The attacks did continue through the day yesterday, i feel so exhausted today i could sleep for a year if only my head would let me. We have had really strange weather this year and i think that is the reason why i have been suffering non-stop.
Normally i get a break from the attacks around the summer months, when the weather is at its best, and then the attacks return and become at their worst in the cold winter months. This year has been completely different, it seems like i get them every day and only ever manage a week possibly two weeks break if the weather is nice. I am now dreading the winter months and what they have install for me. Last year with the snow we had was absolute murder. Every time i tried to go out side the flat door the cold would catch the side of my head and start off an attack.
I had to wrap up with a woolly thermal hat and a thick scarf that i had to wrap around my face to make sure the cold chill could not get in. I Looked like something out of the north pole expedition team. Mind you it worked well!
Again i was woken up at 4am this morning with another head attack, its really getting me down as the first thing i have to go through in a day is pain. I no longer look forward to my days as i know what's in store for me. Just to be able to wake up and not have pain, i have forgotten what that is like this has gone on that many years now.
I have been slowly increasing these Progabilin Tablets that are supposed to help my head, started off on 25ml in morning and same again in the evening and have now increased to 75ml, so i take 150ml per day total and i haven't seen any difference in the attacks or the level of pain i get. I know they can take time to get into your system but surely i should have noticed something. As it stands the only two things that really do help is the daily injections and the oxygen.
Well the weather is a bit better today but for how long i don't know. I have the shadow today, that real horrible feeling of pressure on the side of the face, so i think i will be seeing a few more attacks before the day is over. Injections at the ready and oxygen primed, its the only way to prepare for the start of the day.
