a-thought-about-my-hands

Been a while since I last left an entry here, I was physically really busy, well since I started serving the nation.

Not too long after my 22th birthday, I am currently diagnosed with Essential Tremor on both my hands, left more than right. For all of you who wonders what it is, Click HERE.

Well for all I know now for the sake of all morbid causes:
1. the tremor is set to worsen till I age to 70
2. there is no cure, just medicines with strange side effects to reduce the tremor
3. my medicine is going to cause me depression and impotence?!

On the light side, drinking alcohol actually works like my medicine, reducing the tremor till the effect wears off! Cool, now I have an official reason to indulge in drinking. :/

Worst part of the story:
MINDEF is throwing me in circles even though a professor from MMI has certified that I am diagnosed with the above, and so has a consultant at TTSH. I been a mail-boy delivering doctors letter to Tekong medical centre, and getting bounced around like nobody’s business. Hey! I care about my hands now, dammit! >.<
