Starting to feel better, but will it last?

Thankfully i managed to have a nice lay in this morning and didn’t wake until 9am. The beast must be asleep at the moment as the attacks have stopped for a while. I get these breaks in between bouts of attacks. The longest i have gone attack free in the last 2 to 3 years is about 4 days. I am hoping that as soon as i get to see the consultant we can try another medication to see if i can get longer breaks rom the attacks. When you have to put up with them on a daily basis it takes a lot out of me and i am forever feeling drained of all energy and life.

It’s no wonder my body is going crazy and i have been having some strange symptoms going on i think my body is about to give up on me. My stomach for the last 2 days have started to feel better and all the wind that is trapped is starting to move and disperse. I know its going to take a while for it all to go and i still get unexplained stabbing pains in the lower back. The doctor has now put me on a reduction of my Pregabilin medication so we can see if its that that's causing these strange problems. I have started to feel better over the last two days so i am hoping its the end of what ever was going on and maybe i passed it and didn’t realise. it could even be a small stone that passed through the intestines and that's why they could pick it up on x-ray.

The trouble is with it getting better we are no closer to finding out what it is and what caused the problems. I am scheduled to have an MRI scan shorty with the hope it will answer all these questions and why my legs keep going numb making it hard and painful to walk. At least i won’t have to fight to illnesses and can now concentrate on trying to make my head better and avoid getting massive attacks all the time. Fingers crossed i start getting better from now on.
