Last Friday, my old problem came back… old back pain. It came in split second… I was just sitting relaxing in the early morning… when I tried to stand up, I felt a sharp pain on my back… I immediately knew the old problem came back.

I had experienced back pain twice before… and it takes one or two weeks to heal… dang… this time it gonna cost me a paintball championship… the International Super Seven Championship 2010 on 22-23 May 2010… it worries me so much till pimples are popping out… I think I’m gonna need a blackhead remover at the same time…

Because it was so painful, i went for massage… it helps a little bit… but the next day, I think the pain of the massage was making my whole body painful… so on Saturday I went to see doctor… had an x-ray… and emm…. looks like it’s not a simple problem… since it has been going on for sometimes, there are some problem on the bones… and it cost me 300++ and still need about 750++ if I go for MRI… and another 20K++ if have to do operation… dang… health insurance is very important in this case…

I hope I will recover completely soon… and hope this problem never come back again… have to take care my weight and back… 😛

Being exposed to the hot sun too for long added with the thick haze nowadays is not only bad to the lung but to the skin too.

Being at the horse race track with all the dust flying around under the hot sun then dashing to take photos of the firemen putting out fire near the race horse track actually exposing my lung to all kinds of bad elements… horse germs, dust, smoke… everything goes into my lung… and deep into my skin… probably the reasons I’m having the itchy palms and soles!!!

And at the end of the day, my skin face become too oily… too shiny… too reflective… cleaning my face by scrubbing it with normal soap alone don’t really help… after rinsing the, the skin still oily and looks black… 😛 I have to use Oxy as blackhead removal then only the black face turn a bit fairer… 😆

Well, I have to get used to these if I want to continue with this hobby and turn myself into an extreme adventure photographer… 😀

Do you know that scratching you body parts too much will cause wrinkles on you face?… Yea it sound funny, but that is what I think will happen… coz when you do scratching, your face will tighten… coz you are enjoying the nice feeling of scratching… 😛

Scratch … scratch… scratch… like no more tomorrow… and your face looks so ugly when you are scratching like mad man… 😆

I guess I’m getting all kind of wrinkle on my body nowadays… wrinkle on my face… wrinkle on my palms… wrinkle on my soles… wrinkles everywhere… 😛 Maybe it is time for me to get and anti wrinkle serum jab… especially on my itchy palms and soles… 😛 When are these itchy… itchy… itchy… on my palms and soles goes away?…

Gosh… this itchy is really killing man… woke up so early in the morning… 4.30 am… is this an early morning allergy?… morning cold allergy?… 😛

The more I scratch, the more it gets itchy… I just can’t stop scratching… the moment I start scratching, it become the center of pleasure… it so hard to stop scratching after that coz it feels so good till I feel like going to pee on my pants!!! Damm…

I really need something to stop all these itchy spots on my palms and soles.. probably something like the hemorrhoids relief cream… I really need something strong… something hot… well whatever strong… strong drugs… strong medicine… strong cream…strong oil… or whatever to make this go away… 😛 or if I can’t find anything to stop this, I might just soak my hands and foots into hot water… 😛

I got my medical test result today, Thursday, 18 March… but somehow it is not the result I expected or wanted.

The itchiness on my palms and soles are still giving me a hard time… so the blood and urine test results is very important to find out the reason. My appointment with Damai Specialist Hospital (DSH) was 3.30 pm… and I reach there just on time. Was about to register myself at the Counter 2 on 1st floor of DSH… but the nurse who just came out from the doctor’s room saw me and immediately ask me to go inside… and I saw a file on top of the doctor’s table with my name on it 😀

Doctor ask me to take my weight… went to the scale and it shows 90kg 🙁 did  I lost 5kg?… coz the last time I took my weight, it was like 95kg… 😛 or could it be caused by the gym visits?…

Anyway, the doctor went through my medical test result… emm… nice… nothing wrong with my kidney, no cancer, no hepatitis… no AIDS… no nothing…not even eczema or dermatitis… except for other stuffs which are not related to the itchiness…

I ask the doctor what is wrong then… he said, it could be just an allergy… then I told him it can be very itchy in the early morning… and guess what he told me to do… he ask me to wear glove!!! 😮

So, I went back with a batch more pills… for a week supply… without knowing what exactly wrong with my palms and soles… we’ll see how it goes after one week…

Tomorrow I’m going back to Damai Specialist Hospital for my review. Last Saturday I went there for the bad itch on my palms and soles and they took urine and blood samples from me.

I do not really sure what to expect for tomorrow review… I just hope they found the cause of the itchiness… I hope they did a thorough test on my blood and urine…

For the past few days, the itchiness has gone down… but not all, I still get the itchiness especially early in the morning and from time to time throughout the day.

I also realize that I did experience this before… but I told the doctor this is the first time I’m experiencing it… because the previous experiences was mild… and I was a bit ‘panic’ because of the severity of the itchiness at that time… I thought it was not the same… but now, when the itchiness getting lesser, it does feel like the previous experiences.

But, since they are checking my blood, I just hope they find the cause of it and give me the right medication to get rid of this once and for all.

If it an allergy, then they need to give me the rapid detox prescriptions… I’m not a drug abuser but I guess detoxification process will be able to cleanse the chemicals inside my blood which are causing the severe itchy on both my palms and soles… cross my finger…

Both my palms and soles are super itchy… since early Friday morning. I was awaken probably around 4am on Friday morning and I was scratching my palms and soles like a dog scratching its body…

The more I scratch, the more itchy it feels… and it feels damm bloody good…

The itch are not on the surface of the skin but under. Although I scratch them so hard, the skins did not peeled off coz the palms and soles skins are very thick.

I don’t know what happen or how I got this itchy thingy… first I thought it was caused by the grass on the paintball field where I was taking photos under the hot sun for two days last week. But if it was the grass then my other skin should have rash or itch… but none.

Then I thought it could be the dirt, bugs or other stuff like horse urine I catch while taking photos at the Tembalang Horse Race Course two weeks ago, 28 February 2010… probably… probably some bugs or germ from the horse… and it took 2 weeks to incubate inside my soles or palms… 😛

But then again it could be anything I ate a few days ago… and it caused allergies to my body… 😛 And I do have skin allergies but that was like 15 years ago… it was gone after I took injection 15 years ago.

I really need something… anything… to get rid of this itch… 😛

So today, I went to Damai Specialist Hospital (DSH)… usually I go to Hill Top Clinic when I sick. But since this is something extreme, I decided to go to DSH. I went there around 11 am. Registered myself since this is the first time I went there. But since there was 10 people ahead of me I only gave my urine and blood and decided to go somewhere else coz the nurse said it might take 2 – 3 hours for the doctor to finish the queue…

They called me back around 3pm… and within 10 minutes I was at DSH again. But I have to wait another half hour or more after I reach there coz the doctor was still treating another patient.

The doctor recorded my case and even draw my hand but he don’t know how to draw… 😛 so he took out his little camera and snap my palms… but I still have to wait 5 days for his diagnosis… he gave me 3 types of medicines… and the lab, medicines, consultations and registration costs me RM339.75 😛 I guess only beautiful site for life insurance will make me happy… and I’m going back for the review next Thursday, 18 March… I wish I can ask my insurance to foot the bills… :P

OK, how do I start… coz this topic might makes some snap… well, I want to talk about errr… massage… … but it really has nothing to do with sexual massage or anything related to it… please don’t… coz to some, the moment they hear about massage, they will immediately connect it with beautiful girls giving massage… special massage… please don’t… I’m not even going to do xenadrine reviews or anything with Viagra here… I just want to tell about the place I visited last Friday… the Borneo Traditional Therapy… a massage place…

The Borneo Traditional Therapy is located at Damai… next to the Damai Point Plaza… the place is run by a lady… she is doing traditional massage… she said there are too many Bali massage, so she comes up with traditional massage just to make it unique… and she is not just making it sound unique but really makes it unique coz she use all the local traditional ‘skills’ in massaging and all the herbs… and she almost completed her book… yes, she is writing a book about her works… the traditional therapy of Borneo.

I’ve been here  five times already… including my last visit on Friday recently. Usually I comes here for massage when I have a very stiff shoulder and back… and head. She really knows where are the source of the pain and she will massage them till they really go away… but if you are not the type who cannot stand pain… then you gonna make lots of noise… and crying… she might be small but once she work on you… her hand is like a huge clamp… like last Friday, when she massage my hand, I was covering my face with my other hand… while my body was curling… and curling… and curling… and curling… like there is no more tomorrow… I thought I was going to faint that day… but the result is all the pain are gone… immediately… 😀

On Friday I had a very bad headache… well it is not really a headache… it just that there was a severe pain on my third eye… you know… forehead… I called it third eye coz that where our third eye supposed to be… 😛

Anyway, the pain started in the morning… my eyes was blurry… well it was blurry for the past few days… it seem that I can’t stand glare anymore… even the glare from the screen makes my eyes hurt…

I don’t know what caused my third eye pain… but I’m sure it is not diet pills side effects coz I’m not taking any… so the only reason I can think of is not enough sleep… well I always sleep late like 2 am… but the last few days I have been sleeping very late… late like up to 4 am… and I end up sleeping for about 4 hours only… 😛

So that Friday, I went home early… coz I plan to have a massage on my head and shoulders… my shoulder was also very stiff… I visited a place called Borneo Traditional Therapy. I’ve been here four times before in a span of 2 years… I think… if I remember correctly lah… 😛

The Borneo Traditional Therapy  is located a Damai’s new phase shops… I will talk more about it next time… I want to have a rest first… 😛

President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul not seem to be finding its target. The latest report about the Medicare private plans’ premiums jumped 14 percent this year!!!

Millions of seniors who ask for insurance quote and signed up for the popular health plans through Medicare are facing the sharp premium increase this year. This show how unpredictable is the healthcare program even for those with solid insurance.

The seniors are the one who are really affected by the shocking premiums increase… especially those who did not shop around for lower-priced coverage during open enrollment in the fall got hit with some of the biggest increases, averaging 22 percent.

The world is getting harder to live in… even having a good healthcare insurance protection don’t really protect… 😛
