Almost at the end of a another year , Happy New Year Readers….

Yet another early morning wake up call from the beast and a painful start to the day with attack after attack. The cold weather seems to be effecting my head badly this year as its no where near as cold as it was this time last year and i am getting worst attacks than ever before. Not only are the attacks over the left side of the head and face but have now spread down the left side of my back. I also have pain across the front of my chest but this is from when i caught a nasty cold 2 weeks before Christmas and has now left me with what the doctor called Tendonitis.When i went for my appointment yesterday he said it was the muscles and tendons swelling in the chest and back and this is caused after an infection or cold.

I am hoping it doesn’t last too long and with rest and warmth it will soon sort itself out. It is very uncomfortable and painful and every now and again i keep feeling like i am going to have a heart attack as the ache and the pain over the left side of my chest is very strong. I am also getting a lot of pain down my back and when i walk again. I know it can’t be a side effect of the medication again as i reduced it to a level where i didn’t suffer the side effects. The downside is that i am getting a lot more attacks during the day once again. It’s almost the end of yet another year and still i am no closer to finder a solution to my condition. I have tried pushing the doctors but with no joy as i just can’t seem to get hold of the specialist and when i try and book an appointment with mu normal doctor it can take anything from 2 to 4 weeks to get seen and by the time you are seen you usually forget what it was you wanted to see the doctor about or what ever was troubling you is now better. Lets hope 2014 will be a lot more productive and i will get a grip on my condition and hopefully get it under control once and for all.

Again the weather is wet and cold outside so yet another day shut away indoors with sod all to do apart from watch TV , clean the flat and play on the computer. I was hoping to get out and do some winter carp fishing this year but will now have to wait until i get rid of this new problem with the chest and back. I can’t be out in the cold with these problems as it will make me feel even worst and possible more ill. I am planning to do a lot more big carp fishing this new year and will find myself camped out for a few days at a time chasing after the big record size carp so i have to make sure i am feeling strong enough and well enough to take on the challenge. Lets hope 2014 will be a year to remember and i get myself a new personal record size carp.

We had a good year this year and 2013 saw the start of my web site and fishing club and i have to admit it has done a lot better than anticipated. We have had over 1000 new visitors per month reading about our fishing adventures and we also caught more fish in one session than we sometimes catch in an entire year. We visited some great fishing venues including White Acres in Cornwall, one of the best fishing trips i have been on so far. We also managed to get sponsorship for our fishing and finally registered the dot com for our web site so we now own our own domain. Lets hope 2014 will be as productive as this year if not better.

Health wise, my whole family seems to have gone through the wars this year as my other was diagnosed and treated for cancer including having one of her kidneys removed. My brother has also suffered with his health and has a nerve that keeps trapping in the neck making him pass out where he stands with no warning. Brian, my step father, has also been having problems with his back so you can imagine we have all be suffering this year and can’t wait until we start the new year. I am hoping and praying that this year will be better and a lot more positive. I am going to try my hardest to make the new year a good one.

HAPPY NEW YEAR READERS…… 2014 MAKE IT A GOOD ONE!
