Yeah I lose weight but I am not happy of course. I am striving hard to gain weight because I’m petite and slim. The more I strive hard, the more I came back to zero. I already gained weight but because of the antibiotic I was taken I lose what I gained. Mostly people are striving hard too just to lose weight, get rid of those fats, belt bags especially after giving birth. But me, it’s my opposite problem. I have three kids but hey look at me. Skinny as a teeny? Oh well, sometimes it’s overwhelming to hear such nice approach about my body type but please if I’m this skinny and I will lose weight I will become a bone and I feel it now. My face cheekbones which I hate so much really appearing. My wrist watch that was used to fit my wrist now it is loosen. My favourite brassiere I used to wear is sometimes falling down and can’t hold in its place. My tummy starting to get little chubby now more flat. My rings loosen. My face looks like a balloon losing its air slowly.
Vitamins can’t help me. Eating a lot can’t too. Some of my friends said I’m sexy and I’m lucky with my body. Doh! All I can say is what..e..ver!

My Face after taking antibiotics- bony with pimples

My face before taking antibiotics! chubby and clean

What a weird thing but it’s a good news. I’m okay, I’m not ill. All the results of my laboratory tests are negative. I have no problem with my kidney nor didn’t even mention about UTI getting worst.
The question is. What’s wrong with me? What are those frustrating feelings before? Am I that super stressed to feel such burning sensation that won’t make me sleep well? Am I still adjusting with the new country, the new climate and all? What do you call this one? A culture shock? Irrelevant! Climate shock maybe. Even my skin is not in good condition. I used to have flawless face and back in the Philippines but since I arrived here, I got lots of rashes on my back, pimples on my forehead now starting to spread on my cheek. I’m so worried but what can I do with this? I wash my face regularly and I take a bath every day. I take vitamins! I make sure I got enough sleep excluding those times that I can’t sleep because of frequent dysuria. But hey! Besides that, vanity is in me. I took care of myself well. I want this concerned to be solve. I need answers to my questions. Who can?
Oh well, I am still very thankful because of the negative results with all the examinations done. So far, I am feeling well because of the Triptrim tablet I’m taking for 7 days. I don’t know what’s that antibiotic for but it was recommended by my doctor and it has a really good effect with my feeling. The doctor just told me to come back to her when frequent dysuria and burning sensation will attack again. Hopefully not! I am now practicing to drinks lots and lots of water that come to a point that I want to vomit because my tummy is full of water. All I can hear is water but I did not become intoxicated with water anyway.

Finally I was able to consult a doctor the other day and yesterday the laboratory test was done. I will be expecting the result tomorrow and my x-ray is also scheduled 11 am o’clock in the morning. We found a General Practitioner just near our street and she is trusted by many. She is an Indian and she looks strict but she’s nice anyway. Dr Sulo Mahendran.
I consulted to her about my problem with the UTI and guess what I was freaking with all the questions. She talks a lot about sex. She was asking if I felt burning after performing it. I never take it seriously before that sex has really something to do with UTI and yeah I remember it with the research I’ve done. But I know for sure it’s not the reason why this UTI attacking me now. Called it weird but the time we arrived here in Oz and I experienced so much cold, freezing with the weather gosh that’s keeps me coming back to the toilet and pee little by little (frequent dysuria in medical terms). It’s normal for pregnant buy hey I am not! This illness wakes me up 2 0′clock in the morning until 5 and it’s really frustrating because I want to sleep but how? The pain or the burning sensation is freaking me, bothers me a lot. I need to keep myself busy like spending my time here in my computer by that time just to forget the uneasy feeling while my family is soundly sleeping.
Another question Dr Mahendran asked was about feeling the burning sensation before and after menstruation. I do and the feeling is much worse. I will just cry alone especially when I can’t sleep. Burning sensation (balisawsaw) in Filipino term is my best enemy. So the Doctor recommended me to have the lab test. She referred us to a specific clinic laboratory for the entire test.
I was thankful my hubby was still able to spend his time with me even busy at work. He’s just scared to lose me early lol!
Tomorrow he’ll be with me again for my kidney x-ray. I will empty my bladder by 9 am and then drink 4glasses of water between 9-10 am. Full bladder before x-ray has to be done. No fasting required.
I just hope nothing is really bad or serious problem about with my gall bladder or kidney as I am afraid to leave my family early and kids are still young. I’ll be okay, God is with me.

Something happen in one part of my face. Below my lips, there was a small and tiny outbreak that really bothers me. I kept on touching it out of consciousness. Until one day I noticed it was already reddened with itching, tingling and burning sensation feeling. I was so bothered and I am even ashamed to go out with that yucky thing on my face. I don’t know what to do and what to think. Where did it come from? Why I got it? What is the reason I got it the fact that most of the time I am only staying at home? What is it? I’m getting paranoid.
According to my hubby maybe that was a cold sore. I don’t have idea what is cold sores and I really hate and felt so bad about it. Does my skin reacting with the new climate of the new country we’re in? Am I allergic to cold or whatever sudden changes of weather here? I am not used to have skin problems while I’m still the Philippines.
My hubby bought a cream and told me to try it. I was freaking out when I read the label of it. It’s an Eczema & Psoriasis Cream called Nourish. It is said to be for symptomatic relief of mild to moderate Eczema, Psoriasis and Dermatitis. A gentle formula suitable to use on the face and body. Temporary relief from itchy, dry and sensitive skin. I was convinced to use it knowing that it contain Aloe Vera juice dry powder. I know that aloe Vera is effective in different types of skin problems.
After 4 days of using the cream the cold sores was healed. According to our friend who visited us last Easter Sunday, it was really a cold sores and it will gone in due time even if you will not make an action to get rid of it. But I am really conscious and ashamed so I want to get rid of it that quick! Thanks God I’m okay now. Feeling better and face back to normal. No more hiding and covering.
I am now working with my research about cold sores and I will post it soon to help and give my readers some idea.

I thought when we moved here in Australia our youngest won’t suffer anymore with his asthma because the country has less pollution and not humid. It’s been a long time since he doesn’t have the attacked but today my goodness it started again. At first it was just a simple cold but then followed by cough and now problem with breathing. Not really that bad but the whizzing sound in his breath bothers me a lot. So what I did, I brought out this apparatus…
nebulizer

The medicine

I was hesitating to use it because he seem like scared and he’s running away from me when he saw it but when I tried to talk to him nicely he just hold it and put the mask on his face facing the mouth and his nose.
The first time we tried to use the nebulizer on him back from the Phil’s we almost tied him because he is fighting and he really doesn’t want it especially it makes him perspires too much. We are holding him tight and he is crying so bad till the nebulisation done. It is hard to take care asthmatic kids. All of my three sons have it and they inherit it with their dad and the family. I don’t believe before that sickness can be inherited but I was opting to because of experienced. I was just glad that my two sons didn’t experienced asthma attacked again when their age reach 3 and I must say they are healthy. I suspected the freaking cold weather last week caused our baby asthma attacked. He doesn’t want to wear sweater and don’t use blanket at night. Sometimes I find it hard to dress him up because he doesn’t want it. We will fight first. But when I get tired I just let him roam around the house naked. He is so strong that I can’t force him. Very strong honestly.


This is Mjay our asthmatic Darling and Daddy’s boy. He like his daddy than me. When he wake up without his dad and saw me first he is in the bad mood.

For now we are observing his condition and we hope that this will get better with the help of the nebulizer which is always the first option when asthma attacked.

Are you aware what is Goiter and how does it look like? Me I do because I have it. It’s a kind of thyroid gland disorder as what experts called it. According to them, this is due to inheritance which is likely true with my own experienced. My old folks have goiter. My Mom and my Aunt. My Aunt have it and it is big like an apple on her neck. My Mom’s goiter seemed didn’t show any malfunction anymore. I have a lot of relatives have goiter. Some have it operated especially the singles because it looked so weird. They can’t find partner with how they look lol! Thankfully mine is just as small as a piece of a corn and it’s not obvious. I took medicine before but I stopped because I don’t like the feeling of palpitation.. I can’t even sleep that easy and I am easily get tired even only I am just setting. I almost got operated but I ran away because I don’t want my neck to be slice and all. Gosh I’m so scared to be operated. God is the in-charge of me so I don’t need any medication and operation. But, my Aunt, I really want to help her remove the goiter in her neck. I know someday, sooner or later I can help her. She is 50 years old, single parent, a factory worker for so long. No clear income. Operating a knitting machine which is mostly graveyard on duty. She is so thin but she is healthy despite of that awkward thing on her neck. She always wears close neck blouses just to hide it. I pitied her and I love her that’s why I want to help her by answering the expenses for her operation. Hopefully I can make it.

This is her photos

she is covering it..:(

with my mom and my son. Mom have it but look, it’s not noticeable. Look at my Aunt; she is pretty to have that silly thing.

Please help me to help her..

Urinary tract infections. Bacteria attacking are called ecoli. I have this kind of problem. I developed it when I get pregnant with my first baby. A burning sensation that is extremely frustrating when it attacks during the peak of your deep sleep. Peeing a little once in a while. I really hate the feeling. They said it is normal for most pregnant women. Taking antibiotics in the number one cure.
I am worried with my UTI because it keeps bagging me until now especially when my period is coming and when it is there. I love salty foods and maybe this is the number one reason why I can’t take away this sickness. I am not into drinking 10 glasses of waters every day. I do drink buko juice (young coconut juice) as experts said that it washes and clean the gall bladder.
I went for urinalysis and take antibiotics. The sensation will gone after 7days 3x a day of taking it but then again coming back after few months and the feeling is getting really worse. Sometimes it took me one hour setting on the toilet bowl. I still don’t know what is the best thing to do, and why it keeps on coming back. I practice drinking 10glass of waters every day. But eating salty foods is hard to stop. Most of the time if our meal doesn’t have salty menu it doesn’t make me full. I am still looking and kept on searching for the perfect and accurate explanations with this and the most especially the best cure that really stops the very bad sensation of having UTI.

Yesterday my migraine attacked. And it really make me felt so bad. I just don’t know why I have this kind of pain in my forehead. Sometimes I can’t open my eyes because of the pain. The more I got to move and my head being shakes a little my gosh! The more the pain gets worst! Gladly I was able to bring biogesic here from the Phil’s. It is a paracetamol that was said safe to be taken even tummy is empty or I mean even when you have not ate yet! That is the only tablet medicine that can cure the pain I have. It is only available in Phil’s and if my reserved tablets here are all taken I don’t know what are the other alternatives here in Oz. I still need to know; maybe they have better medicine here for migraine.
When my period is coming too this migraine of mine is always present. I tried to look for what are really causes migraine but still I haven’t found the specific explanation. I have this pain since in my high school. There are people I knew that their migraine is worst than mine that they have to take pain reliever or buy those high price medicines. In their cases, they felt like vomit like I am sometimes. The feeling is too bad because there were times that it lasted for whole day and I have to take another two tablets for better outcome.

I am losing my appetite again. I am wondering why it is like this. When my period is coming my appetite is really good and I can eat even more. But when my period is already finished oh my goodness I can’t really eat and when I force myself I will just vomit. This is maybe the reason why I never get fat and when I gain weight a little, it won’t stay long.
What I always do? I make myself so hungry and I won’t tell hubby that I didn’t eat much because he will make a sermon again haha..Very noisy. When I am so hungry already to the point that I am already weak and my tummy is grumbling that’s the time I will fight in eating. It doesn’t help you know why? Because when you so felt so hungry and then you suddenly eat that will cause you abdominal pain which is too bad. My Mom told me to eat little by little from time to time. In that way, you never skip meals and never make your tummy empty. The advice really helps and that is what I am doing. Eat a little from time to time. Mothers are good advisers.

There is no doubt why my kids almost got the asthma if ever I didn’t find a solution to prevent it because my husband does have it now. They have asthmatic family background also. His asthma anyway is rarely to attacked. I made him take the products I am using for our kids but he is very inconsistent to do it, a lazy one! You know most boys don’t care. Well, his problem only occurs when he will be exposed to too much dusty and hot weather. He always carries with him his nebulizer.
One thing I am concerned about is his allergy. He always or never lost colds and got the habit of sneezing so bad. Too loud sneeze even in public can’t be prevented. When he blows his nose it has a grinding sound that makes me felt like there is something so big will come out. But hey! Nothing really. Maybe because of the itchiness’ of his nose. I don’t feel like comforting when I heard him like that every day. Disturbing and noisy. Sometimes I got worried but it is in him already. Whatever medicine he takes it is really like that. Despite of having those problems he is healthy and strong man.
