My AR experience

-

I woke up today, early morning around 4 am, sneezing and teary eyed. I super hate this feeling when I cant do anything but to get some tissue and sneeze! arrgh! I hate it even more when I get to drink my anti- allergic medicine Alnix (Cetirizine DiHCI) and then sleep all day afterwards.

Oh well, at least I get to write my blog even though I'm a heck sneezy! haccccho* And I get to read more about this freaking Allergies.

I just learned that Allergic Rhinits (AR) can be debilitating and intrusive as severe Asthma.
Allergic rhinitis is caused by an immunoglobulin E (IgE)–mediated reaction to various allergens in the nasal mucosa. The most common allergens include dust mites (gotta start cleaning my room again), pet danders (dont have pets sorry), cockroaches (eeeew!), molds, and pollens (lots of em at the backyard) . For example, tree pollen allergen binds to IgE antibodies that are attached to a mast cell via Fce receptor.

 Oh well,I gotta be back soon! I think my med's taking effect now.. Night everyone!


Sincerely,

Me- the allergic girl. *sigh

August 7, 2010 (Saturday) Lesson #1 Each and every patient is unique. They might have the same symptoms, but they have different causes. The doctors should treat each patient differently, ask questions, and listen. In our case, I told this doctor that my daughter has cough for almost a month now and the doctors including my daughter's pedia heard that her lungs are clear whenever they listen through it. It turned out that my daughter had viral fever which was caused by pneumonitis. If only this gay doctor from the ER last saturday LISTENED. He could have admitted us that day and no need to send us away. Lesson #2 Mothers knows best . It is part of our innate instinct to feel that there's something wrong happening to our loved ones. Indeed, gabby just had a plain HIGH FEVER but who are they to tell us not to have our daughters admitted when we felt there's something wrong. When we believe in something, we have to stand up for it and fight. yes, FIGHT. I have to sound...

For 4 years, my Alma Matter was and still is the University of Santo Tomas .  There are a lot of reasons to be proud of this University. The Character built within each and every students who enroll in this campus are remarkable and I can say made us, Filipinos proud of our race.  For Centuries (400 years), Catholic catechism has been the basis of the University's teachings. When I took up Fine arts back in 2002, there are less lectures and more on hands-on drawings and labs. This means lesser class hours for Christian living lessons *sigh. Less time, but unforgettable teachings. How can I forget my professor, Mr. Cura? He was 65 years old back then, but still he was teaching. He was a real emblem of PASSION, PATIENCE. He was a real inspiration for everyone whom he shared his life with. Apart from the great teachings and lectures I had with Mr. Cura, the University's annual activities being held like "PASKUHAN" is one of the reasons why I dearly love my Alma Matte...

Once more, The Lord evidently placed His hand over one thing we, with our humane instincts cannot grasp.  The Lord has always surprised me in ways I cannot fathom.  Friday, one of the most dreaded day because of this one word- Berlitz . I hoped and sincerely prayed that I pass this key to the dream I always wanted.  I prayed . I claimed . But one thing's I'm not sure of if I've done sincerely, I Trusted ? The Lord has always been so good to me, that He always place his loving arms around me and makes sure that His grace and presence are always with me. Recently, He sent out a dear friend into my life and from that day, till now, who knows until forever? One thing's for sure He allowed this friend into my life once more as a part of His greater purpose He has for me. who could ever imagine that you and a friend whom you met somewhere in the past will cross their paths once more?  Lately, I have figured out the purpose of this friend into my life. She's a living as...
