Before I share this, I just want to clarify a few things. I have never been to A&E before. I never experienced any similar experiences like these before. So, I would overreact and exaggerate a little, so bear with me.
I started having red patches on my arm on a Sunday night while using my computer. I didnt think much of it as I thought it was just skin irritation and I scratched it REAL HARD. After dinner, I realised my body started to itch EVEN MORE. It went all the way to the chest, stomach and the back. Before I knew it, I was red all over.
I thought maybe a good night sleep would get the red-ness off me. I went to bed after taking a quick shower. And to my ASTONISHMENT( TOLD YA.), I woke up to the itch getting worse and spreading all the way to my thighs and calves. It felt HORRIBLE. The red patches were all over my body, making me look like a world map. And my actions were like a monkey, scratching all over. I was a world map looking monkey. (Okay that was lame.)
My dad, who drives night shift, was home and decided I should check it out at the hospital. And since it was free as I had an 11B ( First time I am glad I was a NSF.), I decided to do it.
My dad drove his cab to KTPH A&E. The queue was LONG. I dont mean like Great Singapore Sale long, but if-there-was-an-emergency-the-guy-would-have-died kind of long. I waited for a while and it was finally my turn. The doctor gave a quick look at me and started scribbling away.
"Did you eat or touched anything out of the norm recently?" "I ate stingray on friday night, does that count?" "I dont know, maybe. Anyway, you are okay. You had an allergic reaction, it should subside in a few days. If it doesnt, come back again. We will see what we can do."
So, I waited for a jab (yes, it hurt.), and some meds and went back home.
I texted a few of my superiors in airforce to tell them about my condition and my 3 days MC. Just to be responsible. ( I know damn shameless, thanks.)
Anyway, apparently, sweating is a way to cure this 'illness' as told by my dad. So to recover faster, I went into full crazy sports mode. I went running at weird timings ( or rather, anytime I felt like the itch was unbearable.) and playing basketball. Just to sweat. Weird I know.
But hey, by the end of the 2nd day, there was barely any patches of red. I guessed it worked.
Interesting experience. Not one I want to relive though. No stingray from now on ):
