to peep at other patients arms to see how it look like having multiple allergies on the same arm. but it seems like their arms are okie. a few mins later, i starting itching and both my arms was having little swollen bumps and red patches. I was having runny nose and tearing eyes shortly after that. the nurse said behind me that i was starting to react to the extracts. to my amazment, it seems like all the 17 spots are reacting. i quickly asked my mum to see and she said it sld be normal. halfway thru the waiting time, the nurse came over and said something loudly. " Wah lau, my girl, you haf highly sensitive skin leh. all the extracts haf caused allergic reaction wif yr skin. Siao liao, you allergic to plants, flowers and insects. Even the extract that seldom cause allergy, yr skin also reacted. later then i tell you more k?" my jaw dropped to the floor and was thinking to myself, wat the hell are you talking abt? while waiting for the stupid timer to ring, i watched the nurse measuring the swollen bumps on other patient's arms. frankly, most of them din haf much allergic reaction to the extracts. my arm looked the worst. When the 20mins was over, the nurse measure all my swollen bumps. the other patients' report sheet was mainly blank but mine was filled up completely wif the measurement of my swollen bumps. COMPLETELY. I'm have allergic reaction with all the 17 extracts!Haiz.... cant believe it. how can my skin be highly sensitive wifout my own knowledge. but thinking back, i did haf rashes quite easily but i always thot it was heat rash. Like after a run at the sch field or cycling at Ubin can cause rashes on my skin. Argh.... Damn fed up lor.... wanted a gd and clean report for my review but now, the test revealed more problems that my body has. So there is alot of things i need to follow in order to keep my sensitive skin and nose (the allergies are causing problem for both my skin and nose ) out of problems like, avoid contact wif the plants, flowers, insects and watever that can cause my allergies and so on. and the stupid bill actually came up to more than 110 bucks bcos my medications was alreadi more than 80 bucks. Shit shit shit... Damn pissed... i haf to undergo treatment for my gastric reflexes cos it caused my hoarse voice, treatment for my allergies cos it caused my sensitive nose and skin., therapy for my voice cos its hoarse and haf to follow diet plus staying away fr watever that can cause my allergies. went to the doc bcos of one problem and now i haf more than wat i expected. Argh... Argh....
