With the strong shadows continuing through out the the day on Sunday i decided to have a day of rest and ended up going to bed very early at around 5pm in the evening. I am so glad i did decided to have an early night to catch up on the sleep i had lost over the week due to the beast waking me up in the early hours. I am so happy as i managed to stay asleep right the way through until 8am this morning and woke with no shadows or any sign of the beast so far. The only trouble with staying in bed for so long was the effect it has had on my back. When i tried to get out of bed when i woke up this morning i was in agony and could hardly move my back. I ended up having to roll over in bed and literally fall out of it as i just couldn’t bend my back. After 20 minuets of suffering and trying to bend the back slowly it suddenly released and returned to normal. It felt as if the muscles had all locked together and just didn't want to move and when i tried to force it it gave me bad pains on both sides of the lower back on either side of the spine. I don’t know what had caused it apart from over sleeping but i am just glad its gone and hope it doesn’t return.
I have started having problems with my back and walking ever since the head attacks turned to a daily feature and along with the pain from the beast i also get trouble walking. I used to think it was the medication causing it but as time has gone on and my medications changed i am still getting trouble and it is getting worst. I am now even getting trouble with my arms, strange, but as i am typing the area of the shoulders and the under arms are aching like crazy and i have to drop my arms to my sides to rest for a while before i type my next bit of the blog. I can only assume it must be something to do with what ever is causing me back problems as i can feel the muscles pulling and the aches and pains as i move and type. If i sit and try and twist in my seat my back starts to hurt and the pain returns so i have to try and sit as still as is possible but this makes things very uncomfortable. I have never had problems lifting my arms before and it feels like i just don’t have any strength to hold them up but i know i have had plenty of rest and other than the back and arms playing up i am fine, and the head is behaving itself.
Fingers crossed i should get my appointment with the specialist this week and will be able to get some extra help with everything that is going on. It is really starting to worry me as my movement is becoming very restricted and my back more painful as time goes on. Each time i have a big attacks in the head i end up virtually paralyzed as it is just too painful to move. It seems to take days to recover from a bad attack instead of just hours like before. This is showing and telling me that things are slowly getting worst and its not until you sit down to write your blog and look back over older notes that you realise that you are getting a lot worst than when you started your blog. I am just praying the specialist will be able to help and hopefully have some answers as to what is happening to me and why my back and movement is now paying the price for my illness.
