How Do You Know If You Have A Very High Threshold For Pain?
If disease activity is assessed on how much pain we are in then what happens if we are not in much pain but have high inflammatory markers?
I sometimes wonder how we go day to day with all this pain in our bodies. Just curious is what you all thought about this. We would like to hear from you. Diane (Team Member)
Hi Diane, I have started thinking about my pain in two ways. Or rather I use two 'pain scales'. I always think that this pain is a level 6 on the 'normal people' pain scale, but on my personal pain scale it is usually about a 3. So when a doctor or someone else asks about my pain, I always give them the 'normal people' answer. Just because I know that I tend to disregard my own pain or I am so use to it that it barely even registers.
I hope this helps.Yes, I take pain pills twice a day, but even with that I struggle with it. , I hope the pills are helping some. It's not an easy road to travel, trust me, I know. We are here if you need to chat. Thanks for sharing some great information with us. It is appreciated. Diane (Team Member)
