Coffee vs Sleepy Pills (not sleeping pills lar..)…

June 30th, 2010 | by jys |

Rashes..one thing which I thought it would nv happened to me. If you asked me few months ago what is it like to have skin problem/rashes? I would have told you I don’t know cos I never had any problem with my skin before (except for pimples. hehe…) I mean I was never allergy to food or stuff, and I nv really had rashes before.. But if you asked me now. I would say, having rashes/itchy skin is really a nightmare!! Terrible terrible nightmare!!

I’ve been suffering for months now, well, almost 2 months. I had sleepless nights, terrible itch, and I tried my best to avoid the sun, as heat makes the itch worst. Then I started to take bath every few hours if possible, I finished a big bottle of ‘man gam yao’ in a week. Can you imagine? Normally the ‘man gam yao’ in my house can lasts for years!! Anyway, all these doesn’t really help as it got worst. Seen 2 doctors, doesn’t really help and finally decided to go to the specialist, yes a skin specialist.

My first impression when I saw the doctor was, oh man, this guy looks like Samuel Hui Koon-kit’s (许冠杰) BROTHER… Ricky Hui Koon Ying (许冠英). hehe..The height, the hair style, the face.. hehehe.. anyway, back to the rashes, he gave me some medicine and some cream to apply and told me to take the medicine 3 times a day. There are 2 types of medicine, morning and afternoon one will make me feel sleepy and the night one will not. Immediately I told the doctor that I need to work and asked whether he could give me meds which don’t caused sleepiness, then he said ok.

When I got my medicine, I noticed that the morning and afternoon meds had now changed to morning and night, hmmm, morning eat liao still feel sleepy wat… well, guess I don’t have much choice though…

And there it goes, I started to feel sleepy everyday at work. First, I can’t really sleep well at night cos of the itchiness and constant waking up, and Secondly, the sleepy pills. I mean, even without the sleepy pills I will also feel sleepy d, but now with the sleepy pills, it’s even worst!! Everyday after breakfast, after I took the pills, my eyes started to shut automatically and I looked like a drug addict, constantly yawning!!

~sigh.. I decided to do something cos I can’t be like this at work!! How am I suppose to work in this condition, right? So one day, I decided to do a little bit experiment, which is to take coffee first, then only take the sleepy pills. I wanted to see if the coffee can successfully win over the sleepy pills or not!!

What do you think? Coffee wins or sleepy pills wins? Well, sleepy pills wins lar.. ~sigh.. still feeling very very sleepy…

p/s: rashes got under control after taking the meds.. under control only, not 100% cured….

    i know.. damm irritating rite?? :(
    i suffer rashes too if i bath hot water and then stay in aircon room.. what i did is to take cold water instead and apply lotion after bath.. keep my skin moisture.. maybe you can try..

    Jys:
    ya, take cold shower is better and more comfortable. besides, changing to a ph level shower foam also helps a bit. I didn’t apply lotion but I did apply the snake powder after bath.. feels so comfortable…although it can just last for a while lar.. hehe..
