Do you ever wonder how normal people would react if we were able to give them our pain for a day? I feel like our tolerance for pain has gone up enough that what we feel on the day to day would make someone legitimately think they’re dying and go to the hospital

    I don’t personally have chronic pain, but I have other disabilities which cause chronic suffering if that makes sense. I apologize if this is a poor way to relate and I have no interest in which of us has it “worse” or anything like that.

    But boy do I wish I could bestow upon others a time-limited sampling of the life I live with the bonus of having people like themselves around to motivate them.

    Probably. But for the most people I am quite happy they don’t have to go through this. However, some people should really be „educated“ that way - no, I cannot just take an ibuprofen and everything is fine again.

        What actually was a bummer for me was when I take a ridiculously account of aspirin (2000mg) with highly doses of caffein+sugar (200mg caffeine) split in two doses over 6 hrs, it has actually an effect on my migraine and Assists the triptane in working. But you really shouldn’t do this too often.

        The CRPS is, well, let’s say manageable with some light opioids, novalminsulfon and thc oil.

        So yeah, thanks, I take this massive amount of medication just for fun. It gets frustrating sometimes.

        I like the phrase ibu is just candy.
