I am in a really bad way….

Again i have been letting my blog slide not because i haven’t wanted to sit down and write about my illness but because i have been so unwell just lately. I wish i could say it is because of the Cluster Attacks being bad all the time but in fact they have been really good for the last few weeks. I have only been getting one or two attacks per day that i can control using the injections i have. The main problem is i seem to be having an allergic reaction to something or i am being poisoned from the inside.

Each morning i wake up and my forearms are red raw and feel like i have been rolled in nettles or fiberglass. My cheeks on the face and forehead are also just as bad and my tongue is swollen and mouth feels like i have swallowed fiberglass or pepper. What is causing it i really haven’t a clue. I am swelling up like a balloon and my bowels will no longer work properly. I am really suffering badly. I am booked to see the doctor at 3.30pm and have had to suffer like this all weekend. Thankfully i got some Piriton tablets that has helped to ease the worst of it and i can swallow again but i can still feel that something is effecting me.

At one point i thought i could be because i have been bunged up and constipated for so long that i am being poisoned from the inside or it has turned septic but the nurse said to me that wasn’t possible. It sounds gross but every now and again i can smell poo and it makes me wonder if it is coming out of my paws and sweat or even my breath but then when i check my breath it is fine. What is happening to me? I am really worrying all the time as it doesn’t seem to get better. I have cut out all the things i thought it could be such as coffee and tea and even soft drinks such as orange or fizzy drinks. I am only drinking water now.

I also washed all my clothes again and put it through a heavy rinse to make sure there was no washing powder or soaps left in the clothes just in case it was something in the washing powder that they have changed. I am now only having one meal a day and am very picky what i am eating as i am afraid it is something i could be ingesting and that's why i feel poisoned at the same time as having the allergic reaction. I am getting pain in both my sides every now and again and keep breaking out in a temperature and sweat. I am praying the find out soon what is happening as i feel that one day i won’t wake up as my tongue may swell up and throat and stop me breathing in my sleep. Twice i have woken up suddenly finding it very hard to breath and had to run in and take the tablets to ease the effects. God help me!
