The beast is back with vengeance as i was woken up this morning at 3 am by an attack that lasted well over an hour and has left me in a lot of pain. This time the attack came on as normal and wasn’t started by the lump in my back. I woke up and suddenly burst into sweat and within seconds i was soaked through to the bone and had to change all my clothes. I took my injection but the pain was just too strong and over powered it. I still ended up getting a tight chest and breathless from the injection but it didn't seem to touch the pain level and the attack just continued. My left eye closed and a ridge became swollen over the top of the left side of my head along the scar where the head was split open all those years ago.
I have been going through hell just lately as i have been having some really strange things happen. I have been having what we can only describe as an allergic reaction to something that we can’t put or fingers on what it is. My forearms become red raw and feel as though i have been rolled in nettles and my cheeks on my face and forehead also become sore and by the end of the day my eyes become very sore. I have been taking Piriton tablets that seems to calm the arms down slightly but don't seem to stop the face or the eyes from being effected. On top of all this i seem to be bringing up a lot of acid from my stomach and this is coming out in my sweat causing me to become very sore. Also my bowels have decided to give up and stop working completely and even with laxatives and a lot of straining for hours i still can’t seem to pass anything i am praying the laxatives start to work soon as its been a week now and i haven’t been able to go to the toilet. If it lasts any longer i will be in trouble.
All these thing that are happening to me seem to have all got worst gradually over time ever since i was put on the Pregabilin tablets and my stomach became swollen and i ended up with a lot of hard internal wind. Since this happened my health has gone down hill rapidly and i haven’t even been able to get out and go fishing as i used to. I am determined to get to the bottom of all this and why it is happening so i have cut out all drinks apart from water to make sure its not something i am drinking i am also going to be very careful about the food i eat and if i see that anything makes me worst then i will stop it immediately and cut it out from my diet. This is the only way i will find out what is causing the allergic reaction. I suppose it could be the acid i am producing so i have upped my Omeprazole tablets to see if they help and they have started to ease the stomach problem so fingers crossed we will se an improvement soon.
With all the things happening to me lately it has had me very worried and scared as i thought something bad is happening and i am becoming really ill. Every test the doctors have done came back negative and they couldn’t find a cause yet here i am suffering like crazy. They have now asked for a full bloods works to try and find out exactly what is happening and also tested my urine to see if i still have any infection. The infection i did have seems to have cleared and the antibiotics did the trick even though they made me feel a lot worst at the time. All i can do now is wait for the blood results in a week and see what they come up with and in the mean time try and make myself as comfortable as i can.
I have never had so many problems all at the same time before and it is really taking it out of me. All i want to do is get well enough so i can go fishing again as i have missed out on so much this year but i am determined to make up for it over the winter and the next couple of years as soon as i get this allergic reaction under control. Today i am feeling a little better than i have been so far but when i woke up this morning because of the cluster attack i noticed that its not only my arms that are becoming red raw but the entire body. Every part of me is now looking sore but thankfully it doesn’t feel it yet nor is it itchy so i am hoping it will calm down and ease away over the next few days if i keep up the treatment with the antihistamines. Fingers crossed things will start to improve soon.
