Firstly, blogs shouldn't really be used to ask questions. You should go to the Forum for that.

On the subject I would do a little research into this to see if you can't narrow down the issue. Try playing a different character to see if the issue lies with your character save or the game itself. Try using one of your souls to force reset the counter. Maybe even look around to see if there might be an unofficial patch for this.

Without really any personal experience with this particular bug I can't really think of much more to help.
