After being woken by the beast again in the early hours i continued to get strong shadows for most of the day yesterday and also 2 bad attacks that left me in agony and with a feeling like someone had bashed me around the head with a baseball bat.The injection managed to get rid of the worst of the attacks but only being able to take 2 per day meant it left me having to ride the last attack out with only the help of oxygen. Thankfully the oxygen works and it halved the length of time the attack normally takes.
I was surprised that my head was playing up so badly yesterday as the weather was very nice and the sun was shining. I have been getting some strange things happening the last couple of days, like my left arm suddenly aching for no reason and i can’t seem to hold my left arm up above my head for more than 30 seconds with out it hurting. Also i have been getting some sharp pains in my back so i am assuming its this that is causing these weird things to happen.
Monday i will be re-starting my Verapamil treatment and hopefully i will be able to put an end to these attacks but i think it will take time to get control of them once again. It started to work the last time i was taking the Verapamil and it seemed to stop the attacks just as they were starting. I would feel the attack build and then suddenly disappear as the medication took over. I started to see a big difference in my attacks only after taking the medication for 2 weeks so i am praying it will work the same again. I only stopped taking the medication as we thought it may have been the verapamil that caused me to become so ill and constipated but it now looks like it was just bad timing and i should be able to take the medication with out making my conditions any worst.
We are forecast for a nice sunny day again today so we are off fishing at our local lake, Cefn Mably. My mother and step-father will be joining me today and we have decided to fish on the over flow pond witch is the main stock lake for the fishery and had 1000’s of fish in the lake ranging up to double figures in weight before they move them to the larger lakes. It’s looking like we will be in for a great days fishing and i can’t wait. Lets hope the head behaves itself.
On another note, i have finally got my new teeth and they fit perfect. Mind you it feels like i have a gob stopper stuck in my mouth all the time but i suppose that will get easier as i get used to wearing them. Having bright clean teeth all the time is brill just hope they stay that way as i tried to smoke a cigarette whilst i had them in and it left a yellow stain on the one tooth that took ages to clean off. So a big note to self don’t smoke with your teeth in” as it will just turn t=hem yellow and grubby;. I haven’t yet tried eating with my teeth in and the dentist recommends that i take them out to eat for the first couple of weeks until i get used to them. He said there were a lot of people who have tried too soon and ended up biting their tongue when eating. Sounds like i have to be careful.
