With all the early morning wake up calls i have been getting lately my body clock seems to be stuck in the early morning position. No mater how much i try and lay in i always seem to wake up between 3am and 5am even if i am not getting any sign of attacks. Ok i have to admit i have a bit of the shadow and feeling of pressure on the left side of my head but the neck and back seem to be behaving itself and i haven’t had any sign of the attack building up, yet!
I am going to have to try and shatter my self so that i sleep right through with out being woken early hours again. The weather has warmed up as the forecast is above 12 degrees today so there must be rain in the horizon as my knee keeps aching and it doesn’t do it unless we have wet weather. I think that's the start of arthritis setting in. I seem to get the aches in me knee (where i had the operation for a snapped cartilage) , my shoulder (where i broke it) and my wrist ( from when it was fractured) when the weather is wet and we have rain coming. These types of aches and pains are nothing compared to what i normally get ion my head and neck so they don’t really bother me, but can get annoying after a couple of days of constant aching.
If the weather keeps warm and we get some clear days i may be able to get another day of fishing in as i have been missing it like crazy. just to be by the bank side setting up my tackle, feeding the swim and trying to catch fish seems to relax me and keep me calm even when i get big attacks building. If i get an attack when by the waters edge all i have to do is climb into my bivi or gazebo umbrella (what ever is up) and take my injection and stay in there until the attack has passed. I don’t mind this as there is no one about to see me in agony and i don’t feel embarrassed when it happens. this also allows me to continue fishing as soon as the attack is over and i don't have to retreat all the way home like i normally do when out doing other things.
Well fingers crossed the weather improves a little and the forecast is correct as on Friday is forecast for clear skies, sun shining and the temperatures should be between 9 and 12 so it will be warm enough to go fishing. If not i will just have to wait for the new year and autumn to start, With the weather warming up i am getting a lot less attacks again and i am hoping it will give the medication a chance to work. I am still not getting as many smaller attacks as i was before but i still get the big ones and they are ad painful and as strong as they ever were, sometimes i would say they are getting even stronger (if this is at all possible). Lets just hope with the warmer weather and increase in medication my head keeps improving and i get a lot less attacks.
