Aches, Pains and more wind than a hurricane…

I didn’t quite manage another day laying in bed as the shadow decided to appear in the early hours and then woke me up at 7 am this morning. I am thankful that it wasn’t a full blown attack and it was only the shadow feeling , like a constant feeling of pressure on the left hand side of my head. It was strong enough to actually wake me from a deep sleep so i was surprised an attack didn’t appear, i think the beast must still be asleep for the time being.

My bowels have been murder this morning and i keep filling up with wind at an alarming rate. As soon as i manage to get through the pain and actually pass the wind the body is immediately replacing it. Also given the fact each time the wind touches an internal organ you get a sharp stabbing pain and because of this i have been in agony all morning. Every time i move i end up with pain and then i pass wind. It’s really embarrassing when shopping and you can’t stop releasing wind.

My neck and shoulder is also playing up this morning and the feeling like i have an elastic band trapped between the neck and shoulder and it feels like it is constantly pulling tight. Then you get the aches and pains a little electric shock up the actual nerve that is trapped in that area. At the moment my body feels like it has been battered and i am getting pains going of all over the place. The worst is in the chest and behind the shoulder blades at the back, when wind traps there it gives you constant pain and aches and until the trapped wind moves you are in a constant state of discomfort.

I am booked in to see my share care worker today over at Willowbrook surgery, the same surgery as my doctor. I am hoping that when she sees the state i am in she will help to kick the doctors up the backside and try and get something sorted for me as i just can’t keep going on like this. its bad enough dealing with the attacks from hell let alone have to deal with wind problems, back problems, walking problems and bowel problems. Ever since the one medication made me ill it has been a constant battle just to feel well and get through a day and i now think that this problem has gone on too long and something needs to be done. Whether something will get done is yet to be seen bit i am trying to stay positive so fingers crossed.
