Oral Steroids

It's been awhile since I updated this blog. Well, there's just simply so many things to update on. So basically, I've been put on a dose of oral steroids because my eczema flared up pretty bad. Although the steroids are supposed to suppress the inflammation, they give other side effects such as mood swings, moon face, body aches... basically it messes with your body. At times I just don't feel like my normal self anymore and it's frustrating.

It frustrates me that I could not put all that I'm experiencing fully into words. Yes I find it so hard and I question God asking Him why He puts me through this. I'm physically, psychologically and emotionally exhausted.

Dear Heavenly Father,
I'm calling out to You. Only You know what I'm going thru right now. I pray for forgiveness for lacking in the faith. I pray that You'll deliver me and help me through. Only You know how much I want to be called back Home.  Father, help me seek You in this difficult time. I pray that even in this trial, You would use me and my suffering to touch the lives if other people.
In Jesus' name we pray,
Amen

Random thought #1

Sometimes I don't know what hurts more.... Failing my practical driving test or being reminded that I'm different.

Back to School

So it's my first week back to school. I don't know if it's because my room in dorm is dusty or something. .. When I went back to hall, i felt terribly itchy. It might be because it's back to the stressful environment as well... That's one thing about eczema you'd never really know the exact cause of it.

The picture of me in pyjamas. It's sometimes called the wet wrap. It's basically the application of very thick moisturiser on skin followed by a layer of wet PJs and then a layer of dry PJs. It's really uncomfortable and time consuming :( It's times like these where I really wished I was normal but I guess I don't have not much choice as an eczema sufferer.

I think I've mentioned this before. But stress does soooooooooooooooo much harm to me. I realise how much my skin flares up when I'm stressed. Other than that, my skin flares up when I'm also on my period. :((

It's hard. I really wanna be normal. -cries-
Yes, just a random update for the new year.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for seeing me through the week. Even as I experience a flare up right now, I pray for healing and Your protection. May You heal me from within and give me the peace that the world can't give. If it's Your will,  take away the stress that I am experiencing and restore my skin to perfection that only You can give. Father, I pray for other eczema sufferers as well.  May You be with them and encourage them through the tough times. Let them experience You for themselves.  Thank You Father for sending Your only son to die for our sins. By His resurrection, there is power of forgiveness and healing. I claim on the promise and receive with outstretched arms. I pray for each and every individual that may come across this post. May You let them experience You in a personal and intimate way. Keep them in Your loving arms.
In Jesus' name we pray,
Amen
