One appointment done another to go how long his time….

Well finally my appointment came for the scan on my back and the lump on the side of my spine in the lower left back. After waiting an hour to be seen the scan was over in minuets and i was told it is a fatty lump and they are not sure what if anything they can do and that i have to report back to the doctor in two weeks time for the results. That’s now 2 sets of results i am waiting on including the blood tests they did to try and find out why i was having so many allergic reactions for no reasons that we could put our fingers on.

After lots of different testing and experiments stopping different foods and drinks and medication it all turned out to be the pregabilin tablets i was put on when i was first diagnosed with the condition CH and now i can’t take them anymore as i end up having red rashes and become very ill including swelling on the mouth and face. I don;t know what else they will be able to give me to help me but at least i can still take my injections if and when i need them if a big attack starts. I am just grateful that they have been behaving themselves lately just i don’t want to count my chickens too soon as winter is coming and so is the cold weather ad that's when they become really bad,

So far i have had a good break from the attacks and have only been getting one or 2  a week for the moment with a maximum of 5 in a week and that's a huge difference considering i used to get that in a day. I am hoping this will continue and that maybe my condition is going into remission as it can sometimes do that. It has left me to concentrate on other things such as my web sites and my fishing so i am planning a fishing trip very soon, in fact it should be next weekend or during next week if the weather allows it, I will be nice to get back out in the fresh air doing something i love so much again and not have to worry about being in pain all the time.

Whilst i have been unwell and ill all the time i have slowly been building up all my fishing tackle to make sure i have everything i will need for when i go on my trips and i am proud of all the equipment i have built up and of course with the top of the range tackle i won from korum i can now honestly say i have a collection to be proud of so i cant wait to get back out on the bank and start playing with some new toys. It will b nice catching some big specimen fish to go in the photo album.
