Woken by the call of the beast!

Woken yet again by the call of the beast! eyes’ wide open and awake, didn't even feel tired. I just suddenly woke up, at first there was no pain, i couldn’t understand why i was so wide awake all of a sudden, and the after a few moments it clicked, as i got up to walk into my living room the get my oxygen, a sudden sharp shooting pain behind the eye and then it begins.

Sharp pain across the top of the head into the back of the neck, also sharp pain behind the eye that i can only describe as someone pushing a hot poker through it slowly. I took my injection as this was building up to be a bad one, the pain increased and at first i thought the injection wasn’t going to work again. There have been a couple of times i have taken my injection and it hasn't stopped the really big attacks but most of the time it does. Was this another time it actually let me down?

I placed my face close to the electric fire again to get heat on the side of my face as this can help to control the pain, as i bent down, i felt suddenly sick and then the injection kicked in, hard! It was so much that it actually took my breath away and had trouble breathing, i felt my chest tighten so much that i actually thought i was about to have a heart attack or a panic attack or something. I have never felt like this before from the injection, this feeling was new.

I have to admit it did scare me a little but at least the pain is now under control again and i can now sit pain free for a little while. My back is now getting little shocks up the spine, and my neck is so sore but this is normal from the attack. The after affects usually end up leaving me with pains in the back and the legs normally, and a feeling like i have a golf ball stuck in the back of my neck and lead weights on my feet as i walk. I cant go back to sleep now though as i have a constant feeling of pressure on the side of the head and i know i am moments, or hours away from another attack.
