Yet again i managed to stay relatively pain free yesterday daytime and most of the evening as well. It wasn’t until i decided to have an early night when it was interrupted by a massive attack. The attack lasted about 45 minuets to an hour and left me with pain in the neck for the remainder of the night. I was glad i did choose to have an early night and even though i had an attack i still managed to get to sleep early and slept through till 4am when i was again woken by a big attack.
The attack just kept on growing in strength this time so i had no option but to take my injection to try an abort the attack. When the injection kicked in it seemed to take a while before it eased the pain this time. The attack was that strong it just didn’t want to go but after 10 minuets of taking the injection it was gone. I tried to lay down and fall back to sleep but my head and neck was having none of it. As soon as i closed my eyes i felt pain shoot over the head into the neck and the neck then started to hurt. The shadow then started to build again and it was very strong so i had no choice but to get out of bed and go into the front room.
I didn't want another attack so soon after the first one so i jumped on the oxygen. I could feel the shadow starting to ease after 10 minuets and then suddenly i was out of oxygen. I looked at the gauge and it was on the bottom of the red, empty. I then turned on the fire and placed my head next to the electric fire to warm up my head and face as this heat sometimes helps to get rid of the pain and the shadow but it was having none of it. The pain just started to get stronger and stronger and again i was forced to take my second injection so early in the day.
I have now left myself with nothing to abort the attacks during the day yet again. If yesterday was anything to go by i should be ok until this evening when the weather and temperature drops start to effect my head again. Its crazy how they have turned nasty in the mornings and evenings and seem to stay relatively calm during the day. Ok i have had a few big attacks during the day but no where near the amount that show up early morning or late evening. This is what convinces me about the weather being the trigger for the attacks.
Well it looks like another chilly and damp day today, according to the weather it will stay clear and cloudy but according to my head we have some bad weather on the way. It’s crazy how the head reacts to the bad weather and i can usually tell when we are about to have a rainy period or cold period as the head really starts to play up a couple of days before. Its shopping day today, I have to get out of the flat and do some shopping for myself as there are a few things i am in need of and every time my head gets bad i keep forgetting to go to the shops. Lets hope the beast stays away and i can have another day relatively pain free. That will do just nicely.
