Again woken in the early hours but this time it wasn’t from the beast and an attack but from sharp pains in the neck and back making it very uncomfortable to lay in bed. Each time i moved i would get a sharp pain shoot right up my back and into my neck on the left side of the body. I have had some strange things go on ever since my head started playing up with my condition but these are the worst i have felt in the back for a long while. It all started yesterday when i decided to get out of the flat for a bit and get some fresh air by taking a walk to the supermarket and get some fresh milk and bread. On the way over i suddenly had problems walking as my back began to hurt like nothing i have ever experienced and the pain spread into my bum cheeks. I ended up having to sit on a bench half way there and try and ease the pain i was getting. By the time i got to the supermarket i could hardly walk around the store to do my shopping.
After i had grabbed the items i wanted i then made my way back only to be greeted with exactly the same pains and problems but this time it was worst due to me carrying a bag full of shopping. If i placed the shopping in my right hand then i would get pain in my left bum cheek and on the left side of my back and the same if i put the shopping in my left hand i would get pains on the right side of my back and again spreading into my bum cheek. As to what is causing these problems i don;t know i can only assume it is the nerve playing up and that's why i am getting these pains.
The last time i had these kind of problems was when my bowels were playing up something rotten and that was down to the level of medication i was taking. Now i am at a level that doesn’t upset my stomach so bad but still i seem to have developed problems with my walking and movement again. I am assuming it is all down to the nerve that causes my attacks in the first place. I have had a couple of occasions where i was building to an attack when it suddenly stopped and instead of it spreading from the neck upwards over the top of the head and behind the eye it went the other direction and down the side of my back to the base of my spine. I am wondering if that could be what is causing the walking problems and back pains.
Only a few more days to go before its Christmas once again and i get to spend a couple of days with my mother and step father and brother. I have done all my Christmas shopping this tear early so i don’t have to worry about rushing around last minuet shopping. The only shopping i have left to do is for myself if i want any treats over the xmas holiday period but i am not in the mood nor do i fancy anything so i may not even bother yet. The only thing i really want for Christmas is to be pain free but i can’t see me getting that this year as they still have to change my medication in order to find the correct combination so i have a while before i can say i will be pain and attack free.
