sigh.
sometimes i find it quite sad that i have a series of things i'm allergic to.
like one whole list.
1) prawns
2) crabs
3) crayfish
4) sotong
5) kiwis
6) dust mites
7) cockroaches

and now to add on to the list, there's
8) limpets -_- (even though i'm not allergic to abalone).

had a second case of limpet allergy reaction yesterday after just popping one piece of cooked limpet (my mum only told me it was the same 'baby abalone' that caused me to have an asthmatic attack previously - we could not discern the cause cos i've never had any allergic reactions to abalone, and my mum thought it was just another species of abalone. we concluded it could have been something else in the food) before i went for counselling and hopesem.
the symptoms started appearing in the midst of the counselling session, with increased coughing and phlegm. difficulty in breathing came about around 15 mins of the start of symptoms, but i thoguht it was cos of the coughing. knew i was having an asthmatic attack only when it continued :X
and it continued on.. and got worse. LOL. started to have rapid buildup of mucus. and had to keep sneezing them out. itchiness in both ears was becoming obvious.
and jingting pointed out the appearance of rashes on both my forearms. i think they're hives though. my first time having hives D: and they appeared on my knees too D: they've since faded away.
i really had the mind to leave the class there and then and go to see a doctor. hahaa. but i wanted to learn :P thank God the class didn't mind (i hope they didn't) all the noise i made while expelling the mucus.. and thank God the symptoms (the expelling of mucus part) went away at around 9.30pm. the hives only just went away. like around 12pm today.

thank God i'm 24. i think if i experience these symptoms at 40+ i may be dead. hohoho.
am on mc today. sigh. kept falling sick these 2 months. fevered twice in 2 weeks -_-
