Another day feeling a little bit better but still have to battle the wind and the aches and pains as hard wind moves about inside the body. My mother had to deal with trapped wind after she had her kidney operation and they removed the kidney due to cancer. After they had closed her up and the wound healed she ended up having to deal with trapped wind for a few days and said it was so uncomfortable and sore. Its crazy just how painful wind can be. On more than one occasion i actually thought i was about to have a heart attack and then found it to be trapped wind pushing up under the chest making me feel that way.
I have tried everything i can think of to actually deal with the wind and try to pass it with out causing more pain but nothing seems to work. I have even tried Yoga exercises to try and shift the wind but with no positive results. Either i am doing it all wrong and can’t follow the instructions correctly or it doesn’t work for this kind of trapped wind. If it was trapped in the bowels i suppose the exercise would probably work but it doesn’t for the type of wind i have.
I am still getting pains in the lower back and it seems to take turns as to what side is the worst. Yesterday i had bad pains all day in the lower back on the right side and today i have it on the left side. It feels like someone has run up and kicked me in the back leaving it bruised and painful. I am just grateful the wind has stopped building up. I have been getting some strange feelings from my neck into the top of my back over the last few days. it feels like i have an elastic band from my neck stretching to the top of my left shoulder. Every time i move my neck sharply i feel pain just at the base of the scull where it feels like it is coming from and also in the top of my shoulder. This must be the trapped nerve that keeps setting off the attacks i get all the time.
The last few days i have noticed that the temperature has dropped and winter is about to knock on the door. This means i will end up having a lot more attacks in a day due to the cold setting them off all the time. the last 2 days i have had a break from the beast and no attacks have appeared or started. I am just hoping it continues for a while and i can get to see the specialist before they really start going as winter sets in. I have my woolly hat and scarf ready so i can wrap up on the coldest of days. Wearing a woolly hat seems to help and stops the attacks from building from the icy cold weather blowing on the side of the head and the face. For some reason the cold is one of my main triggers and i have to make sure i keep the flat really warm all winter, even though it ends up costing me a fortune in gas.
I am praying the winter doesn’t arrive too fast as i wanted to try and get out and do a bit more fishing before it really becomes too cold for me. I have had to wait for all these stomach problems to subside before i can make any plans to get out fishing. The weather forecast for the next couple of weeks is promising and with my stomach and bowels feeling better at the moment i may even be able to get out by the next weekend if not the following week. I think a bit of Carp fishing out ion the fresh air is exactly what is needed at the moment as being shut away all the time is not healthy for anyone. Fingers crossed, lets hope for some tidy weather.
