Ann2012: Seriously I was also thinking that way, maybe she doesn't even take a bath this one that she's fearing water. I've not even heard of that before, that someone can fear water to that extent.

Ann2012: if it is that aquagenic something, she will bath but she should be ready for a fierce itching. my sister do cry whenever hers starts and if you see her scratching and crying, you will pity her. |
Re: Baggage Claim by Preshbeauty(f): 9:15am On Jun 29, 2020 |
Embellished: yes, you are correct. my elder sister is always afraid of having her bathe because of the fear of having itching on her skin. let's wait for damsel to prove us right though. |

Why do some women love being dramatic whenever they see a lady with their husband? that's one of the reason some men beat up and divorce their wives |

CHAPTER EIGHT Rays of the morning sun filtered into Daniel's office through the window, with the curtains slightly parted, it made it easy for the rays to penetrate. His office wasn't heavily equipped, a big desk and two armrest chairs kept opposite each other with the table standing between them. Calendars of different sickness and ailments were hanged on the wall, a shelf filled with so many files, and a water dispenser just beside the shelf. Daniel sat in his office constantly looking at the door wondering if the skinny lady would visit the hospital like they had agreed. Someone knocked, he looked at the door in anticipation before saying "Come in". A Chubby nurse walked, in smiling. "Oh, Lina, it's you" Daniel said with a smile, disappointment etched on his face. "You look disappointed, are you not happy to see me?" she asked walking to the desk. "No, of course am happy to see you. any change in my schedule?" he sighed. "Yes, the surgery on Mrs Chinwe has been shifted from 1pm to 6pm because the head doctor has called for a meeting with all the employed doctors" she stared at him trying to read his expression. "Oh yeah, the meeting, doctor Stanley told me about it. Thanks for the information" he replied and typed away on his laptop. "It's nothing doc" she replied still looking at him and when he didn't look at her, she cleared her throat before asking "What happened last night?" Daniel looked up at her, confusion embedded his face. "What happened where?" he asked. "I came to the eatery Last night but i didn't see you, when i called you on phone, you weren't picking up" she crossed her hands on her chest staring daggers at him. "Am so sorry, Lina, i had an emergency, so i needed to leave and moreover, i waited for you for a long time before i left" he took his gaze back to his laptop. Someone knocked again on the door, he shot his head up instantly staring longingly at the door. "Are you expecting anyone?" the nurse asked him on noticing the anticipation in his eyes. "Yes, a patient" he replied before saying "come in". Bari walked in with a smile. Daniel stared at her and smiled back too. She had worn a navy blue trouser, a white shirt which was buttoned up to the neck and tucked in neatly into her trouser, a red belt strapped around her waist, a red block heel shoe and a red handbag. "Welcome, please have a seat" Daniel said pointing to the chair opposite. "Alright doctor, i will be out now, see you later" the nurse said walking away. "Thanks" Bari replied sitting down. "So, what should i offer you?" Daniel asked, he hadn't bothered to reply the nurse that left. "Nothing, am fine, let's just go straight to the point" she flashed him a fake smile. "Okay. so why did you shriek when water was poured on you last night?" He leaned forward and placed his hands on the desk. "I have a sickness, a terrible ailment. Anytime my body comes in contact with water, i always have a fierce itching on my skin, i will scratch and cry at the same time Because sometimes it's always painful. The ferocious itching of all is always the itching i get whenever my body comes in contact with rain water, sometimes i will scratch and injure myself" she replied. "How do you bath?" Daniel asked calmly. "I always bath with hot water, it doesn't stop the itching though but it makes it lesser and i always apply Aboniki balm instantly after bathing" she replied casually. "Does it bring rashes on your skin after scratching?" "No, it doesn't, unless the injury i give to myself with my fingernails". "Okay" he sighed then continued "You have what is known as AQUAGENIC PRURITUS" he completed. "Aqua what?" Bari asked with a loud chuckle. "AQUAGENIC PRURITUS. There is AQUAGENIC URTICARIA too, but the difference is that the former doesn't cause rashes on the skin after itching while the later does" he replied ignoring her chuckle. "there is no type of sickness someone will not see in Nigeria" she laughed out loud shaking her head. "AQUAGENIC PRURITUS is a rare case where the skin experiences an intense itching instantly after contact with water, not more than 50% of persons have it in the whole world" he explained further. "Okay, so does it have a cure? am sure it does, let me hear" Bari asked amidst laughter. "Am sorry, but it doesn't have a cure. It is hereditary, i think someone from your family or lineage had it before you" "Blood of Zachariah!!!" she exclaimed, "It doesn't have a cure? so i will continue suffering like this?" fear could be seen in her eyes. "No, it doesn't have a cure, does any of your relative have it?" Daniel asked after laughing briefly. "My Dad had it, and it wasn't funny because anytime it rained and we were not at home, my mom would get worried and all worked up until we arrived safely" she said blinking her eyes repeatedly. "There is no cure, but instead of Aboniki balm, you can use DOXEPLIN tablets, 6mg and HYDROCORTISONE cream, they cool the body down, they will help you more than the balm you are using" he stood up, went to the shelf and took a New file then went to sit down. "That's not all" she muttered slowly. "What else is remaining? tell me everything" he urged her. "Not just water, but when i also see an irritating image or something, even on the road, the itches come even though i didn't get close to water" she stared at him keenly. "Yea, the ailment comes with it, just get those drugs I told you, they won't cure the itching but they will bring relief to your skin at that particular moment. Meanwhile, you will have to fill in your details" he shifted the file to her. "Okay" she said collecting the file from him. 10 Likes 2 Shares |
