So much for the pain free days! I was just woken up about 45 minuets ago and its now 02.22am. I knew it was going to be a bad attack because as soon as i woke up i was drenched in sweat. There wasn’t any sign of pain at first, all i could feel was a slight feeling of pressure and a little light headed. Suddenly there was a sharp[ [ain appear behind my eye as if someone had just poked me straight in it. Then the pain started to spread over the top of my head and down into my neck. Severe sharp pains constantly as is your face is on fire. All i could do was massage it and then rush into the front room to take my injection.
The injection doesn’t work straight away and if you leave it too late it wont work at all and the attack has to run its course. There was a sharp pain under the skin where i had injected myself and then it leaves a red circle where you press the pen down on top of you leg muscle and a lump under the skin where it has injected the medication. It takes a little while because this medication then has to slowly absorb into your system through the blood vessels in your muscle and skin.When it does take effect sometime i get a tight feeling across my chest and find it difficult to breathe. I even feel sick with it at times, but these are just the side effects of the medication.
When the injection has finally worked the attack is aborted as fast as it started. The only trouble by aborting them in this way is i am now convinced that you will end up having the attack sooner or later even if you abort them as what ever is causing the attacks to happen need to run its course in order fro them to stop for a while. Well that's what i believe anyway.
Its only a short blog today as i am absolutely shattered and need to try and get some more sleep I doubt i will be able to now as i have the strong shadow feeling and i am now sure that i will have an attack later this morning. I am just hoping that its not too painful and i can get them over and done with and hopefully get a break from them for Christmas.
