I haven't been able to update my blog for a while due to me having an attack whilst on the computer and knocking a whole cup of coffee over my keyboard resulting in the keyboard no longer working no matter how well i cleaned it. I could still go online using the mouse to control the system but was unable to type anything or update my web sites. The keyboards are cheap enough but when you are feeling really unwell and unable to get out to buy one it makes life a little difficult. Thankfully my good friend Brian brought me over his spare one the other day so i could get back online and get my sites back up to date with everything that's been going on.
My health has gone down hill yet again despite me starting to feel better last month and having a couple of months with very few attacks. For some unknown reason my attacks have tripled again and i am in a lot of pain all the time with my head, neck and back. Every time i have a cluster attack my back ends up being in pain for the rest of the day and every time i move it makes it a lot worst and can also set off further cluster attacks as the pain travels up the side of the spine and into the base of the neck. Also i keep breaking out in cold sweats all the time for no reason. Usually just before an attack happens i end up breaking out in cold sweat as though someone has turned on a tap and suddenly i am soaked. This time i am getting the sweats but no attacks but when i do get an attack it doubles the sweat output and i end up having to change my clothes at least 4 times a day due to me constantly sweating.
I went to the doctors and told her what was happening but after checking me over she couldn't fins anything wrong that would cause it and was very confused as to what is going on. She has booked me in for some blood tests and said there is a possibility of an infection or bug but nothing seems to be showing it face as of yet. to add to the discomfort i have now again started to have allergic reactions to something unknown and my eyes are constantly sore and the same with the inside of my mouth. i think i am starting to get oral thrush again due to me being run down and the hiatus hernia i have causing problems. Trying to find out what keeps causing the symptoms has proved impossible as it just seems to come and go as it pleases and even with the help of antihistamines it still doesn't clear completely and i can constantly feel the soreness inside the mouth.
Again i have been missing out on my fishing as due to my health and also the weather being against us i just haven't managed to get out and go fishing for the last couple of months. I really need to start making the effort even if i am still feeling a little ruff and force myself to get out at least a couple more times before the colder weather comes and winter is again upon us. I have had to increase my injections early this year from 1 per day to 2 per day once again to control the attacks and i know when the colder weather comes i wont be able to get out as much as i could in the summer so i really have to try and make the most of any good weather we have left before the icy winds return. Lets hope my health starts to improve a little so i can start to plan a few trips and get back out in the fresh air, but when you are battling the beast on a day to day basis it becomes difficult to do the most simplest of tasks.
