Yet another early morning wake up call this morning at 3.30 am. Its starting to become very annoying not being able to sleep in till normal hours. Each time i wake up early due to the head starting to play up i always end up in agonising pain. The morning attacks always turn out to be big attacks that last at least 30 minuets even with my injections. They just don’t seem to be strong enough to stop these type of attacks. normally when i take my injection within 10 to 20 minuets the attack is over but for some reason these early morning ones just over power it and i end up having to ride out the attack.
I would have thought with the weather now becoming warmer the attacks would be a thing of the past but unfortunately that's just not the case this year. Each morning when the temperature is at its lowest i seem to be getting attacks all the time. During the winter period i get these type of attacks all through the day up to 8 or 1- attacks in a 14 hour period. As the weather has improved and we are coming into summer the attacks have reduced in numbers down to 2 or 8 per week, and most of these attacks seem to be happening in the early hours.
I don’t mind being up so early this morning as I am off to Ely river to go fishing with my mother and step father Brian. They went down to take a look at the disabled pegs the other day to see if it was possible for my mother to get there and actually get her wheel chair down to the waters edge so she can fish it and they found there were a couple of purpose built disabled pegs available and decided to give it a try. I have been reading in some of the fishing magazines that there has been some large fish being pulled out of the river so i am looking forwards to a great days fishing.
It has been years since i last whet river fishing as when we used to live in St. Neots just outside Cambridgeshire i used to go fishing on the river Ouse all the time as it was our local river. I was taught by a local guy that used to fish in all the competitions and became quiet good at river fishing. To the extent that i was chosen by my school to take the other students fishing during the activities week they organise just before the school holidays.
Well i am just hoping the weather forecast is correct and that the weather will be nice and warm today and the attacks will stay away. The last thing i want is to get an attack whilst fishing. Normally this doesn’t happen as when i am fishing i feel so relaxed the head seem to stay calm and behave itself. Why this happens when fishing i can only assume its due to me concentrating on the fishing and not thinking about that attacks and pain all the time.
