With spring not far around the corner and the hope of some better weather i decided to have a hair cut yesterday. Not just any old cut, i decided on having my summer scrape (so to speak) and shaved all my hair off. I now know what a dog feels like when you shave all its fur of in the middle of winter. I think it was a silly mistake to make cutting it off this early in the year. Alright i may have a tidy head now and won’t have to worry about brushing my hair when i get up in the mornings but it’s not brushing the hair that's the problem, it’s the cold. I constantly feel like there is a draft on the top of my head and around my ears. I know this will go after i get used to it but its the cold that worries me the most as it has already set of an early morning attack.
I jumped out of bead this morning as soon as i felt the sharp pain shoot from behind my eye. I tried to ignore the pain at first but it was a vain as the pain became so strong my eye began to close and swell as it has done in the past. The pain over the top of my head was so bad it was making me feel sick and the sweat wouldn’t stop pouring off me. I ran into the living room and took my injection to hopefully abort the attack but it took what seemed like ages to start to take effect and kick in. I am starting to wonder if i would have ad the attack if i still had a full head of hair.
Cutting my hair off has also left me with a bit of a predicament! I normally use a T-Shirt of soft cloth to massage my head and neck when i get my attacks as this helps to ease the pain and is one of my ways of controlling an ever increasing pain. Now the hair is gone the cloth or t-shirt, doesn’t matter which i use, seems to stick to me head as the stubble is acting like Velcro. It has now become hard to massage using this method so i am going to have to re-think this approach. normally when i do have hair it builds up static and friction and it is the heat from this friction that seems to ease the pain.
Yesterday i was feeling extremely tired during the daytime and couldn’t stop myself from constantly yawning all day long. I then decided i would have a nap in the afternoon and see if i can catch up on my sleep. Well i must have been a lot more tired than i though as i laid down to rest at around 3.30 in the afternoon only to wake again at around 2am (an hour before my first attack of the day). I must have been very tired in order to sleep all that time. Well at least i have re-charged my batteries. I will be going up my mothers today for Sunday dinner and can’t wait. Ever since Brian (my step-father) decided to take over the cooking permanently we have been spoilt with the different dishes he’s been trying and believe me when i tell you they have been delicious and i can’t wait for dinner today!
