I am MIA

I really feel sorry that I cannot update my blog everyday, I am officially missing in action. This week and even last week have really been a busy as a bee week for me. We are in the middle of the build phase and a lot of coding/ fixing/ investigation and researching is going on. Though I still stay up late at night but I am too tired to even composed a decent post. I avoid to write article out of rush. As much as possible I wanted it to be useful, expressive and/or informative to the readers. I noticed that I tend to laugh more often this past few days maybe to laugh off the stress and pressures of everyday work. There were many road blocks that I encountered when I started writing my codes luckily I was able to resolve it this afternoon (Yehey!). Whew! Why didn't I just picked Tourism when I was in college?! now I have to deal with all the logical and analytical thinking. Did you know that thinking too much is way more stressful and tiring than physical fatigue. I am really

Prednisone Medication: Day 3

Today I experienced some itching maybe because I didn't take Cetirizine last night. But overall, I can see improvements on the flare-up. The wounds are drying up quickly. Though I am becoming a sleepy head. I'll share with you some of my knowledge about eczema's origin.

There is still no scientific explanation on the origin of eczema but it is believe to be inherited. So you don't have to blame yourself if you get one since it is purely out of your control. Just like me, when I was diagnosed to have one, my mother immediately recalled that my father has eczema too. But why didn't the disease manifest early on? Here's the story.

Many people had eczema since birth but they'll never know it unless they experienced a flare-up or an attack. Eczema attacks believe to happen during your infant to childhood days and anytime between your 20's and 30's. I was 22 when I had my first attack. Before that time I never experienced any allergies even to drugs, scented lotions nor to band-aids. But after the attack, other allergies where identified like my allergy to clindamycin, brown band-aids, too much sun exposure and some reactions to foods such as chicken.

They believe a person with eczema will experienced an attack atleast once during their childhood and during their young adulthood days. I remember that when I was in kindergarten, I had a really bad skin. I often get "galis" (scabies) since our place back then was surrounded with tall grasses. I remembered a time when I got small coin-shaped wounds and my mother often treat it with soap and a hot water. And then it hit me, maybe those wounds are eczema but my mother hadn't paid to much attention as to what it is. Going to doctors or derma during those days barely happens, people during those times trusted more the albularyo's and hilot's rather going to high asking pay doctors. As it is considered a luxury going to doctors at that time.

And now I got suffer this disease that had been sleeping inside me. 16 years passed before it manifested itself again.
