Well i have managed to stay attack free most of the weekend and feel great for it. I did have an attack on Friday whilst at a BBQ at my mothers witch i found very unusual as the sun was blazing and it remained hot all day. Normally when the weather is like that i don’t get any attacks building but for some strange reason on Friday i suddenly had a strong shadow appear. I was so surprised i even mentioned it to my mother about 20 minuets before the attack showed its face. It was a bad attack also as it took some time for my injection to kick in and work and instead of walking home as i had planned my brother had to drive me home in case i became any worst.
The weather has been good to us all weekend and is set to be good all week so hopefully i won’t have a repeat of Fridays attack. I will be starting my Verapamil treatment once again as from Monday onwards so i should hopefully see a huge improvement from them as well as the nice weather. Last time i started taking the Verapamil i was pain free continuously after the second week on the medication so i am hoping that when next winter comes around i won’t have to go through all the attacks and agony that i suffered with last winter. The combination of Pregabilin and Verapamil should hopefully put the beast to sleep once and for all and the attacks will soon become a thing of the past.
My stomach has started to settle down over the last week as well and although i still have the hernia in the groin area i am not getting anywhere near as much pain as i was getting. The IBS seems to have calmed down and the tablets must be working. I am still passing loads of wind though and ever now and again i get pains in my back just to remind me i have a problem. I am starting to think that the pains i get in the back have definitely got something to do with my spine as i am still getting days where i find it very difficult to walk any distance. When i do the pains become strong and spread into my bum cheeks and i have to stop for 20 minuets or so just to let the pains calm down before i continue my journey. the trouble with this is that i end up stopping about 3 or 4 times before i reach my destination and it takes me 3 times longer to get anywhere.
Well its the start of June and not long till my birthday. I can’t believe its the big 40 this year! Oh my god! where has the time gone, it only seems like yesterday i was enjoying my 30th birthday. Well i have decided to do something i enjoy for my birthday so i have decided to go fishing at one of my local lakes and spend the whole weekend or 2 days during the week, when ever the best weather is, and camp out over night to do some night fishing also. My brother is going to come fishing wit me for my birthday so it should be a fun trip and enjoyable as he is also looking forwards to it just as much as i am.
