The key is to match the 4/10 pain with a 8/10 high

  “The normal amount is zero”

  “…since when?”

    I told a doctor once that I got a “normal amount of headaches”. He asked me how many that was and I told him 1 or 2 a week, to which he responded “the normal amount is 0”.

    I was in to see him about migraines.

      Consider the fact that for many in chronic pain they do not realize that many people have none. For example I have two or three headaches a year and it is almost always related to caffeine intake or lack of it.

      I’ve been in the same boat, except that it was after a few months of being on migraine medication. Told my doc I was down to normal amounts of headaches and he said “are you sure? How many?” And then we had the exact same interaction lol

    Every single person I’ve even spoken to makes me think that’s a lie.

    I don’t know anyone who isn’t in some form of constant pain.

      I had a particularly bad ingrown toenail removed once and my whole body suddenly relaxed. It felt like even my scalp was relaxing. I think chronic pain must be very stressful for your entire body.

      Physically I’m doing pretty good. I have a thing where my hip tightens up sometimes but that’s not constant. It’s the mental health that is a concern.

      I’m not. Closest is my IBS and a constant fear of being away from a toilet for long enough that it becomes an issue. Had the entire city mapped out for toilets when I had an on-site job. Then one fateful day, they closed a street, the tram had to go around and added 30 mins to the travel time. I saw it turn right and I have never felt such fear in my life since

      I used to not be in constant pain and many younger people aren’t.

      The reason why I’m now in pain a lot of the time is because I took up running this past spring. Ever since then, something always hurts… usually something in my feet but occasionally a knee will get injured or something.

      Exercise is good for you my ass!!!

  After getting old I realized why they’re called ‘trades’. You trade your physical health for money.

    I like this. Diffectively works better but someone will chime in saying you made a spelling error even with context.

    Or differctively. I’m differctive for sure.

      The name’s Diff… Diff Fective.

      You think I’m Abe Normal? No, but I have a lot of respect for them, really pushing the meta strategy further than ever.

  My RMT today was going through the initial questions and asked “pain?” With regards to my physical pain, and then went “stress?” And my brain short-circuited and I said “isn’t that the same thing” so I’d say 10/10 for both in these times, thank you.

  And the 0/10, the 1/10, the 2/10, the 3/10, and the 5/10.

  Above that you gotta do special calculus depending what the doc provides.

    6 if you want pain killers, 7 if you want the good shit, and 8+ if you want to be dismissed as seeking drugs.
