Still getting pains in the back although the beast is asleep!

Another nice lay in this morning! I am starting to wonder if it is the infection that is making me feel so tired all the time and lay in till 9am this morning as normally i am up at the crack of dawn. It just seems a little strange that when my body clock is used to getting up at 4 or 5 am and no matter how hard i tried to lay in i just couldn’t and now that i am suffering an infection down my right side in my lung and kidney all of a sudden i am sleeping till late morning. I should really take this opportunity to get my body clock back to normal and start waking up at 7am like i used to but even with the alarm set i just slept on through it this morning and nothing was going to wake me.

It is so nice not to be getting the attacks all the time and especially being woken by one at 3 or 4 am is something i am definitely not missing at the moment. I am still getting some mild shadows and pressure on the left side of the head as well as some shadowing going on this morning. I have looked out side to see it is raining and the weather is awful so that would explain the pressure on the head this morning. Lets just hope the head remains calm and the beast stays asleep.I will make sure i am very careful today not to aggravate my head or do anything to cause an attack to come on or start to build. I know when ever we have bad weather, even during the summer months, i risk a big attack and can sometimes bring them on just by worrying and stressing about them. If my neck starts to stiffen or my shoulder becomes painful on the left side then i am sure to get an attack.

Also when i start to get shooting pains up and down the spine it is a tell tale sign of attacks coming. The only trouble with pains in the back at the moment is i am still getting them at the bottom of the back as this is something other than my head condition and the doctor has referred me to see the back pain specialist to look into the possibility of arthritis of the back and spine. I don’t have to do anything to strain myself of strain my back and i still get pains. Even when i am just sat watching television the pains just suddenly start and make you very uncomfortable and no matter what you do to ease the back pain you just can’t get comfortable. Fingers crossed it doesn’t take as long to sort out my back as it did to get a diagnosis with my head condition. I don’t think i could go through all the years of non stop appointments and check-up's, plus the wrong medication and making me ill but i won’t go into that.
