Another wake up call at 2am followed by an even bigger one at 4am is how i started the day today. I hate these wake up calls. Its weird really as when you wake up you are wide awake! not even a little tired. At first i was a little confused as to why i was awake so early and how come i was so wide awake, and then it hit me, full on, on the left side of the face. The pain shot from my eye to the back of my head like someone was pushing a hot poker through it. I ran into the room screaming in pain, grabbed my injection and jumped on the oxygen and waited for the injection to work and abort the attack.
The trouble with having your injection so early in the morning is that it leaves only one more to deal with any further attacks later in the day and i usually get some big ones if i get the early morning wake up calls. Now the attack is over i feel like i have a golf ball stuck in the back of my neck and an extremely sore eye and tender face. My left hand side of the face is slightly drooped as i look in the mirror i can see the effect the attack has had on me. I can see there is swelling on the scar on the top of my head and also on the side of my face around the cheek area and of course not forgetting the shadow!, the feeling of constant pressure on the side of the head.
You would think after suffering with these attacks for so long you would get used to them and with each day that passes they would get easier to handle but they don’t. They seemed to get worst. Each time and as the winter draws in they are getting more and more frequent. I remember the hell i went through last winter so i am praying the medication works before i start to get really bad with the attacks. So fingers crossed and lets hope something starts working soon.
