Another day to notch up pain free. I managed to get through yesterday with out any problems and no sign of attacks appearing. I even went out in the cold and normally i would get signs of pressure building or aches and pains as the cold air hits the face but i didn’t this time. Before i get to excited i do have some shadow this morning. A slight feeling of pressure on the left hand side of the head and the neck feels a little sore, The back has been good for the last couple of days so i am hoping that will also start to improve as the weather does. I am sure it is the cold that is getting to my back and causes me to get the shooting pains all the time. Maybe they are right about the arthritis of the back and that's why the cold weather causes me so many problems.
I am just hoping these pain free days start to last as this is now the 4th day i have gone with out a major attack happening. I have had a couple build up on me and times where i thought i was about to get a nasty one but they have just eased away or disappeared just as fast as they came. These are the times that convinces me that the medication is working to stop the attacks from happening. the temperature dropped again last weekend and the start of this week so i thought i was going to have a load more attacks again but i was wrong. I managed to get through with no problems and only a couple of attacks but this last week has been good and the attacks have stayed away. Now the temperature is set to slowly increase as we get into the start of spring.
Its almost time to renew my fishing licence and get ready for my fishing adventures. I have been so looking forwards to going fishing and visiting the different venues around Wales. I am also booked to go on holiday with my mother and step farther to Cornwall for a weeks fishing at one of Cornwall's premier fishing spots, White Acres, a complex of 10 course lakes and 2 specimen lakes. So you can imagine i am going to have the time of my life, a weeks fishing at the start of Spring! I am then going to go on holiday with my brother later in the year at another fishing destination somewhere in the UK. i am leaving the details up to him and where he decides he wants to go as long a there’s good fishing i don’t care.
I have been spending a lot of my spare time re decorating and designing my web sites that will document my journeys and adventures as i fish these different venues. I will also be launching “fishingadventureswales.com” next month as this is the main site that leads to the blog and forum.At the moment it is hosted on a free server “fishingadventureswales.weebly.com” I could leave it on this server and it wouldn’t cost me a penny to host the site but i think having my own domain would be better especially now i have companies involved in the site. I am also now an official product tester for “Total Outdoors”, an online fishing store. I will get the chance to test new products before they get released on the market. I also get huge discounts on any goods i need for my fishing adventures so it saves me a fortune and already has saved a massive amount as they sent me samples of bait and tackle to start me off.
Its all starting to fall into place and my quality of life is beginning to improve slightly. I still have a long way to go before i become well again and i also know i will have this condition for the rest of my life and have to learn to control it with the medication. I also know if i stop taking all these strong medications i will end up back in pain and the attacks will return. I have to find the happy medium in which i can control the beast and still live a relatively normal life all be it as a disabled person. I think its about time i accepted that there is nothing i can do accept follow the specialists instructions to control the beast and get on with my fishing.
