Tadah.

I welcome myself back to the blog world. Just imported my Multiply blog and was surprised that I swirled back to 2003. Geez. 9 years of blogging and I still sound like myself. Back to where I was.

Guess blogging was really therapeutic for me.

 Ok so let me start with where I am right now. I am currently in my Mandatory Leave (which is basically 2 weeks and Im on my 10th day. It was an emergency leave coz my skin disorder flared-up. Up tp 90% of my body. I have been battling with psoriasis since last year.

Well it appeared when I was 13 but nothing this noticeable. This is the worst Ive ever had. I was taking meds for it whenever it starts to flare up. I was talking Methotrexate (MTX for short), along with ultraviolet exposure (which is called Phototherapy) plus some topical cream, which really worked for me. Until the absence of MTX since April.

 It was out of stock since April and there could be chances that it was available but a pharmacist said once its there, it just takes 2 days and its gone. Oh I just gave up explaining what I feel about this "phenomenon".

MTX is used for rheumatism, cancer and I dont know what else. But for what its worth, at least what I have isnt deadly. Painful at times, but unlike the big C. So I somehow worry for the people with it. Pano yon kung wala silang suppresant?

 Anyway, so my derma made me switch Meds and its 20 times more expensive. No exaggeration. I take MTX 3x for the first 2 weeks. Then its tapered down. Like for example, I take it during my restdays, once every 12 hours. So for a month, I am just taking approximately 10 tablets. One tab is worth 12 pesos. Thats 120Php for a month. Now, Im on neotigason. The fact that I need a waiver, not just a prescription, somehow makes me panic a little. I have to take Neo twice a day. For 15 days. So I will be needing 30 capsules. 1 capsule is worth 115 pesos. 250 a day. Times 30 (for a month). Thats 7500Php. Im sorry. Its not 20x. Thats 62.5 more expensive. And not just that, The progress isnt as fast as MTX.

 I am just shaking my head right now. I just hope this gets over soon. I just wanna live normally like the rest of the world does. Im on my first week taking Neo. And I have to get back to work 5 days from now. Gad.

Meanwhile, I will be finding a good domain name provider. Hope to update my blog every now and then. ^^
