It's 12 something and I know I shouldn't be writing. Sleep, it does your body good. However, I am still up so I just thought I'd come up here and do some complaining. For the last few years, I have been struggling on and off with a skin problem. At first it was diagnosed as an adverse reaction to insect bites, now it is discoid eczema. Living with a skin problem is no fun. There were times when my skin was so itchy I wake up with blood on my sheets because I have scratching my skin in my sleep.
Fortunately, lately the condition is rather manageable. Also, most of the spots are covered by my usual long sleeve shirt and long pants. I shouldn't be complaining because I have seen pictures and heard stories of people who had to go through so much more. It is a terrible condition to live with and western medicine doesn't seem to have a cure for the condition only temporary solutions. Even going to the gym, I am always in a track pants. Hopefully, things go better in the upcoming months. Enough complaining already. Good night.

Jason, did you go and see a skin specialist? You cannot use normal soap or lotion - must those special ones. I hope you will feel better.
Love ya,

am in Ipoh right now, gonna stay until... whenever me and Kim feel like going back to KL. am currently bored. when will you be coming back home? BRING HOME LOTSA ANIME!!!
ps. do you have antihistamines meant for your ezcema? they might help, especially if you're itching so badly at night till you can't sleep. cos scratching will only exacerbate the problem, it's important that you leave the rashes alone (though i myself scratch at them till i bleed).
