At last a better start to the day, Don’t get me wrong i am still having small attacks but at least i managed to sleep until 7am this morning and managed to recharge a bit of energy as the attacks take it out of you. I am still getting strong shadows and have a sore neck and jaw. Its typical because just as i started to type this blog an attack ha started to build and it looks like its going to be a big one. I have just had to take my injection and have a cloth pressed up against my face on the left side eye. This is to apply pressure to the eye while the pain increases so you are able to manage the pain a little easier, Like rubbing your arm after bumping into some thing.
There is no possible way to manage all off he pain but at least the injections work. Its just kicked in and the pain has eased away. I am able to move my neck with out screaming in agony. The injections work quickly if you catch the attack just right and don't let it build and then take the injection as it will sometimes over power it and you have to ride out an attack but when you catch it early enough the pain disappears instantly. It’s such a shame i am only allowed 2 injections per day as sometimes i can have 8 or 10 attacks through out the whole day and evening and this can be agonising. They are so strict about only taking 2 injections as it can cause you big problems in the long run and you can end up with other health issues that you won’t want to deal with such as angina or heart attack.
I am now pain free for at least one hour but i know i will have more today as i can feel the cloud over my head and the pressure on the left side of the face and head. The scar on my head where it was split open swells and then the body starts to sweat that's when i know its going to be a big attack. If i get a soreness in the neck first and on the back then its normally a smaller attack that i am able to ride the pain until it is over. All depending on what warning sig get depends on how bad an attack it will be. I have noticed this only just recently whilst being woken up in the mornings at 1 or 2 am sometimes has an effect on you and by mid day you are knackered. Being woken up that time in the morning means there is sod all on TV so its either a film, catch up TV or Internet and computer. I end up reading back over my blog to see if there is any patterns to my attacks when i am bad and when i am good. The trouble is i have to sift through all the side effect problems i have had from the medication i am on. It wasn’t until i read through all the blog that i realised how much i have put my body through.
It’s no wonder i have been suffering and feeling drained and tired all the time. I think i need a tonic of vitamins to pick my body back up off the floor again and then start going for a walk once and day just to get exercise. At least it gets me out and i get fresh air. They are forecasting a very hot summer this year so hopefully i will be able to get out a lot more and go fishing a lot more again just to get me out this rut i am in at the moment. Get the attacks to stop for a while and let me have a rest or a break. Normally they almost disappear in the summer months but last year i still suffered so this year will be no different i suspect so i need to prepare myself and get things organised so i can get out a bit more.
