Well at least i am not being woken up by the beast and big attacks first thing in the morning any more. The temperature seems to have warmed up and it isn’t as cold as it used to be. This morning i manage to have a nice lay in till around 7.30 am but had to get up as the abscess in my mouth was killing me. I managed to burst the abscess yesterday releasing the pressure so it didn’t cause me any more agonising pain and started a course of antibiotics. I think i did well to go into the dentist yesterday and actually book an appointment to have the teeth taken out. unfortunately the dentist is so busy they couldn’t give me an emergency appointment and said the only was to get emergency treatment because i had the nasty abscess was to ring the hospital dentist and explain that i don’t have a dentist yet even though i have registered with this other dentist, the registration will not start until i get seen on the first appointment.
The problem with going to the hospital is it was them that butchered my mouth in the first place, It was the hospital dentist that ripped out all my teeth, apart from 3, because they though that was the cause of my condition and it wasn’t until after they had done the operation and i went through hell that they found out it wasn’t the teeth that was the cause of my attacks. By that time it was too late. So there was no way on earth i was going to go to the hospital to get the abscess seen to. The pain i am getting from the abscess and tooth is only 1% of the pain that i get when i have one of my attacks so i can put up with it no problem. even to the point that i burst the abscess myself and cleaned out as much of the poison as i could. The pain i was getting was nothing compared to what i normally get so found it easy to do what was needed to ease the pain.
It is actually nice to be talking about something other than the attacks i keep on getting and nice to see that they are easing off as the warmer weather approaches. I am hoping it is also the medication that has put them to sleep and hope that this pain free period (ignoring the tooth pain) will continue. If it s the new medication that has helped to stop them from building then i might not have to increase to such a high dosage of the medication like the specialist thought. but i will have to wait and see as it is possible that the attacks could come back at any time. I still get the shadow if i go outside into the cold air and the wind starts to blow against the face. It starts to build as if an attack is about to start and then suddenly stop and disappear again. I am praying it is the medication doing this and is now causing a block to stop the attacks from becoming such a nightmare again.
With the nicer weather approaching its time to start my tour of the lakes and rivers of Wales. I have been spending my spare time redesigning the web site and blog so it looks a lot more professional and easier to follow our journeys. Its only about 8 weeks until we go on our fishing holiday at White Acres in Cornwall and i can’t wait. I am going to try and get in as much fishing and practice as i can before the event so this weekend coming i am off out fishing again as long as the weather allows me to.
