Well i managed a total of six and a half days with no big attacks. I did have two small ones that came early hours of the morning that i can only assume that it was the cold weather that set them off. This has been the longest break i have had in between attacks i have had for a long while. Yesterday lunch time was when the pain decided to come back and again it was set off by the cold wind blowing in my eye as i was walking over to my mothers house.
I have ended up having attacks due to the cold when walking to my mothers house a couple of times now and it is always the icy cold wind that has set them off and not just the temperature. I have been out when it is freezing but with very little wind and have had no problems at all so i know for sure it is the wind that triggers the beast every now and again. Yesterday was slightly different as the attack built to a point where i thought i may have to take my injection and then suddenly, just as fast as it appeared, it disappeared and there was nothing. Normally after i get an attacks or a scare i get aches and pains in the neck and back but this time there wasn’t a thing.
I am wondering if the medication is now putting a block up and each time the attacks builds the medication steps in and stops the attack.Well i sure hope so as that would be amazing. If i can get this beast tamed i will be one happy person. Even though i was again woken at 5 am this morning with a bit of a shadow and again i thought i was about to have an attack and something stopped it dead in its tracks, and again i don’t have any side effects such as the sore neck or back. This is really good news. I still think and agree with my mother when she said i may have to go up one more dose on my medication and maybe that will stop them appearing completely.
The only trouble with this condition is it is so un predictable as i could become pain free for a couple of months and then suddenly the pain will come back and the attacks worst than ever. This has happened to me a few times over the years so i know not to count my chickens before the eggs have hatched. The amount of times i have thought the attacks have finally stopped is too numerous to mention. I have gone months with no attacks and then suddenly i have had attacks every day for the next 4 months after. Oh how i pray it’s different this time!
Well the weather has started to warm up and Spring is right on the doorstep. This means it’s “Fishing” time once again. We are of to our local fishery Cefn Mably today and we are going to fish the Carp pond and see what carp they have in there. According to their web site they have quite a few different species of carp in the lake but i have learnt never to trust what you read, so its time to get out there and see for ourselves.
