Serangan “URTICARIA”…

bulan lepas aku seksa menanggung kegatalan seluruh badan aku… aku pon tak prasan sangat cemana and biler semua ni bermula… apa yang aku tau, URTICARIA ni sangat-sangat azab utk aku menanggungnyer…

At times, aku rasa yang aku boleh jadi gila! Aku menggaru-garu macam tak boleh nak tahan lagi dah… kaki aku habis luka-luka sebab kene garu.. orang suruh aku pantang makan ayam dan seafood, aku turutkan…tapi sama je..aku makan ke, aku tak makan ke, benda alah tu tetap akan menjelma..

Sampai satu tahap, doktor terpakse bagi aku injection… pon, tak reda! Aku disuruh makan steroid selama seminggu…pon tak jalan gak… sampai kadang-kadang aku terasa mcm nak bunuh diri pon ada… tapi syukur alhamdulillah, aku masih waras..

Kakak kat opis ni kata aku kene ludah pontianak…aku nak gelak pon ada…tapi biler dah dua tiga orang cakap bende yang sama, sentap dan seram la plak aku jadinyer..
masalahnyer, dia bukan sentiasa ada…kejap dia timbul..kejap kang dia hilang…kejap kat tangan, kejap lagi plak kat kaki…kejap lagi kat perut…at one time tu the whole body except muka! It’ll last like hours…lepas tu surut dengan sendiri…. lepas tu esok jadi balik…giler tak?

So, lepas dpt gaji haritu, abg din bawak aku ghi jumpa Specialist … and Dr dah confirmkan ni masalah URTICARIA.. serious, nama penyakit ni buruk giler…tapi effect dier lebih buruk daripada yang kita semua dpt imagine…it’s beyond imagination… kalau org tgk nampak kesian, orang yang sakit lagi la kesian nak menanggung! Aku rasa perit bersalin pon tak seperit menahan sakit dan irritatingnyer URTICARIA nih!

Menurut internet, masa yg di ambil utk pulih mungkin dua tiga minggu, mungkin dua tiga bulan…ada jugak yang makan dua tiga tahun (bak kata specialist aku tuh)… HABIS,AKU NI CEMANA???

“Urticaria (or hives) are a kind of skin rash notable for dark red, raised, itchy bumps. Hives are frequently caused by allergic reactions, however there are many non-allergic causes. For example, most cases of hives lasting less than six weeks (acute urticaria) are the result of an allergic trigger. Chronic urticaria (hives lasting longer than six weeks) are rarely due to an allergy. The majority of patients with chronic hives have an unknown (idiopathic) cause. Perhaps as many as 30-40% of patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria will, in fact, have an autoimmune cause. Acute viral infection is another common cause of acute urticaria (viral exanthem). Less common causes of hives include friction, pressure, temperature extremes, exercise, and sunlight. It may be true that hives are more common in those with fair skin.

Weals (raised areas surrounded by a red base) from urticaria can appear anywhere on the surface of the skin. Whether the trigger is allergic or non-allergic, there is a complex release of inflammatory mediators, including histamine from cutaneous mast cells, resulting in fluid leakage from superficial blood vessels. Weals may be pinpoint in size, or several inches in diameter. Angioedema is a related condition (also from allergic and non-allergic causes), though fluid leakage is from much deeper blood vessels. Individual hives that are painful, last >24 hours, or leave a bruise as they heal are more likely to be a more serious condition called urticaria pigmentosa. Hives caused by stroking the skin (often linear in appearance) is due to a benign condition called dermatographism.”
