At first i actually thought i was dreaming as this sharp pain appeared in my back and felt as though someone was cutting it slowly up the left side of my back and in behind the shoulder blade. In my dream i had dreamt that i was in an accident and the pain i was getting was from a part of the car sticking in my back. As the pain grew stronger it shocked me and i suddenly opened my eyes to realise i was no longer dreaming and this pain was real. As i moved out of my bed the pain shot up my shoulder and into the neck. It was at that point i realised it was the Beast and the nerve was in pain again and i was about to have a huge attack.
As the pain started to get stronger and spread over the top of my head all i could do was run into my living room and take my injection as quickly as i could. The plunger went down and the needle into the leg. It seemed as though it was taking ages for the medication to run into the leg as i was in so much pain by this point. The needle then gave a click letting me know it had completed the injection and it dropped to the floor at the same time as i did grasping at my head screaming in agony as it was like someone had just pushed a hot poker right through my eye.
Yet again the attack had started so fast i didn’t have enough time to take the injection before the attack in order to abort it so i was praying it will have some effect and help with the level of pain i was getting. i waited and waited what seemed like forever and then suddenly i could feel the injection kick in and my chest tighten and my breathing shallow. Then suddenly the pain numbed and then as though to flick a switch it was gone. Again it has left me with a sore neck, a throbbing head and sharp pains in the back behind the shoulder blade but at least the worst is over for now. I think i was luck as it could have over powered the injection as it sometimes does and i would have ended up having to endure the pain for over an hour.
As soon as i was able i switched on the heating to get the flat warm as i believe it was set off by the cold as when i woke at 4am with the attack i could feel the cold on the top of my head. They are forecasting some nasty weather on its was so i am praying it doesn’t get too cold as i know i will have a lot more attacks to get through before the day is over. I just wish they weren’t so painful and severe as its so hard just getting through one attack let alone 3 or 4 in a day. I get so tired now days it’s as though each time i have a row of attacks it gets harder and harder to get through.
