Yet again i have been woken by the beast this morning at just gone 3am. Again it was an attack that just seems so powerful and painful that it over powered the injection making me ride the pain for well over an hour. The pain was so intense the ringing i get in the ears was so loud i could.t hear a thing. I tried to turn the TV on for some back ground noise and i couldn’t hear what was going on and the volume was up half way which is very loud for my TV and the neighbours could probably hear it. Again i had to change twice as i was soaked from the amount of sweat that was pouring off my body.
It didn’t help that i seem to have a cold or infection at the moment and all i can taste is a metallic salty taste that is driving me crazy. It is so horrible and makes me want to throw up all the time. I have tried different drinks in order to get rid of the taste but as soon as i stop drinking it comes straight back immediately. I went to see my doctor yesterday and she said it is possible it could be an infection but she couldn’t see any sign of it and didn't want to give me antibiotics as it would be a waste if its only a cold. She agreed that paracetamol would be the best answer as it would help to bring down my temperature and help with the pain in the back.
Whilst at the doctors i was able to talk to her quickly about the lump in my back and the pain i am in all the time and she agreed to give the hospital a push and find out why i haven't had a scan yet. She agrees that it must be pushing on the nerves in my back and that is why i am getting so much pain up the back and over the shoulder onto the chest. It also travels into the neck and can sometimes set off attacks. We won’t know for sure what is going on until they have done the scan and found out exactly what the lump is.
She has also told me to take photographs of a mole i have on my left knee that seems to have tripled in size over the period of a year. She wants me to keep taking photos every 6 weeks for a period of 6 months to see if there is still growth and at what rate it is growing and how bad it becomes. At the moment it looks normal and there is nothing to worry about but she would rather be on the safe side. As i said i don’t need any more health problems to start appearing as i have had a guts full. The last few years has been hell with all the problems i have been getting and just when i was starting to feel better i end up catching a stupid cold or infection due to me being run down. I just can’t seem to catch a break with my health.
On the good new side of things, i have gone and won a competition inline for over a £1000 worth of top of the range fishing tackle. I couldn't believe it when they notified me of my win and now i can’t wait until i get out and do some fishing. The prize will be with me this week and then i am gong to plan my first trip with the new gear. At least i have something to look forwards to instead of doom and gloom and pain all the time. Happy Days !
