Well yesterday wasn’t as bad as i was expecting, I didn't have any other attacks through the day and the shadows that i normally get seemed to ease off during the day. It was still bitterly cold yesterday so we are definitely in for a very cold winter this year i recon , time to wrap up again. It wasn’t until i decided to go to bed, then after i got my self all warm , jumped into bed, covered myself up so no cold could get in then all of a sudden my head went.
The pain started at the top of the jaw this time instead of behind the eye. It does sometimes start at the jaw and this is how i was fooled into thinking it was a tooth nerve that was causing all the problems. The pain increased rapidly, a lot quicker than when it starts behind the eye but the effects are the same. My eye started to stream with water and the eye began to close whilst the side of my face began to droop as usual. Then came the pain at the top of the head stretching from the front to the back and into the neck. By the time i got up and grabbed my injection i was already in a state, each time i took a step a sharp pain up my back and along my spine kept me from moving too quickly. I took my injection and then sat in front of my electric fire rocking back and forth with the pain trying to control how sharp it was by massaging my head at the same time.
As soon as the injection kicked in you could feel it attack the pain and start to numb the areas that were hurting so badly, it is amazing at the speed these attacks come on and then when it is over how quickly they just stop again. Its as if someone has flicked a switch. I didn't have any other attacks apart from that one yesterday and my head is feeling ok today, so far!
I am just hoping this cold weather doesn’t keep causing attacks to start as its going to be a long enough winter with out the cold playing its usual part. I don't have any shadows this morning but i have been fooled like this before and the last time i thought i didn't have any shadows and went out into the cold i ended up in agony for over a week so i think i will be safe rather than sorry and still wrap up with my woolly hat and scarf.
