Again i woke up at 2 am with yet another early morning attack and again at 4.30am. I am not sure why i am getting them so early in the morning i assume it is due to the cold or the temperature dropping during the night or even due to me rolling over in my sleep on to my left side. In reality i think it is because of the temperature drop, i cant see how sleeping on my left hand side could keep causing me to have attacks. I know it does sometimes irritate my head and its as if pressure is building on the left, if i sleep on that side.
What does amaze me though is the fact that as soon as i wake up i am not sleepy or tired. Its as if i have been awake all the time. And when you realise that you are awake and not tired is normally when the pain kicks in and starts to hit you. The only thing you can do is breathe in your oxygen or if the attack is just too much to bare, then take your injection to abort the attack.
Well its time to see the doctor again and get another increase in my medication. The doctor has been a way on holiday for the last couple of weeks so i haven’t been able to make an appointment. Mind you i don't think i would have made it to my appointment, if i had made one, i have been so bad lately.
What i cant understand is that normally during a year i get a break from the attacks around the summer time when the weather warms up and is a lot clearer. For some reason this year i haven’t had a break from them, they have just continued through the year on a regular basis. What happened to the breaks? I am actually dreading this winter as i know that i am going to be really bad and the cold weather is sure to play havoc with my head. The only thing i can do i wrap up warm, make sure i have a woolly hat to cover my head on the coldest days and hope for the best.
