You can really start to get fed up with this. yet again woken early hours its only 2am and i have already had a strong attack. I did decide to have an early night yesterday as i was so tired i was falling asleep watching TV, I have managed at least 6 hours sleep so i feel a bit better than i have been feeling.
I have the hospital later today and am looking forwards to it as it is the scan that will give me the answers i want. I know it can take a while to get the results so i have to be patient but at least it will all be done and dusted.
The swelling on the side of my head has been very big the last couple of days and i am starting to think it is the reason why i have been so bad these last few days. If the swelling is causing some kind of pressure then that would, i assume, then cause me more pain and would also probably explain why i have had so many attacks in so few days. What amazes me is the amount of pain in the back and the spine that i have been getting. How i haven’t been able to move about properly or even walk correctly as my legs feel like they have turned into lead. I keep getting the shooting pains up the spine and also the ache at the back of the neck.
These pains normally mean the attacks have stopped for a while and my body starts to recover but i have the shadow very strong at the moment. So strong actually it feels like tooth ache but on the top of my head. It is very uncomfortable and it keeps irritating the attacks and causing them to start. i am hoping i will get a little more rest before i go up the hospital so after finishing this update i will go an put my feet up on the sofa, turn on some soft relaxing music and see if i can make my self drop back off to sleep for an hour or so.
Another thing i have to remember is to order some more oxygen. The tank is now on red so i don't think there is much oxy left in there. I am shocked how much i have used over the last couple of weeks but if you need it you need it so i better ring them on Monday and get a new supply. well that’s it for now as the head has started to calm so i am going to see if i can get some more rest.
