Caro diario Page #5

I'll give you:
Anfo 3 for the shower..

then, after the shower, ldroskin..

then Infloran, a tablet

in the morning on an empty stomach.

Then Atarax, a tablet

in the morning and one in the afternoon.

I like to take

medicine and to believe

...that it works

However the substitute seemed embarrassed

and so I couldn't trust him.

That was the only time

when I didn't go

to buy the medicine.

Then I returned to the

dermatological institute

not to the dermatology ward,

but to the allergology one.

- With these tests...

- Mind the naevuses please...

We'll find out if

you're allergic, as I believe.

First of all we'll test you

with groups of substances:

...food, dusts, pollens...

and then we'll locate

every single substance.

I was given thirty punctures

a day for seven days.

So far the results are

that I'm allergic to a few groups,

such as milk and by-products, walnuts

and seeds, fish, pork meat.

Afterwards they'll single out

the various types of food

that I'm allergic to specifically,

and that I cannot eat.

I'm allergic

to many types of food,

so I have to order a vaccine.

Here they are:

"Corn, barley, oat, garlic,

onions, mustard, almonds,

beans, soy, peas, broad beans,

chickpeas, parsley, artichokes, lettuce, tea,

linseed oil, hop, pepper,

chestnuts, salmon, sardines, tuna,

cow's lactalbumin,

cow's and goat's casein,

gruyere, gorgonzola, parmesan cheese

provolone, Dutch cheese,

and swine.

The itch continues,

but thanks to the recommendation..

by a friend I get

an appointment with the "prince",

a few days

before the summer holidays.

Colopten three times a day,

Cinazyn, twenty drops after eating,

a vial of Caprolisin

at 6.00 p.m..

and after dinner, alternate

Fenistil Retard, Xanax and Atarax.

An evening one

and an evening the other.

- Yes, alternate.

- Very well.

These four products

for your legs and arms,

EcovaI ScaIp Fluid,

for the itch to your head,

three or four drops in the evening.

and wash your hair daily

alternating these three shampoos.

Every day.

Every day.

Alright.

Moretti, you have to help me.

My family and I are your supporters.

Thanks.

And even if it's summer, you have to wear

cotton socks up to your knee,

Because I see

that you aren't wearing socks.

Not in summer, no.

Cotton socks up to the knee,

and long-sleeved shirts,

also on the beach.

Your skin has to be in touch

with cotton all the time.

And now I'll give you the number

of my holiday home.

Thanks.

When you return

you'll feel better already.

I hope so, and please excuse me

if I have come all of a sudden.

Miss, special price for Mr. Moretti.

Caprolisin, Ecoval and Cinazyn...

And also the ointments,

Ictyane, Akerat...

Enterogermina and Colopten.

Yes, and Ictyane,

Akerat, Soagen body,

Fargan ointment,

and the shampoos, Factan...

Apolar and Mavigen.

All of the three?

Yes, I have to alternate them.

So:
Colopten, Enterogermina,

Ecoval, Cinazyn, Atarax,..

Caprolisin, Xarax, Fenistil.

Ictyane, ApoIar,

Fargan...

...Until one day I read

the pieces of paper which go with the medicine.

I never do it.

Caprolisin, let's see:

"anti-hemorrhagic, suitable

for the hemorrhagic syndromes

"due to high fibrinolysin,

internal haemorrhage..."

Caprolisin

anti-hemorrhagic, bye-bye.

Then, Cinazyn:

..."it helps blood circulation,

it increases the blood flux,

"brain spraying disorder".

So Cinazyn

helps the circulation. Bye.

Dear diary,

the vaccines have arrived.

Only for safety's sake,

I ask for an opinion

to an immunologist friend of mine.

Hi Guido, this is Nanni.

Quite well thanks.

Listen, I'll spare you the details,

however, around a month ago

I did a few tests

and resulted allergic

to many types of food.

I ordered some vaccines

which have arrived today.

Of course I...

Anaphylactic shock?

He tells me that

those vaccines are useless,

and that they can also give

anaphylactic shock.

The itch has nothing to do

with food allergies

They give you urticaria,

which means blisters on the whole body,

not just itch.

And so I start going

to dermatologists again.

One of them, even if

not so famous as "the prince"

should be quite good,

and so I go to see him.

The motor-scooter is broken,

I had to take the car.

More than a hour of traffic

and traffic makes me nervous.

One goes to a physician because he feels

sick, and pays them to be told:

You're a loser. You have

a psychological problem,

it all depends on you.

I am sorry, but you're a loser.

Look at you:

why are you scratching?

It itches.

But there is no urgent need for that.

Yet, you're scratching.

However:
Trimeton vials, in the evening

for seven days.

FenistiI retard,

a pill after dinner,

and Legederm, when needed.

Thanks.

I have given you the medicine,

but remember:
it's all up to you.

Today I was convinced that the cause

for my itch is psychological.

It depends on me, it's all my fault.

I try to remember what I have done,

what happened eight months ago,

when the itching started.

Everything depends on me,

the doctor says I have to collaborate,

resist and not scratch myself.

All depends on me,

and if it depends on me

I am sure that I won't make it.

My mother has given me

a silk pyjamas

and sheets of linen

to attenuate the itch.

At night there's

not only the itch now.

I fall asleep

and wake up half an hour later.

I sleep an hour

and half, two hours average.

You know, a lady underwent

my treatment for some time,

and her cholesterol went down.

These are things

which give satisfaction.

Of course, but see,

I don't know what else to do with the itch.

You have to avoid all the red food,

tomatoes, carrots, oranges, strawberries.

Really, no red food.

Good, because last night

I've been scratching myself all the time.

Yes, I see a wound

on your big toe, here.

The big toe is your head:

you wanted to hurt your head

last night.

And what should I put on it?

Some ointment?

Make a compress

with cabbage leaves.

Just half-cook it in hot water

and then apply as a compress.

It's much better.

I have understood, that's perfect.

I didn't know if those massages

would do me any good.

But they wouldn't do me any harm.

They were beautiful, pleasant,

very relaxing.

The reflexologist prescribed me,

besides the calendula based ointment,

blackberries and drops

of tilia tomentosa.

Then she told me to have baths

with tender wheat's bran.

I keep growing thin

and start sweating at night.

So I decide to go to a centre

of Chinese medicine.

Two physicians visit me,

Chu Hu and Yang.

They feel my pulse,

then swap places.

Have you taken a lot of wind?

Wind? I often ride a motor-scooter

but Rome isn't very windy.

No... in the Chinese medicine the itch

corresponds to the wind in the blood.

Stick out your tongue.

It's white and sticky.

Lowering of kidneys?

Lowering of kidneys?

The doctor would like to know

if you had any sexual excess last year.

No.

Ouch.

- Does it hurt?

- A little.

These are the last two, eh.
