Another early wake up call has me screaming in pain at 3am. Yesterday must have been one of the worst days i have had in a while. I must have had around 8 or 9 large attacks and a good 6 or 7 smaller ones through out the day. The worst was around about lunch time when, i can honestly say, i experienced one of the largest attacks i have had so far. I took my injection when i started to feel it building but again for some reason the injection had no effect. The pain just continued to rise in strength and i believe at one point i was on the edge of passing out. The sweat just streamed off me again and the ringing in my ears became so loud i couldn't hear myself think. As the attack came towards its end, normally it disappears just as fast as it started but this time it left me with one heck of a sore head.
I couldn’t massage my head as normal as every time i touched it i was in fear of it starting up again. I could feel a tingling sensation all over the left hand side of my head. A strange feeling i have only encountered a couple of times with the bigger attacks. Even when i tried to see out of my eye i couldn’t because its just a blur and is still streaming from the big attack.
I have noticed that my attacks have decreased in length just lately. Normally the attacks last anything up to an hour or even an hour and half but just lately they don't seem to last past the 30minuets stage. I thank god they aren’t as long as they used to be but they feel just as bad. It may be the medication i am taking starting to effect my condition and starting to work. I really do hope that this is the case and my fingers are crossed tight in hope.
At the moment i am feeling extremely tired from the early morning wake up call but i can’t go back to sleep as i can feel the shadow strong. This feeling of pressure building on the left hand side of the head is a horrible one. It makes it worst knowing that it is what leads to the attacks so it makes you a little paranoid, as soon as you start to feel it build, you are anticipating the onset of yet another episode.
