Again i have managed to lay in until 8 am this morning with no sign of the beast even though the weather is wet and miserable it still isn’t as cold as it needs to be to set of an attack. I am getting some strange pulling sensations in the neck and at the top of the spine between the shoulder blades. I am assuming this is the nerve that is damaged and causes me agony when it flares up. Each time i turn my head its like i have an elastic band trapped in the neck. My neck has also started to “click” again, each time i move it first thing in the morning its is as if the joints are out of alignment and when i wake up and move my head they snap back into place. I get up to 5 clicks when the neck is like this and i am sure it can’t be doing me any good.
My bowels are again playing up this morning and again i am filling up wit wind. No matter what i take or try nothing seems to help. I have had a couple of days where it seems like it is getting better and then all of a sudden i start to get bad again. It could be that the IBS i am now suffering, ever since a problem with one of the medications i was supposed to take for my head, is becoming so bad the wind i produce just doesn’t seem to stop until i go to sleep. Then when i wake up in the morning i begin to fill with wind again and by the evening i end up in agony.
Well it looks like winter is finally with us as this week is going to be a very wet one as there is no day it won’t be raining according to the forecast. The temperature hasn’t dropped as much as i thought it would for this time of year but it won’t be long before we get the freezing cold and frosty mornings. I have been preparing for winter as much as i can. I have a nice thick woollen scarf and a lovely woollen hat to go with my camouflaged rain jacket and water proof bottoms. I am determined to stay dry this year and make sure i don't catch colds or the flu. I had my flu injection last Friday so hopefully that will keep the worst away and stop anything from developing.
My fishing web site is really doing well and i have gone from 100 readers a months to 100 a week (new readers). Now the winter is here i won’t be getting out as much as i would like to for fishing and will only be catching the odd day trip to try a bit of winter carp fishing and pike and perch fishing. During the winter it is the perfect time to try out my new lures i won in a competition from Total Outdoors and see if i can get myself a winter monster. I have to be careful of the cold as not to set off any attacks as i won’t be taking my bivi to hide away in as it will be just to cold and damp to be setting it up and messing about when all you want to do is fish. Lets hope i get a few chances before the new year and the new season.
