So much for pain free days, the sun was out, not a cloud in the sky! So it couldn't have been the weather that started me off again yesterday. I must have had some of the most painful attacks i have had to date, the pain level was so high the whole of my face was swollen, my left eye had decided to give up and close. Even when it did open i couldn't see out of it for over 2 hours due to the amount of water streaming from it. I broke out into a sweat like you couldn't imagine, i could have filled a few pint glasses with the amount that poured off me.
If anyone had walked passed my flat yesterday, they must have thought someone was being beaten or attacked as i was in so much pain i could not help but scream out, the pain was shooting from the front of the head on the left side to the back of the head, extremely sharp pain then followed by more sharp pain straight behind the eye. It felt like someone was trying to cut me eye out of my head and had forgotten to use anaesthetic. No matter what i tried, the pain would not go.
I eventually gave in to the pain and took my injection hoping that would abort what i thought was the worst of the attacks but i was mistaken. After taking the injection i massaged my head for around 10 minuets or so and felt the injection starting to work. I went to lay down and let it takes its course hoping the the pain would just disappear like it normally did.
I lay there waiting for the pain to go and at first it did seem like it was vanishing but then all of a sudden there was like an electric shock from the back of my neck and that in turn kicked of what i can only describe as the worst attack of my life. Lasting over 2 hours i lay there praying to god for it to end. No matter what i tried i could not get it to ease off, i even waited the extra time and took my second injection thinking that would sort it out, but this time the injection had no effect. The pain just continued to rise, all i could do was massage the side of my head as the pain continued. I don't know if i lost consciousness, but all of a sudden, as fast as it had started, the pain suddenly stopped. I then had a strange taste, metallic (as if i had been sucking a battery lol), and silence. It was a strange feeling, I thought my time had come, this was the day that i die.
I then jumped up from the bed and walked into the living room, staggered a bit as i felt a bit light headed and extremely weak, the attack had seemed to have taken all the strength out of me, so i sat down for a while and watched a bit of TV just to try and take my mind off things. I then started to feel better, my strength was returning, the taste had gone, and the ringing in the ears stopped.
I have to admit that was one of the scariest nights i have had to date. I know these attacks can be bad at times and i have experienced some of the worst i believe, but never again do i want to go through that! That was the first attack i have had that i can honestly say scared the living daylights out of me!
