After a great days fishing yesterday i was completely shattered so decided to have an early night. I was a bit nervous about going to sleep as i keep expecting my head to start playing up or to start feeling pressure on the left hand side but nothing. So far so good!
I have woken this morning again with no pain so hopefully i will have a pain free day. However, i am getting pain in my back right at the bottom of my spine! It could just be from sitting for a long period fishing yesterday but it feels exactly the same as it does after i have had a big attack. I also moved my head quickly to the left to see something on TV whilst sat at the computer this morning and it cracked about 3 times and then i felt a small twinge where i normally get the tell tale sign of an attack starting.
I tried massaging my neck gently as not to irritate anything and start any pain and i can feel where the specialist injected me it is very sore and tender. I know for sure the injection worked as by now i would be in extreme pain and agony but its not the case. As to how long this injection will last i am not sure, as the neck seems to be getting sorer by the hour but still hasn’t started an attack so all i can do is take it easy for the next few days and see what happens.
The specialist told me they are arranging a brain scan for me (actually means i have a brain lol) and increasing my medication again to see if anything works. If it doesn’t then they will take me off the one type of medication and start me on another, “so its going to be trial and error for a while”, he said, “but it will be worth it in the end”, i will be able to live a normal pain free existence once i have it all under control.
