I was again woken at 3 am this morning but not only by the attack from the Beast but also due to me feeling really ill and poorly. All of a sudden i have woken up with a stuffy nose, sore throat and heavy head. Also i seem to be running a temperature and keep getting hot and cold sweats as well as feeling weak and every bone in the body is aching. At first i thought i must have the flu but then remembered i had my flu injection last month so the worst it can be really is a bad head cold. What ever it is its making me feel really poorly and also making my head and nerve play up something rotten.
Not only am i getting the attacks and the head pain but the pain is also travelling down the back behind my shoulder blade again and also across the front of the chest towards the heart. every time i get pain and twinges in the front muscle i keep feeling like i am going to have a heart attack and panic begins to set in. I have to keep reminding myself its only the nerve and muscles causing the pain and nothing to do with the heart but it takes me a while to calm down again.
All over the weekend i have been getting these pains in the back and chest from the CH attacks. i know its is definitely the nerve as it only starts when my head is bad and the pains don’t appear unless i have been getting attacks. The head pain is still as strong as ever and sometimes i feel like it is getting stronger as time goes on. I can’t wait for my next appointment to finally get some other medication in order to deal with these attacks. I have been keeping busy with the flat and re-decorating so i don’t dwell on my illness all the time.
Thankfully my mate John has been a godsend with the decorating and has been there to tackle the worst jobs so i could get on with stuff i can actually do with out causing an attack to appear. By working together we managed to completely gut and re-decorate the entire flat and clean t from top to bottom as we went from room to room. So far all the work is done apart from the floor in the hallway and the floor in the bathroom. I am laying a laminate flooring in the bathroom so am waiting for John to call later today with his saw so we can cut the wooden pieces and get them laid down properly. It will look nice with a nice dark wooden floor to finish it off.
The hall way will be tiles as i decided on them as they are easy to replace if they get damaged and so easy to clean. I am hoping for the wooden block look but don’t mind plain tiles in black and white as i think that would make the floor look retro and finish off the hallway as the walls are different shades of blue with glossy white skirts and borders. The black and white flooring would finish the look completely. I will have to see what they have in stock and just make up my mind at the time. I can always change them later if i want as doing it this way makes it so cheap and easy to maintain.
