TSW Month 3

I had a roller coaster ride in my third month.

I stayed at my friend's house with my #1 at Pasir Ris for close to 3 weeks, my #2 at my mom's place, because the hubby refused to take care of us. During this time, he did not even speak to my younger daughter over the phone. Then I moved to my mom's place cos I miss my baby so much, then finally back to my own place at Toa Payoh with both kids. But I had a flare and now my #2 is with my mom again.

This month is also the month I gave up breastfeeding because she is away from me for so long.

Anyway, my friend made me a special blend to soak myself in the tub. Ginger, tumeric, chilli padi, celery, garlic and onion blend together, add coconut oil and her homemade oil and put them in a warm water tub. I soak in this daily for 30 to 45 minutes.

I am not exactly sure if it helps but it does help to soothe the itch somewhat. So I just religiously soaked in it.

I also learnt that I am unable to take tomatoes. She made tomato sauce with organic ingredients but I still wasn't able to take it. Then one day, when I was looking good, we went out to Sakae Sushi for dinner. I flared up terribly that night. I took unagi set without sauce and two slices of sashimi. It was hellish. I could only sleep 30 mins the entire night even with 3 atarax pills.

Anyway, this is how I looked like after I reached my mom's place. However that evening, she cooked soup and very plain vegetable dishes but I still flared up. I traced back and realised that I could not take the red dates and huai san in the soup.

List of forbidden foods (thus far):

1. Mushroom
2. Corn
3. Tomato
4. Wolfberry
5. Red Dates
6. Sashimi
7. Unagi

Mushroom was the worst. I felt like killing myself to end my misery then.

Then, on 17 October, my teacher was ill and I had to run the lesson for two classes. Too much movement and too much walking and standing. I waited for 30 mins for a taxi. And it was not good.

I was in bad shape. Oozing non stop for more than 10 hours and I was in pain. I realised that I wasn't able to stand up and I had to be carried to the toilet. I was on wheelchair for 2 weeks plus at home.  My mom nagged at me to see a doctor. And I went downstairs to see a GP and asked for Foban (antibiotic cream) and Augmentin (antibiotic pill) and nothing else, of course no steriods.

Took 3 atarax and thankfully, I could still sleep 2 to 3 hours at night.

My oozing continued from 17 October till 28 October, non stop, round 24 hours. The dead sea salt that I was soaking twice to 3 times a day did helped to cease the ooze much. It made me feel relaxed after every soak. I previously used Epsom Salt and Himalayan Salt but I felt a difference with this dead sea salt. This is me soaking in a toyogo box. I usually soak 30 minutes each time.
