I just cant believe my luck just lately when it comes to my health. I wasn’t woken by the beast this morning which is one good thing i suppose. My side is still killing me and after having to go to the doctor for an emergency appointment i am now on a second course of antibiotics as it is still the infection that is causing this problem.
Even though i have had plenty of sleep i still feel exhausted and as if i have been running around the block. I just got up to make a cup of coffee and i couldn’t believe it was making me out of breath just walking to the kettle and back. This is a bad infection and the worst i have ever had. The antibiotics the doctor has put me on are called Co-Amoxiciav, these were selected as the normal ones seem to conflict with the Verapamil that i take so she had to select something that was strong enough to do the job and wouldn’t react with any other medication that i am taking.
I suppose this is one of the problems you face when being medicated for the condition of CH as you will surely have to take other medications during your life and whilst on strong medication for the attacks, even if it is just keep them in remission, you will still have to be careful what medications you can take on top of what you already consume. All it takes is two types of medication to conflict and you will end up with all kinds of complications.
Well one thing i am grateful for is the beast is asleep today. I haven't had any signs of shadow building and i haven’t got any swelling on the top of my head where i normally get it. The neck feels a little sore after yesterdays attacks but still it is behaving itself and not causing me any problems. I am hoping that the weather will now slowly get warmer again and the winter is finally over and we wont have the cold freezing winds until next year. As long as it starts to get warmer i will get less attacks anyway and now with the help of the medication i should start to lead a normal life and be able to get out a lot more. Lets pray this cold spell is over soon!
