Looking forwards to the warmer weather

Another early attack from the beast. this time it started at around 1am and constantly played with my head until it eased away at about 4am. Several attacks in a row and a neck that feels like it is on fire/ I keep getting shooting pains over the top of the head and even though the attacks have eased off, the sharp pain is constantly there. Thank god i decided on an early night yesterday as i was feeling a little run down and suffered a bout of diarrhoea.

The shadow remained strong yesterday but didn’t evolve into big attacks as i managed to keep them from building by making sure i stayed relaxed, warm and didn’t do anything that would irritate and set of my condition. Where i was so tired it was about 4.30pm –5pm that i crawled into my bedroom and collapsed on the bed. It goes to show how tired i was as i fell asleep straight away and don’t even remember getting undressed for bed but i did at some point i know that much.

It looks like with the early mornings always being cold due to the time of year i think this is going to be my worst times for a while. I seem to be having all the bad attacks when i wake up early and end up using my injections. The attacks i get during the day are no where near as strong and i can usually ride that pain out until they are finished but it is still hard to cope with and takes a lot of my energy. I still feel a little tired even though i have had plenty of sleep. Getting up when it is still dark makes the body think it is still the day before.

I should be thankful and hope my body gets used to getting up early hours of the morning as when i do eventually start my fishing trip of the lakes and rivers of Wales i will be setting of early hours on plenty of occasions. As soon as the weather starts to get warmer that will be it i will be off fishing again as i have been missing it so much. I now have ALL the gear and tackle i will need through the year and a great selection of baits and attractants that will hopefully land me some great specimen sized fish on the bank.
