Oh what a Night!

Boy did i have a few bad attacks yesterday, It wasn’t only in the morning but also late evening when they decided to play up again and i had some of the worst attacks i remember. It wasn’t helped wit the fact that i had taken my injections earlier in the day so i couldn’t even help when they came. All i could do was massage my head and stay on my oxygen until the pain eased enough for me to relax. The pain was so strong yesterday it has left me with a constant sore face. Any area on the left side of my head is extremely tender and if i try and touch my face with my fingernail it makes it feel really sharp.

I don't know how long the soreness will last i am just praying it doesn’t set off to many attacks today. I had an early morning wake up call at 4am but luckily it was only the cold that woke me and the head wasn’t building an attack. I went straight back to bed and thankfully fell asleep until 7am this morning when i was woken by my alarm. The head is shadowing strong but that is only to be expected as the cold weather has dropped in temperature quiet a bit and that in turn has started a period of attacks. I get like this every winter so to be honest it doesn’t really surprise me.  I was just hoping that the medication would help a little when it came to this time of year.

I know the medication has done something as i haven’t been having half as many attacks as i normally do and i think yesterday was probably only as bad as it was because of me going fishing on Sunday and spending the whole day out in the cold weather. We will have to see if this happens again on my next trip out some time this week. If id does then i will really have to consider my options and ban my self from fishing in the winter months witch is something i really didn't want to do but may be forced into doing it.
