    my heart goes out to everybody on this thread who has chronic pain or any such other conditions that prevent them from being in a state of complete painlessness. let’s nevertheless take this moment to be grateful to our body for everything it does for us. i hope you all feel better, in some way or the other.

    Oh my version of this is the stuffy nose. It’s the worst trying to sleep when both nostrils are clogged. I’m going to take a moment to appreciate my clear nostrils rn

    On the flip side, when a particularly stubborn one finally goes away, it’s such a huge relief. It’s pure joy to just not be in pain.

    A bad headache really is among the worst things one can experience. I luckily almost never do. It’s the only thing I’ve ever experienced that I could imagine leading to suicide were it to be chronical with no cure. Not even a bad depression has made me imagine that.

      I’m that person with chronical headaches/migraines

      It sucks but unfortunately after a while you just kinda get used to it.

      I do what I can to minimize the amount of time I’m out of commission.

      Shit sucks…but I’m still here

        Dang, I’m in the same boat. Botox injections have started helping, but there’s usually several weeks at a time where every day I have migraines. If I didn’t have to help with kids and family, I’d probably just be in bed half the day. But, as you said, you just get used to it.

        Wishing you relief, internet friend!

    This is the case with anything to do with health. And often the best feelings are when some form of unpleasantness dissipates.
