You would think i would be used to waking up in the early hours due to my head but no matter how many times i get woken it always feels like the attack drains all my energy. I can’t go back to sleep no matter how hard i try and the head always feels like it’s about to explode under pressure. That's how i was when i woke up at 3am this morning! Yet another early morning wake up call from the beast again due to cold weather as i could feel the cold ring around the top of my head once again. As soon as i got up i had to turn up the central heating and place my head near the electric fire to warm it up quickly. As soon as i got heat to my head and neck the attack began to ease away. It just goes to show how the cold does contribute towards my condition and how it is one of the main triggers for setting off attacks all the time.
Yesterday was quite a bad day as i continued to get attacks through the day. I haven’t had a day like the for a while. To be honest i had thought the medication is working as i have been only getting 1 or 2 big attacks during the day and most of my nasty attacks late night or in the early hours. Yesterday was different as the attacks didn’t ease off like normal and just continued to build up during the day and cause me agonising pain. i had attack after attack and ended up spending the day laying on the top of my bed constantly massaging my head because of the pain all the time. I took my injections which did abort 2 of the big attacks but after that i was on my own. I would have used the oxygen but i was in so much pain i just couldn’t walk into the living room to sit in the chair to use it. My back was getting shooting pains constantly up and down the spine and making it uncomfortable no matter what position you was in.
Thankfully i don’t think i will be getting a repeated performance of yesterday as after my attack this morning the head has eased off and i am not getting any sign of the shadow. I am still getting smaller pains in the back but nothing i can say that is causing me big problems. As long as i am careful today and make sure i wrap up if i go out then i should be ok. Hopefully we will be going fishing again on Saturday so i am really looking forwards to getting out of the flat and doing something i enjoy so much. It depends on the weather if it is warm enough. I have been watching the weather closely as i don’t want to be sat out in the middle of a windy wet day with icy winds blowing straight into my face for the sake of fishing. This will surely set of an attack and would make the whole trip un-pleasurable. So fingers crossed for some good weather this weekend,
