Hot and Cold flushes..

Yesterday was a strange day when it comes to my attacks and illness. I continued the day with no attacks and very little shadows until just after lunch. It was then i started to feel very rough. I started to have hot and cold sweats and the neck started to hurt and again feel like there was a ball stuck in my neck. Every time i turned my head it seemed to send shooting pains from the neck right into the front of my eye. What was causing it i didn’t have a clue.

It was then late afternoon, early evening that i started to get a blocked nose and sore throat. At first i thought it was due to my head about to play up as normally i get a blocked nose when the bad attacks appear but this wasn’t the case. Sweat continued to poor off me and i began to get a light head and start feeling sick. I was coming down with a nasty cold or the flu.

Every time i tried to relax i would begin yawning and that would pull the muscle in my neck and would end up starting off a head attack. Some of the attacks i had yesterday have to be described as some of the worst i have had to date. There was even a point last night i would have sworn i was going to die and was even praying to god to finish it quick so i didn’t have to suffer any long than was needed. I have had many attacks over the last 10 years and have had some that are so strong you even pass out with them. Last night was different. I think it was due to a mixture of having a bad cold and a bad head and they were irritating each other causing me serous pain and discomfort.

So far today i have been lucky. Last night i wrapped up in bed with the heating on full blast and the electric fire on also. Anyone who came into my flat would have sworn i had started using it as a sauna it was so hot. I think this has helped as i must have sweated out most of the cold and i don't feel so bad today. I am still getting the hot and cold flushes and a sore throat but nothing i cant handle at the moment and thankfully the head is behaving itself so fingers crossed it will remain like this for the rest of the day and i can kick this cold into touch.
