The Call of the Beast!

Yet again i was woken at 3 am not quite knowing why i was wide awake at that time of the morning and then it hit me! Sharp pain from behind the eye shooting over the top of the head on the left and into the back of my neck. Pain like you couldn't imagine. By the time i got up and went into the bathroom to go to the toilet my eye had already swollen up and was dripping with water. The neck felt like i had a golf ball stuck inside it again and every movement felt as if it was grinding away the bone.

Even after taking my injection it took at least 20 minuets to stop the attack and again i had to jump on my oxygen bottle to help me deal wit the level of pain i was getting. Each time i tried to stand up it started to make my head throb so i just sat back down and waited patiently for the attack to finish. It's crazy how strong pain always seems to make me feel sick. I know its not the actual attack that is doing it so can only assume its the level of pain i get that makes me feel ill but so far i have never actually been sick when having an attack.

It can't be the weather that has caused this attack as it is sunny and warm and even when i woke up early this morning i wasn't feeling cold in fact it was the opposite as i kept throwing off my quilt during the night where i was so warm. The last couple of days i have been getting a few attacks again and think it could be down to stress as the other day when i was trying to update my blogg i ended up shorting out my computer and something went bang. It was either the monitor or the computer itself that has broken. When i tested the system it started up ok when the screen wasn't connected but as soon as i connect the screen to the tower it just doesn't want to turn on. This tells me there must be a short in the monitor itself. Thank god it wasn't the tower itself as there is loads of work on the hard drives that i have still not backed up and at one point yesterday i thought i had lost it all for good.

Its not long till my birthday and my birthday fishing trip where i will be spending the entire weekend down at my local lake camped out in my new bivvy. My brother will be joining me for the first day and a few friends will be popping down and joining me for the second day of fishing. I will get a chance to try out all my new fishing tackle and see if i can master my local lake and catch the monster carp that is in there. I a waiting untill i get the right 2 days of clear weather and then we will be off so i am looking to go a week Saturday or a week Sunday, i can't wait.
