Battling With Multiple Sicknesses

Hi! Vernz here. I don't usually blog everyday but I want to do so now because I want to make sure that every step of this battle, I could document and I could make use of my vacant time to raise awareness. 

First, I am currently battling with vasovagal syncope, a sickness that makes the body sensitive to pain and stress, that to cope, it rushes the heart's pumping the  abruptly slows down making the brain lose blood supply causing loss of consciousness. Basically, it may be a  stress-related condition with no medicine or direct cure.

I am also treating the small lumps found in my lungs which if left untreated, may become tuberculosis or progress to cancer. Good news is, it is not contagious and it is detected early and very easy to treat. Sputum examination says it is not coontagious. So those who smoke, or are frequently exposed to smoke and don't take vitamins? Beware! Please have it checked.

I also have a very weak immune system that makes me susceptible to viral diseases. I am the one who should be avoiding human contact because I easily get sick, not the other way around. The food, the environment, and many other factors contribute to what we call "factors to take care of".


Due to the fact that my immune system is being attacked right now, there are two things found in my colon during colonoscopy and fecalysis. First, there's a bacterial infection found in the stool sample called cryptospirosis. Second, the lining of my colon has polyps, (very small, but they extracted and performed biopsy), which we are hoping is not cancerous and is treatable. I may have colitis (swelling of the colon) or IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease). We still have to hope or pray...

So right now, I need to rest. I need to drink multiple medications. I need to think more about positive things and stress is not one of them. So along with this post, I need to address also, someone who is discriminating me.
I will do it in taglish so that she will understand. I meant to post this on Facebook or Instagram but I decided to blog it instead...

"Pasensya na po sa mga makakabasa nito. Hindi ko na kasi kaya. Bawal na bawal akong mastress. Shoutout po pala sa taong di na nga muna nagtanong, nagmarunong at hindi pa nakuntento, nanghusga pa. Si Lord na po ang bahala sa iyo. Hindi ko kailangan ipagtanggol ang sarili ko dahil una, hindi naman kita kaanu-ano. Inexpect ko lang na mauunawaan mo ang kalagayan ko pero ayun... iba pa din ang ipinaramdam mo sa akin --- hinusgahan mo agad ako. Pasensya na ulit ha? Perfect ka po kasi. Pero no worries! Mailabas ko lang ito, okay na ako.

Yung tipong di pa ako nakakatulog ng maayos, yung mga sinabi mo sa akin hindi ko pa din matanggap. Sana naman, sa edad mo na iyan, makaramdam ka naman.

Kung makarating man ito sa iyo, sana maging masaya ka at mahanap mo na sana ang kapayapaan ng isip at puso. Pagpalain ka po at Hari nawa ay hindi mangyari sa iyo, sa anak mo o sa sinuman sa iyong pamilya ang nangyari sa akin. Kasi kung talagang marunong ka umunawa sa paligid mo, hindi ka dapat ganiyan magsalita at hindi ka dapat nanghuhusga ng kapwa mo. Hindi kita kamumuhian. Pero hindi na rin kita ituturing na magandang bahagi ng buhay ko. Kumbaga sa quotes eh, push away the negativity and breathe in the positivity.

Ok na ako. Ang mahalaga, nai-voice out ko na. Kailangan ko na lang munang magpalakas at nang makabalik na sa trabaho. Move on na po tayo mga kapatid! :)"

Please don't discriminate without awareness. You do not know what people are going through just to get well.

That's it for today! I will be posting, if not frequently, but enough to bring my thoughts forward! I hope you enjoy you Feb-ibig month! God loves us all! Keep the faith y'all!
