Oh well so much for continuing to have pain free days. For no reason at all and with no tell tale signs it was coming i ended up having a large attack yesterday afternoon. It didn't last as long as they normally do and i was lucky i was sat in my mothers house nice and warm when it decided to pay me a visit. Then again at 3.30am this morning i was woken by the beast and this time it was a full on attack that lasted just under an hour in total. The face decided to swell up and so did my head. The scar seemed to suddenly become swollen as the attack appeared and as it started to ease i could actually feel the swelling going down. What a strange feeling it was too.
It has now left me with a bad back and neck and with shooting pains going up and down my spine with every movement i make. Even as i am sat here typing the blog i am getting pains in my back and neck and the pain seems to be spreading into my left shoulder and making feel like i have been punched. It is like i have a dead arm. I can feel cold around the top of my head so i am again assuming it is due to the cold weather that has set off the attack and made my head bad again. It is strange as i don't seem to be able to get past 3 days being pain free where as before i used to get up to 2 or 3 weeks at a time. I think it is due to the time of year and the temperatures as i know as the weather warms up and we get later into the year my attacks will start to decrease again and i will get a lot more pain free periods but that isn’t for another month yet.
I was feeling really rough and ill when i came home from my mums yesterday and it felt like i had a nasty cold coming or even the flu. When i woke up this morning due to the attack i have noticed that this feeling has gone so i must have managed to sleep it off. I am so glad i didn’t catch a cold as i wouldn’t be able to go fishing this weekend like we have planned. Myself and my step father will be going fishing on Saturday at or local fishery, Cefn Mably, to see if we can master one of their lakes and get ourselves some nice fish in the net. The only thing that will stop me from going now will be the weather so fingers crossed we get some good weather over the weekend. The forecast is for clear skies and no cloud with a temperature around 6 to 7 degrees so i am actually hoping it will be a little warmer. It was around that temperature yesterday but when you went out into the weather the cold wind was icy and actually made it feel like around 1 degrees and very cold.
