Pain Free and a promising start to the year….

I managed a nice lay in this morning with no sign of the beast or an attack building. I continued to get pains in the back yesterday but it didn’t set off the head like it normally does and i managed to go pain free most of the day. Again this morning i am pain free so looks like i have a break period and may get a couple of days with no attack. I am hoping that is the case. its been a while since i had a period that lasted longer than 2 days break from the agonising pain but any type of break is welcome.

I am hoping it is due to the weather improving and starting to warm up as now i know i will get less attacks in the warmer weather and won’t get any where near the amount of attacks in a day like i did through the winter. With the new medication about to start, as i have my appointment with the doctor tomorrow at 4pm, i am sure i will eventually get these attacks under control and hopefully put this beast asleep once and for all. I am not sure what they will do when the beast is asleep and the attacks have stopped. If they will take me off all the medication or reduce it to a smaller more manageable amount as the amount of tablets i am taking at the moment is playing havoc with my stomach and making me feel sick all the time.

With all this nice weather and the sun out shining we should be able to get some fishing trips in before our holiday in April. We managed to go on Saturday despite the fact that the fog didn’t lift all day and tested our fishing skills to the max. Even though it was damp and wet we still managed to catch fish even though the water was so cold it felt like you was holding ice when you was unhooking a fish. We made sure we wrapped up properly and managed to enjoy a good days fishing despite the cold conditions.

With the turn of the weather and spring just over the hill i am looking forwards to a good year this year. Hopefully i will finally get to manage my condition now i know and understand what it is and why it is happening. I also feel it will be a good year for “Fishing Adventures Wales”, which is a web site i have created all about our fishing adventures and have a lot of people who follow our outings and read all about our adventures online. With this blog and my other sites i have plenty to keep me busy and keep my mind off my illness. 2013 is starting to look like i could be my lucky year, well i certainly hope so anyway!
