The head continued to play up yesterday with my last attack lasting over an hour and half. I have to say i am so happy that i am at the hospital today! At last i will get a chance to ask some important questions about this condition and how to manage to pain. Yet again i had attacks during the night and early morning hours waking me up. At least this time i managed to force myself back to sleep other wise i would be absolutely shattered for my appointment and i didn't want that.
I have learnt so much, in the last few months, abut managing this CH and the pain attacks but i still haven't managed to solve the problem with my neck and the swelling that comes with it. My neck seems to be getting worse and worse as time goes on. Its like having a grinder inside my neck that is constantly grinding the neck joints away making it feel saw and painful all the time. I know in my heart its nothing like that and its probably caused by a swollen or damaged nerve. But until i get a full diagnosis on it i wont know for sure.
Another thing that has been bothering me is the pain when i walk. I am not talking just normal aches and pains, like you get when you have arthritis in the joint (all though that can be just as bad), but shooting pains up the front of the legs(you would think it would be the back) into the bottom of the back and then up the spine to the base of the neck. Just lately after having my attacks i have been getting these pains more regular and now even when i get PF days i can still sometimes get the aches and pains in the legs and back, strange eh!
Well i had a good rest yesterday even with the attacks i was having so i am recharged for my hospital trip. Fingers crossed and lets hope for some good news.
