About this blog

Chronic. Invisible. Debilitating. (and hard to diagnose.)


These 3 words describe Soeun’s physical discomfort when he is in Australia.



The actual blog part of this blog (Scrapbook) is partly things I wrote in June 2016 during Migraine Awareness month reflecting back on 2011-12, trying to understand things, as well as links to relevant articles I'm reading these days. And bits and pieces of other things about life with the Dizzy Monster.

allergy tests in Thailand

According to some tests done in Chiang Mai about 3 years ago Soeun is allergic to dust mites, house dust and cockroaches. So the doctor there reckons his inner ear symptoms come from this.

A big difference between the diets in Aus and Khmer is dairy and wheat, so that was on our sus list early on, although from our own experience it didn't seem like those were the cause. It was nice to get him tested for this and confirm that.

He also isn't allergic to mould, although that doesn't rule out getting sick from mould.
