Being woken by an attack from the Beast is really stating to get on mu nerves excuse the pun) It wasn't a mild one like most start off with nut a full blown attack as soon as my eyes were awake. My eyes opened and all i could feel was a pain like someone was trying to take my eye out through the back of my neck . My head and neck became swollen and my eye started to close up as the sweating began. I burst into sweats and within seconds my clothes and bedclothes were all soaked i had to jump out of my bed any way to take my injection so headed into the living room and took the injection. As i sat there waiting for the injection to take place all i could hear was a very load ringing sound in my ears. i have had this sound on several occasions before whilst having bad attacks and this was no different it seems to shut out all other sound until the attack becomes under control. After about 10 minuets past i could feel the injection start to take work as my chest tightens and my breathing becomes shallow and hard to take a proper breath, thankfully this doesn't last long. Then suddenly you get a curious feeling like no other come over you and unfortunately i have now way of describing it all i know is it starts to work on what ever is causing the attack and aborts it by putting it to sleep.
After you have had an injection the attacks seemed to go but you are left with a few side effects such as sore neck and back and tenderness on the side you get your attacks. The swelling of your face does take a little longer to go away but that again is just part of the aftereffects. You then have to be careful not to bring on another attack as the first 10 minuets after having an attack and aborting it you are just a, if not more vulnerable to getting a secondary attack that can be sometimes worst than the first and you are NOT allowed to take another injection as you MUST leave 1hour in between doses minimum. After the attack is over and you are beginning to feel back to normality (if the is such a thing as normal anymore) and apart from the neck aches and back pains i am back to my old self again.
My Bowels are again in trouble and i keep on getting wind for no reason. I decided on going fishing with my Mother (Trish) and my step father (Brian) up at one of out local fisheries as we all fancied a day out in the fresh air. We have all been going through a bad year lately and i for one can’t wait until this year is over and we get to start a new one. My mother had problems just like me when she first came back to Wales from Cyprus and is now wheelchair bound if she wants to go anywhere. My stepfather not only has to help my mother all the time as he is her primary carer nut he also have to contend with a very bad back and other health problems such as high cholesterol just like me, So they have been going through a lot themselves. The worst think is i know i am a moaner and tend to push my problems on my mother for advice and help but this month i have been trying to deal with them myself/ Now considering i suffer bi-polar disorder and my health has been getting me down all the time i think i am doing pretty good coping wit things but still i slip up and need peoples advice what to do.
With some warm weather forecast before the winter pushes its way in autumn we have decided to try and get as many fishing trip in as we can over the next couple of weeks as if we leave it much longer its going to all change to winter fishing. I don’t mind fishing during the winter months it just means you have to choose your days carefully and wrap up so warm not one bit of cold can get in. Lets hope the weather forecasts are correct and i will be able to get in at least 2 more trips before its time to slow down towards winter. On a more important not talking about forecasts the weather forecasts have some nasty wet days booked over the next couple of weeks so i could be in for a rough time with my head. Yet again its time to chase up my appointments and try and find out what is happening.
