After the last couple of mornings being woken by the beast at ungodly hours i was absolutely exhausted yesterday. The trouble with having CH is you tend to lock yourself away and not want to go anywhere due to fear of having an attack. I managed to get out for a bit yesterday despite my depression playing up, i spent the morning at my mothers having coffee and chatting about future fishing trips we would like to go on. I then managed to rush to Tesco for some shopping as it’s like mother Hubbard's cupboard at home and i needed to get some essentials. Right in the middle of shopping i get a massive attack!
As you can imagine i broke out into sweats like the Niagara Falls, my eye started to stream and close, the left hand side of the face started to droop and swell and the top of my head started to swell up also.
The poor shop assistant who saw me rush into the disabled toilets, in order to get out of sight as i didn’t want people seeing me like this, thought i was having a stroke. She came rushing in behind me. Asking “do you want an ambulance?”,”are you ok?”,”can you breathe?”. Now why she asked the last one i can only assume she thought it could be a heart attack bless her but i managed to explain what was going on. She was very helpful to be honest but all i wanted to do was be left alone and take my injection to abort the attack. I then managed to ask her to leave me alone for 10 minuets so i could deal with the attack and she kindly left me to take my injection in peace.
Its crazy how fast an attack can come on, and sometime it doesn’t even give you clues that its about to start as i didn’t even get the shadows yesterday before the attack as i normally do. At least today i feel a bit better as i was so tired i managed to sleep right through last night so i feel my batteries are charged up a little.
The weather is forecast to be clear so lets hope i don't have any attacks today. I do have a little feeling of soreness on the left side of my face but that's the after effects from the attack yesterday as i am still having pain in the back from it. Fingers crossed!
