The Cold is here, The Beast is Back!

Yesterday was one of the worst days i have had for a while. The cold weather was playing havoc with my head and neck. Every time a cold chill would blow against my cheek and eye it would set of an attack. Not small ones either, these were strong and caused my eye to swell immediately.  The pain was like someone shoving a hot poker through your eye. They would then suddenly disappear just as fast as they started. It looks like with the return of the winter weather also brings the beast with it. I ended up having around 6 attacks yesterday, a reminder of just how painful this condition is.

I am still getting pains in the side or the back. i am now a little more convinced it is a bruised muscle and not anything to really worry about. Several times the pain has changed from the lower back up to the top and then i can feel the muscle ache in the area of the pain. I am just hoping it heals itself soon as it is so uncomfortable. If its not gone by the end of the week i will just have to return to the doctor and ask her advice as to what could be causing it.

Again woken by the beast at 4am this morning with an attack.I almost forgot how my head wakes me up all the time. I am so grateful of the last pain free period i had as it lasted a while this time round. Lets hope with the new medication it will start to be a regular occurrence and these attacks will soon be under control once again. All i can do for the moment is stay warm and stay out of the freezing weather. If i do have to go out i will just have to make sure i wrap up and try and avoid setting off another head attack.
