Another visit from the beast in the early hours this morning just when i thought i was in for another break period. I have managed only a day with out any attacks just to have the return them following day. I have been lucky during the summer as i have managed a lot more pain free days and have only had 2 or 3 attacks per day increasing to maximum of 4 or 5 during a bad period. This is a huge improvement compared to last year and it has helped having a hot summer this year.
Unfortunately the attack lasted quite some time this morning even though i had taken my injection. Again the pain wasn’t only in the head area but spread right down the left side of my back again and was also aggravated by the lump in my lower back. I managed to get to see my local GP this week and she said she checked on the referral of the scan and i am now on the computer waiting list so hopefully it will only be a short while until i hear from them and we can find out what the lump is and how we can stop it from causing so much pain all the time.
Not only has the lump been causing me problems and my back playing up all the time but also when i swallow food and drink. It has been trapping on the way down again and causing me almost to choke. It’s a horrible feeling and scares the life out of me when it happens and i have to massage my chest and push in the centre to help the blockage move and finally pass through with a pop. Why it keeps doing it i can only guess and need to have the endoscopy that the specialist referred me for. Unfortunately, yet again, its another appointment that will take time before i get the procedure date so have to wait patiently for the letter to drop on my door mat.
Although i have been having these problems again i am still feeling a lot better than i was a couple of month ago ad also now that i stopped smoking cannabis completely i am no longer having bloating problems. It seemed like every time i smoke the stuff i ended up with an allergic reaction. I must have become allergic from smoking it all these years and now i have had to stop which is only a good thing at the end of the day as i couldn’t smoke it when i was having CH attacks anyway as it would just make my head a lot worst so i had to give up eventually.
