Pain free at last but for how long..

Hooray! I managed to get through yesterday with no attacks what so ever. I did have a couple of occasions where the shadow started to build but it the disappeared after time. Even though i wasn’t getting attacks i still didn’t want to risk going out in the cold wet conditions and then start of the attacks again so i spent most of the day indoors watching the TV. It was nice to be lazy and not in pain for a change. instead of having to deal with it every other minuet of the day. I have now started to appreciate the pain free days a lot more now and try and get as much done as possible normally but for some reason yesterday i just wanted to be lazy and sit watching films all day. I then decided to have an early night and catch up on sleep i have lost during the week.

I had a restless night and couldn’t stop moving for most of it, i couldn’t help but fidget for some reason but eventually got to sleep. Again i woke at 3am but it wasn’t due to an attack or even shadows. I believe i am now waking up early as i am so used to doing it when i do have the attacks. I did try to go back to sleep but only woke again an hour later so i just got up and made myself a cup of coffee. I don't have any sign of an attack building nor do i have any shadow or pressure feelings. The swelling on my head is down and i have no soreness in the neck so i am hoping it is going to be another pain free day. I am well over due a break from the beast so fingers crossed and just make sure i don’t do anything stupid to set one off.

With Christmas over and a sign that the weather is warming slightly i could get a chance to go out fishing soon so i have been concentrating on getting things ready to start my fishing trips. I have a holiday in April coming up and i am looking forwards to that as well as there is some nice fishing lakes where we are going in Cornwall so i will get a chance to fish some of them. Also my results are due from the specialist anytime in the new year so hopefully we should have some good news from that as well. I must also go and get my teeth sorted out as the three they left after the operation are destroyed and have to be removed and false ones put in place. That is something i am not looking forwards to as i am now terrified of dentists.

I am just going to try and enjoy my pain free day and hope that is continues and lasts longer than just a few days. I am still increasing my medication and have a little while to go so i am hoping the attacks will eventually become controlled by the medication and i put an end to this living nightmare. Fingers crossed, here's hoping!
