Yet again i was woken up this morning by the beast from hell. Another large attacks that over powered my injection and lasted almost an hour even with they oxygen treatment. It’s surprising how much energy it takes from you when you have a big attack. You feel drained of all energy and so weak you just can’t get up from where you are sitting or laying. It takes a good half an hour before you have the energy to move again and when you do you still feel so tired you just want to sleep but no matter how hard you try you just can’t fall to sleep due to the constant shadow or pressure feeling on the left side of the face.
I have had to deal with these attacks for years but they were mostly occasional and only appeared every couple of months. it wasn’t until just over 2 years ago that they started to become daily. I seem to have gotten worst over time. NO matter what tricks you try or how well you learn to deal with the pain and attacks you never seem to be able to deal with the large ones. I have tried many tricks before and some new one s now i know what the condition is but i just can’t seem to be able to deal with the level of pain the large attacks bring.
Today i feel very ill and think i must have caught a cold even though the days have been hot and sunny. We have been fishing for the last couple of days and usually fishing seems to help and is a good treatment as it keeps your mind focused on something other that your condition. Unfortunately, when visiting Ely River we had to push our tackle up a steep hill for some distance and the strain brought on an attack and even though I had taken my injection it still continued. Ever since this incident i have been getting attacks for the last 2 days.
Today i feel weak and tired due to lack of sleep but also have strong shadows that are bringing on attacks every now and again so i am trying to take things easy today. Each time i stand up and try and do something i end up feeling dizzy and sick and have to leave it and go and sit down again. The weather is forecast to be windy, cloudy and rainy so its a day in resting for me i think. It doesn’t help when this weather comes as it makes my head worst so its possible that it is playing up as this weather was approaching. Fingers crossed it will improve soon as the sunny weather returns.
