I managed to stay pain free most of the day yesterday. i did have a couple of times where i thought i was about to have an attack but again they just disappeared before it could build into a painful attack. Then late in the evening i started to have, what i would describe as a mild head ache, when i turned my neck suddenly and all of a sudden i got what felt like a pulling sensation over the top of the head followed by sharp pain shooting into the neck. Also the sweat started to drip off me and within a few moments my t-shirt was soaked and i had to take it off. I couldn’t believe the amount of sweat that was coming off me, like someone had turned on a tap, i became cold as a draft caught me and made me shiver. I rushed to take my injection as the pain was unbearable but it took quite a while to kick in so i was half was through a full attack before the medication did anything. I was so grateful for the relief when it came.
I am still convinced that if i hadn’t of turned my head so fast causing me to hurt my neck i wouldn’t have had any attacks yesterday and would have made it through the day completely pain free. I still believe that the medication must be working as i am having far less attacks now and as the weather starts to improve and we move into spring i will see a lot more pain free periods and less attacks. I was again woken up early hours, about 4am, when the shadow started to play up and i could feel a strong pressure feeling on the side of my head again. This didn’t start off any attacks but was bad enough to keep me from going back to sleep.
I know we have had a low pressure front moving over us as i have been watching the weather like a hawk. This has been causing me to get some strong feelings of pressure again on the side of my head but thankfully they have not developed into anything more serious. As i am sat typing this blog i am still getting small shooting pains up the back. These are strange and i don’t know where they come from. I can only assume it has something to do with the attacks i get and hope that it will disappear as time goes on and not become any worst than it is.
Only a short blog this morning as i am feeling very tired and will try and actually get some more sleep. I will just lay on the sofa hoping that i will drift off back to sleep and hopefully get some much needed rest. I still have 10 Days to go before i get my results of the scan so i am trying to be patient but its so hard at times as i am dying to know the answers and what on earth is going on.What is causing me the attacks and why do i get so many of them. Only the scan results will be able to give me these answers so for now lets try and get some rest.
