Another early wake up call this morning at 3am yet again! It’s starting to become a constant issue first thing in the morning starting the day in agony and pain. I just wish i could take the Verapamil tablets and put a stop to this once and for all but with my stomach reacting to the tablets the way it does i can’t see there being any hope of that happening any time soon.Either i am allergic to something inside the Verapamil or it is conflicting with another medication i am already taking. After taking the tablet, i can feel it starts almost immediately, but within 30 minuets of swallowing the tablet i start to get bad wind and pains in my right side about the area of the colon.
I also get sharp pains in the kidney area and this gets worst as the day goes on. The wind i also get is uncontrollable and ends up causing me discomfort and pain on the left hand side. I decided not to take the tablets again after they started off everything again the other day as i just can’t go through all that pain and wind all over again. It was bad enough the first time and the constipation was so bad i ended up having 2 enemas in one weekend. Something i would rather forget in a hurry!
Yesterday turned out to be a very bad day for me as i kept on having attacks all day long. I must have had at least 12 attacks in the morning followed by another 6 or 7 in the evening. Not all the attacks were big ones thankfully and the worst of the attacks i managed to abort using my injections and oxygen.Something else i found very strange yesterday was the fact i kept yawning continuously when i had pain in the head. It couldn’t have been due to lack of oxygen as i was breathing pure oxygen from my tank but every time i would get a pain surge i would end up with a big yawn.
My hernia has decided to play up today and remind me it was there. I haven't been getting problems from it for well over 2 weeks and now all of a sudden to start hurting for no reason is beyond me. I would understand if i had been doing a lot of lifting or walking but i don’t know of anything that could of started it off again. Unless it was carrying back my shopping yesterday that has caused it to hurt. So i have to spend the day taking it easy so i don’t aggravate it any more than it already is.
The weather over the next few days is going to be wet and windy s i am expecting a few attacks during the day due to the low pressure areas being above the UK at the moment. It is planned to clear up from Wednesday afterwards and hopefully this Sunday should also be clear. I have decided to go fishing again on Wednesday with my mate John, we have decided to pay our local lake a visit and try out some of the new Carp gear i bought for my birthday. If we manage to have a clear patch on Sunday we might be going fishing at the local river, the river Rumney and try out some of the lures i won from total outdoors during a fishing competition. You never know we could even get ourselves a nice salmon as they seem to make their way up the river at certain times of the year, fingers crossed!
