The pain stayed away after all yesterday and i managed to get another day where i was able to lay in in the morning. I didn’t wake up till 8.30 today and i feel really good for it! My batteries feel recharged and i feel a little more positive today. It does help that i wrapped up during the night as i can still feel the cold around my head all the time lately and normally it would set me off with large attacks but it hasn’t for some strange reason.(let’s hope its the medication).
It drives me insane sometimes, i wake up some days and i am in absolute agony when the cold starts to bite at my head and neck, but the last couple of days it hasn’t been doing it so i am praying this is a good sign and the winter won’t turn out as bad as i was expecting it to be. There is definitely a huge drop in the temperature compared to a couple of weeks ago so i can honestly say Winter is with us and has begun!
If i go out at all i will have to wrap up and make sure i am wearing my woolly hat to keep my head warm as this tends to stop the cold from setting off any big attacks. My normal routine includes me calling at the chemist each morning to collect certain medication that has to be monitored on a daily and weekly basis but with the winter now here it is becoming more and more difficult to walk up there and get my meds. So i have to arrange with the doctors to switch it to weekly so i don’t risk bringing on any attacks unnecessarily.
Its a strange day today, the sun is shining and the skies are clear but the weather is still bitter if you go outside. This is the worst weather as it fools you into thinking its warmer than it looks and you will be fine until you get out doors and then the cold starts to get to the head so you hurry back in out of the cold to warm up as quickly as is possible. This is the weather when you start to catch colds and flu.
If this cold weather continues then i will end up having an attack for sure today, i will try everything i can to avoid it happening but it usually starts towards the evening or late afternoon. The cold normally causes the shadow to build during the day and when it comes to the night time, the attacks begin. fingers crossed this is not the case an i get another pain free day!
