My legs hurt and my arms hurt and my head hurts and I know people have it worse and I’m lucky to have arms and legs and a head but that doesn’t make them hurt any less and if I want to whine about it on my tumblr then I can. So there.

I hate when doctors ask me to rate my pain from 1 to 10. HATE IT. it’s hard to tell anymore. what used to be a 8 is now like a 4 because i’m used to it. i’m tougher. because i’m saving the 8 for when it’s a normal person’s…

@crumbsinthesand, your new pain scale is PERFECT! I’m going to print it out to take with me to the doctor/hospital. Thank you!

The pain is so bad you can hardly move. Maybe you can’t see straight. Maybe all sounds and lights are amplified.

You’re lucky enough to…

Great advice.

fibromyalgiaproblems:

The physical pain of an illness is one thing, it always sucks, but most people could deal fine with that, if that were all there was. If it was just pain, but you still got everything good out of life. What really sucks is having to miss out on the big things in life…

Damn side effects

Oxycodone is an effective pain reliever for me, but unfortunately it makes me really itchy. As in, “I want to scratch my skin off” itchy. Benadryl doesn’t help because the itchiness is a side effect, and not caused by a histamine. So I only take Oxy as a last resort, when my pain is very intense and I know other pain killers won’t be strong enough. I’ve had a horrible migraine since yesterday morning, and my regular meds weren’t cutting it. I gave in and took 1 mL of liquid Oxy an hour ago, and I just scratched my arm so hard that I broke my skin. *sigh*

With each exercise repetition is punching another person in the face who made you feel like you’re delusional or an idiot or less of a person for your chronic pain. Fuck those asswipes. You’re fucking awesome.

I’d probably go a little crazy if I was completely pain free

Like

I can’t even fathom that? I don’t remember it? At all?? And I don’t know if I could handle it???

I’m not saying I like being in pain trust me it is horrid but like seriously I don’t know what I would do I’m so used to it

I would probably run around doing all the things until I collapsed…

Yes! Thank you for articulating this feeling I’ve had forever!

I’ve thought about it and I have no idea what I’d do. Dance around? Scream? Collapse? I’ve been in constant pain for over 22 years… No pain would be a major shock to my system.

cripple-fabulous:

A friend of mine just looked jealous when I pulled out my Percocet and said, (jokingly) “I hate you.” Why do people think that those of us with chronic pain who take narcotics enjoy taking them? Why yes, I love being a constant fog, being constipated, sleepy, and nauseous….

^THIS. I wish people would understand that chronic pain sufferers take painkillers because we need them to function. Painkillers don’t make us high, they just bring us some relief.
