Thank god for a lay in. At least i managed to stay in bed till 7am this morning. I was so tired yesterday i decided to have an early night and was going to turn in around 6pm or 7pm but when i went to lay down and rest my back at about 4.30pm i must have shut my eyes and that was the end of me. I remember waking up and realising it was 11pm so i went to the toilet and then crawled straight back into my bed and fell back to sleep rather rapid. Just goes to show how tired i must have been as i slept very heavily and didn't stir which is unlike me.
I feel brilliant this morning, as if my batteries are all charged and ready for a full day of activity. Shame its a weekend and more to the point its a Sunday, day of rest. I think i’ll sped the day catching up on some house work and cleaning as when i am ill i always let it get the better of me and end up putting it off until i get days where i feel i am able to do it with out causing myself pain or attacks. I am hoping the attacks stay away today! I don’t have any sign of the shadow this morning and my neck seems to be behaving itself. Fingers crossed i should get a pain free day at last.
Its been a while since i have had a whole day where i have been pain free so i am hoping this is the start of a break period for me. I hope the break lasts longer than 3 or 4 days. I just don’t seem to be able to push past the 4 day mark and always end up having big attacks at the end of the period. It’s these break periods that i have to take advantage of as i am able to do all the things i have put off because of the attacks and the pain. So i find myself constantly catching up on things that i have wanted to do for weeks but haven’t had chance because i keep getting attacks all the time. I also have to be careful not to try and do too much as that is just as bad as being stuck out in the cold and surely will set off attacks if i strain myself or cause my head to overheat (just as bad as freezing cold blowing on the face) and will cause the attacks to come back sooner than i want.
The weather is still freezing cold outside and very wet the last couple of days as we have seen lots of rainfall. I think myself lucky as most other areas of the UK have been getting snow. I couldn’t imagine what i would be like if i had to travel through snow everyday. I bet i would be in agony all the time. For now i will stay as warm as i can and will wrap up if i have to go out anywhere. Let’s just hope the pain free period lasts.
