Clock up another pain free day! I didn’t get anymore attacks yesterday despite the weather being horrible and cold. Another cold start this morning woke me up again at 5am but at least i wasn’t woken by the head and the attacks i normally get. I do have a little bit of a shadow there but nothing that will make me worry about getting an attack today.
The weather is not looking great for the rest of the week and weekend. We have more rain forecast for later this evening and more floods on the horizon. I am shocked with the amount of rain we have had in the last few days it is like it is trying t catch up for all the days that we had rain free. there have been so many places shown on TV that are flooded and with out power so i just pray that this wet period will end soon as i have my head scan next weekend and i don't want anything to stop that from happening.
At least it will be dry today so i can at least get all my shopping done and stock up ready for a wet and miserable weekend ahead. I am hoping the cold weather doesn’t start to play havoc with my head again and start to set of these attacks again. Normally i only get 2 or 3 days pain free in between bouts of attacks so i a am hoping for a longer rest period this time. I know the medication is working so fingers crossed.
I have been waking up late just lately this is due to not being woken by the attacks as i normally am and with out having the pain i have been able to remain asleep and lay in for a couple of days but i just know as the weather will start to become even colder and we get Christmas out of the way i just know i will be in agony in the early mornings and late evenings. It seems that this is the time i am most vulnerable to the attacks and they always seem to happen when you are least expecting them to.
The trick with staying warm by wearing a woolly hat during the cold periods works only 50% of the time. I also find if i wear it for too long and i overheat i can also set of an attack so there are days that can become very frustrating as i don’t seem to be able to win when it comes to keeping the attacks at bay. At the moment i am attacks and pain free, lets hope it lasts!
