All i can say is OUCH! I have had some of the worst attacks i have had to date. They started yesterday afternoon. I noticed myself suddenly drop in mood and get upset at the slightest thing but i couldn’t work out why. Then all of a sudden they began, first the side of the head started to swell up and the pain became so unbearable all i could do was roll on the ground in agony massaging my head vigorously. Even though i took my injection all it did was ease it for about 2 minuets and then it just started again. It was like my face was on fire. The pain just kept increasing even to the point that i started to feel light headed like i was going to pass out. Ringing in my ears became so load i couldn’t even hear the people on TV talking. Sweat was pouring off me and making me feel freezing cold.
These attacks continued through the night, one after another. I couldn’t believe what was happening. It scared me a lot last night i was even tempted to call an ambulance i was so bad. I couldn’t walk properly every time i tried walking to the toilet in order to be sick i had to hold on the the walls to guide me as i couldn’t see properly out of my eyes and i just felt like i was going to collapse all the time. Even when it got the the point where i had thought the attack had stopped all i could do was lay there on the sofa with my head in my hand and then around 5 to 10 minuets later another attack would start. Why, what had i done to aggravate it so badly. I counted over 15 attacks last night and 5 so far this morning. I can’t believe I've been so bad.
I don’t understand why it has been so bad for so many hours as i have tried to keep warm, i have been taking my medication religiously and have followed all the advice given by the doctors and neurologist and have been using my oxygen but nothing seemed to help no matter what i did. So far the attacks have stopped and its almost 6am, the start of a new day. i have had no rest what so ever and my body feels like its been run over by a bus. My head is so sore that if i touch the side it starts an attack so i can even massage it where the pain is at its worst as it just makes it worst at the moment.
I have sharp pain behind my eye and on the top of my head, the swelling is right up and my neck feels like there is something sharp stuck between the joints as every time i try and move it hurts like hell. Even sitting here typing these notes i am getting pain up the back and into the neck. I constantly feel like there is an attack building and it just don’t want to ease off. I don’t know what to do. If it continues like this for the rest of the day i don’t think i have the strength in me anymore to take another attack. Please God give me a break! I have to go lay down!
