The stress I never felt

Normally wakes up at 5:00 am to send my daughter to school.  By 7:00 am I'm already "in" for my regular work as an associate technical support. Out at 4:15 pm to transport myself to school to finish my college. Classes ends at 9:30 and need to rush in going home. At 10:30 dinner time and rest for 10 minutes after which will do the laundry and check for my daughters assignment or any project there might be. Will take a good morning sleep at 1:00 am and the routine repeats. My vitiligo became so  noticeable and started to invade my whole body. This time I was already in panic. What to do ?

The vitiligo that almost ruined my life, how it all started.

Trying to do a recollection on how my vitiligo started. It all started when I was working for Data General Philippines as an associate technical support engineer under the MIS department. I was also enrolled in Roosevelt College Marikina taking up Bachelor of Science in Commerce major in Computer Science. And I'm also a family man who needs to look for my two (2) growing up daughters while my wife was too busy as a store manager in a famous appliance store. Stress is the real culprit of my vitiligo, though my grandmother on my mother side is also inflicted with this skin disease. As far as I can remember, the company sent me for a training in the Unites States in Southborough, Massachusetts of December 1997 and it is  winter season. After the two(2) weeks training and reporting back to work, I noticed this small white circle on my right index finger. Of course I did not put too much attention that time.  Looking back, that is where it all started.
