Again i was woken up this morning by strong shadows and a sore neck. No matter what i try as soon as i am awake i cannot get back to sleep. Even though the attacks are not appearing i am still getting a feeling of pressure on the left side of the head and the scar at the top of the head is swelling up so i could have an attack at any time. I am surprised it has played up so badly as the weather is lovely at the moment and looks like we are having a heat wave as it is set to increase through out the week right up until the weekend.
Myself and John decided to go fishing yesterday along the local river to what it is like. we decided to try the Tidal end and see if there is anything in there. Apart from one wild trout we didn’t see any sign of fish until we almost got the the sandy area. Then we started seeing little dab’s just in the bottom sand and silt. It was a shock to be honest as we thought there were a lot more fish than that and as we travelled along the river bank we were trying different swims and tactics to see if there was anything there but nothing seemed to want to feed so next time i will have to try the other direction for the fresher water fish.
My back was playing up all day long and i was grateful that we were stopping in different areas so that i could rest my back slightly before moving on. Again this morning it has been non stop and i keep getting sharp pains shooting up and down the spine. The back is really playing up and it is of course making my neck and head feel worst. Each time i get a shooting pain up the back into the neck it then aches for around 10 minuets and if it becomes too painful it will then start an attack building and once again i end up in agony or worst i get a full attack.
It’s mad how different parts of the body can cause you to get a headache or can cause you pain in the neck. I suppose its because all the nerves join at the base of the neck so one nerve that is damaged or slightly swollen will effect one of the others making it feel worst than it actually is. I have started to notice that the pains i am getting in my back are becoming stronger and i am suffering from a bad back a lot more than i used to so i think it is getting worst.
My appointment is Tomorrow with the doctor so i will have to point it out and see if she can push the referral to the back specialist. especially now its becoming awkward and uncomfortable and even laying still at night can still be uncomfortable and end up keeping you awake half of the night due to pain. I will also have to look into getting a better mattress for the bed as the one i got is a few years old now so i suppose it id due to be changed and any little help at the moment will be gratefully received so maybe a more comfortable mattress will mean less pain.
