I never thought of googling about this itching problem I have until today when the bumps have gone berserk, they appeared all over my skin! So I ran Pro Evolution Soccer (PES) on my computer, hoping by playing the game it would take my mind off the pain. Sadly no. This time the itching was too much to bear, not even half time playing PES my hands were already scratching here and there.

I took Adezio, a pill that will help lessen the itch and makes them disappear. It’s a drug and if I have class or anything important for the day, I normally will avoid swallowing one. Last time I went to few clinics to do the check up but all they gave were pills, which are similar to Adezio. They aren’t meant to cure but only to prevent it from getting worse. I am so afraid lazy to meet skin specialist. Heh..

After some research on the net, I came to my own conclusion (lol) that I am suffering Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria (CIU) or hives as the common definition states. Some facts, I think:

• Allergy is a damaging immune response by the body to a substance to which it has become hypersensitive.
• Same for CIU case, the body act the same way but without known cause.
• CIU occurs when a person suffers from wheals (bintat as in Malay) or itching, almost daily, for over six weeks, with no obvious cause.
• The word "idiopathic" means the condition stems from an unknown cause. Ha Ha Ha OK… =..=
• The skin often becomes scarred and otherwise damaged from the wheals and scratching. *nods*

Ok I won’t spam the entry with more clinical terms and phrases, but yeah the wheals pop out like suka hati bapak dia without any reason at all. If you ask me whether I have other allergies from seafood, dust or buds.. The answer is no.

Hm hm but what I want to stress out here is this hehe as I also agree with the idea:

One of the main trigger to CIU is stress. Yes STRESSSS!

I got a lot of CIU symptoms during my previous final exam. I even brought with me some Adezio pills into the exam hall, in case the itching strikes. See here I can always telan that Adezio pill if wheals arouse but to cure the stress is the hardest part as I am known for being a short tempered guy.

Those who suffer from CIU deserve sympathy and understanding. Their condition may be debilitating and they may be unable to work or lead what most people would consider a normal life. Any help in making their lives a bit easier would probably be appreciated -- even if it is just a better understanding of their condition – taken from wisegeek.com Hahahahaha.. Betul betul!

BTW PES10 sucks. Lucky I didn’t go buy the game. Interface is good, I like it but the gameplay is bad. So hard to bring the ball to the goal line as the opponent always main kampung and steal the ball. Oh and why always Barca. Dah la diorang takde Eto’o dah. Huh..

PES10 leads to CIU. Hoo not good not good.
