For the last few days i have been lazy and not updating my blog due to me being very ill and full if wind. i have never had a problem like this and why it has made me feel so bad i don’t know. Even the doctors are baffled by what is going on and why i keep on filling up with wind in the body instead of the bowels. I can pass the wind that enters the bowel but can’t seem to get rid of the trapped wind up in my stomach and chest. When the wind travels up higher it starts to give me chest pains above the heart and behind the shoulder blades and no matter what i try to shift it nothing seems to work.
I have had lots of tests and scans over the last few months including an up and coming MRI scan to try and find out why i get problems with my walking and why my bum keeps going dead. The pains i get in the lower back are sharp and looks like it is down to the wind moving around the internal organs given them a massage as it goes. My head has also been playing up and again i was woken by the beast the last couple of mornings around 3 or 4am leaving me with back pain and neck pain through out the rest of the day. This mixed with the trapped wind and stomach ache has really been getting me down.
The social has decided to do another check on my illness and have sent me more questionnaires out for me to fill in and return. They seem to be really clamping down on the sick people and making them prove how bad they are. The last time i saw them i couldn’t even make it to the appointment with out having an attack and when i did make it i ended up cracking up in front of them and they apologised for dragging me out of my flat. Now i have to go through it all again but this time i will send them copies of the letters from my specialist to my doctor explaining how bad i actually am.
today is the first day i have been feeling a bit better. I still have pain in the back and still getting pains from the wind but no where near as bad as they were. lets hope this is the first day of my recovery and what ever was causing this problem has sudden;y been passed. i am starting to wonder if it was something inside the colon that caused all this problem and has now passed after 4 weeks of agony and struggling to go to the toilet all the time. Fingers crossed that is the case and i can now concentrate on my head and try and get that under control. The doctor has agreed with me to slowly reduce the medication i am taking just to see if it was that that is causing these problems. The trouble with taking a high dose of any medication is the side effects that come with it. Lets hope it isn’t the medication as the attacks will surely get worst if i have to stop taking these meds.
