Self Diagnosed

On Mcj's first trip to the Philippines, he got sick for more than three days. Coughing and sweating. It wasn't normal. We thought it was due to the pollution. We couldn't point out what was the cause until he came back here. After a few days of being back here, he returned to his normal state. But he also deduced that he has an allergic reaction to monosodium glutamate (MSG). You see, we always dined at chinese restos in Manila and MSG isn't a part of his diet here.

The worst part of all is, he acquired an intolerance to milk after that incident. It is a self-diagnosed allergic reaction (hence he is not wearing any medical bracelet) but he really stick to it and stopped drinking milk. The symptom was rashes.

Now, when we have chinese food even a smaller portion, he'll get this coughing attach and sweating. It's not funny.

Though, all these allergies that he got are self-diagnosed (who knows what is the effect of real allergy is), could really beat the good health out of Mcj.
