The Beast is attacking in the early hours….

Again i have been woken by the beast at 3am tis morning and it took until, one 4 am before the pain would ease enough for the injection to take hold and stop the attack in its tracks. Again after taking the injection it has made my chest tight and my breathing deep but at least it has done its job and stopped all the pain in the head. It does make you feel weird for a while and your head feels heavy but i think that's just the drug working on the nerves calming them down and stopping the pain one by one.

The attack started as soon as i opened my eyes yet again. I didn't have chance to grab the injection quick enough to stop the first part of the attack. All down the side of my face felt like it was on fire it was that painful. The pain was shooting from behind the left eye and out over the top of the left head into the back of the neck. The body just burst into a sweat as though someone has switched on a water tap. Every time i get an attack its the same thing and the amount of times i have to change my clothes each day as i end up drenched after an attack is a ridiculous.

I am hoping that's the last attack i will have today as it seems to be like hat for a while just lately. I get the first attack of the day in the early hours o the morning and then i don't get any other attacks until the next morning. Sometimes i can get them al day long but that is normally during the colder weather. The warmer weather seems to help the attacks and keep the head at ease. Lets hope the rest of the day will be a pain free day and i can get on with things.

I have t get my script from the doctors today as it should be ready. They say they only need 48 hrs. for a script to be prepared and signed so i should be able to start my new medication soon and hope that that will help with these early morning attacks. If it does then we may have found the right medication combination to get these attacks under control, but if not then its start all over again. We will have to wait and see/
