Well what a start to the week! I was woken by the beast twice in one morning. Firstly at 3 am but thankfully it wasn’t a massive attack and only lasted 20 minuets and then i managed to fall back to sleep. I was then again woken at 6 am by the beast this time with an attack that lasted well over an hour and left me curled up on my bed in agony and pain. I then must have fallen asleep again because i jumped off the bed and realised it was 10am.
I know i have passed out at the pain of some of the attacks but these were no where near that strong and i must have been exhausted to have fallen asleep after a second attack. My body hasn’t been to good lately with all the problems i have been having, The wind and the bowels being the main culprit and cause of most of the pains.
The pains i am getting up and down my back are different as i can feel where the pain runs and can feel it constantly connected to some part of the neck. Not only on the left side but also down the spine and onto the right side of the back as well. They are sharp stabbing pains at the points where they join the back and the neck and then i get electric shock type of pain up and down the back with every movement i make.
It looks like i have a few things that are going on with me at the moment and i can’t wait for the 4th November when i have my appointment to the chronic pain clinic where i can tell them what's been going on and see if they can answer some of the questions. I have been waiting for this appointment just over a year now and can’t wait for it to happen. i also have another 2 referrals that i am waiting for and one is for an MRI scan on my neck spine and back.
All i know is something is causing all these pains and something keeps setting of the wind and discomfort including pains in the chest. The doctor has warned me about my high cholesterol and i have had to improve my diet but each time i get a pain in the chest near the heart i begin to worry and panic. Even though i know its from the wind travelling inside the body its a scary thought having a heart attack and being home alone. I dread to think what could happen. Fingers crossed it wont get that bad!
