Yesterday was one of the worst days i have had in a long time. The attacks would not stop coming! It seemed the harder i tried to keep the attacks from building the more attacks i would get. I have to admit i was doing loads of running about in the morning as i had to top up my electric and gas and had to do some basic shopping as my cupboards were looking a little bare as i keep on putting it off due to the head. I managed to get all my shopping and house work done by lunch time only to be rewarded with one of the most painful afternoons i have had ever. The attacks were one after each other and it seemed like they were just getting worst each time. I was able to abort what i thought was 2 of my worst attacks by using my injections but as soon as i had the second one within half an hour of taking it i ended up with yet another attack. No matter what i tried they just kept on coming. I know for a fact i had over 10 attacks in the afternoon and another 4 or 5 during the night.
I was again woken at around 3am this morning with a small attack and a very sore neck. After the attacks yesterday it has left me with a very bad neck. Even keeping still it is hurting. If i try and move it from side to side i get shooting pains straight over the head and behind the eye. I also have some very strong shadows so either it is the after effects of yesterday or i am in for another very painful day today. I can’t wait to see my specialists to ask him why this just keeps on happening and what i can do to stop them form building. Not long to go now only a couple of weeks and i will get some answers.
The snow has been washed away by all the rain at last. The temperatures have risen slightly and it looks like we are slowly going to start improving over the next few weeks. I don’t think the cold spell has quite finished yet and we are sure to get a few more days where it drops into the minuses and the cold winds will still be there. I am continuing to make sure no matter what i stay wrapped up warm as it has helped me to control the amount of attacks i have been getting. It is starting to look like i managed to get through this winter with out too many problems unlike last year when i was getting so many attacks i couldn’t even visit my mother. Lets hope this weather now holds of till spring.
With the forecast for milder weather i am now watching the skies with anticipation waiting for the break in the weather where i can go fishing again. I have had to miss my first competition match of the year being held tomorrow at Cefyn Mably Lakes, my local fishery. This is the start of the winter league and now i will miss out. With this cold snap still in play and icy winds blowing across the water there is just no way i could sit there at the moment with my head the way it is. I couldn’t imagine the amount of pain i would be in if i did go and fish it. A small part of me was hoping it was going to be postponed until the start of next month and maybe i would have got away with fishing it then but these things happen and these are the sacrifices i must make in order to stay well.
