Now being woken up in the early hours of the morning by an attack from the beast and having to fight the strong pain for over an hour is no surprise but to knock myself out in the process of dealing with an attack is a new thing and boy has it left me with a sore head and a nice cut and bruise above the right eye just under the hairline. It all happened at about 3am this morning when i was woken up as usual by the feeling of pressure building on the left side of the head and sharp pains shooting from the neck over the top of the head into the eye. I jumped out of bed and rushed into the living room to grab my injection and took it. As i went to go and sit on the sofa i tripped as i caught my foot on the bottom of the computer chair. As i fell i twisted and caught the to of my head on the side of the coffee table and the wall and managed to knock myself clean out.
I don't know how long i was there for but i know it was for quite a while. When i cam round i opened my eyes and everything was blurry and remained that way for some time. I managed to get to my knees and felt very light headed and sick. I then jumped to my feet and ran to the toilet as i threw up like there was no tomorrow. I had obviously caused concussion that was why i was seeing double and feeling so sick. I remained like this for around 10 minuets and was actually considering calling 999 especially if my vision didn’t clear up. It was about 15 minuets and then my vision came back and my head started to thump from where i had hit it. I took a look in the mirror and saw that i had grazed the top of my head just where the hair stops before it goes down to your eyes just on the forehead. I must have hit it with some force as it has rung my bell and i am still feeling a little dizzy but at least the sickness has gone.
The attack didn't seem to come back after the bang on the head and i think its because the body is now dealing with something new. The right side of my head feels warm to the touch and it still hurts when i touch it. I did actually manage to get back to sleep after the bump on the head witch is strange in itself as i normally stay awake after an attack as it keep irritating the neck when i lay flat on the bed. The bump on the head and the possible concussion probably helped me to drop off to sleep. A different approach to a sleeping tablet i suppose. It’s as bad as having a mallet by the side of the bead and knocking yourself out to go to sleep, that’s the picture i have in my mind. I don’t think i ever want to go through that ever again. The sick feeling and the blurred vision really did scare me.
I know i get scared from my attacks some times but this was different, this time i thought i had actually done something myself and the bang on the head just made me picture cracking my skull open or worst giving myself a blood clot to the brain. Thank god it was only a bump and no real damage was done. It still hurts like hell at the moment but that's only to be expected, it was a big bang on the head. I think it’s going to be sore for a while and the bruising is still to come out. Having the headache is bad enough so i a hoping the beast doesn't return today and i have a break from the attacks as i need to recover from this first. The last thing i need is bad pain on both sides of the head i don’t think i will be able to cope.
