Strong shadows today? must be the wet weather…

At least i wasn’t woken by the beats and i have managed to lay in until 8am most mornings so far with the warmer weather. this is the first morning i have woken with a strong shadow feeling in a long while, well long  in my eyes. It must be down to the wet weather we are having at the moment and a low pressure area passing over us. I have been pretty good this last couple of months apart from the other problems i am having with the bowls etc., the head has behaving itself. I know i am due to have an attack or two today as when the shadows are this strong the attacks are guaranteed to happen but may not appear until early hours the next morning. I am just hoping they will be small attacks.

My bowls are playing up again and its starting to become a daily routine. Each morning i wake up and feel like someone has punched me in the back and have pressure on the right side and the left side that i can only assume is from wind. This pressure turns so sharp pain every now and again and is very annoying. I can feel the wind building inside me and the stomach rumbling and groaning so i know there is something not quite right or something irritating it. I am hoping we get to the bottom of this soon when i see the doctor next Monday.

The pains in my back have returned and even when i walk or sat still i still get the aches and pains that spread into the butt cheeks. It does get worst if i try and lift or carry anything and i suppose having a hernia at the groin on the right hand side doesn’t help to improve the condition. I have received a letter telling me i am on another waiting list to be seen by the Chronic pain department and specialist at the heath hospital of Wales. Now it took 6 months to get seen by neurology so i wonder how long this will now take?

There's not much i can do for the time being except take my medication and try not to aggravate any of my illnesses. If i was a Car they would have scrapped me by now! As time goes on it seems like more and more things are starting to appear and all i want is to feel well again. Just to be able to walk to my mothers with out getting sharp pains when i move, sickness feeling when talking and head attacks when cold. Just to be able to go back to a time when all these attacks and problems weren't around. Unfortunately that's not possible and i have had to come to terms with the fact that my health will never be the same again and my lifestyle has to change to accommodate these illnesses. I just cant wait for the weather to get even hotter as summer comes and these attacks stop altogether. You will find me fishing every chance i get.
