Colleague and I both had a mild weatherchange migraine today and as we described our symptoms to each other laughing, the third colleague was like "that sounds horrible, how are you laughing? Why are you at work?!" Sometimes I forget that my painscale 2 is most peoples 5 or 6.
being horny all the time is annoying af btw. I like not being horny. I like not getting 9/10 painscale period cramps every month and feeling weirdly "womanly" but also moody and aggressive and getting water retention in my boobs as well, somehow.
Apparently I don't deserve an entire painfree week, got hit with a painscale 6-7 migraine 3 hours ago and the meds don't work.
Times when Mindfulness fails me outright * An AQI of over 200 / Anytime I can't breathe * When I'm coughing too much, too often * When my pain generates nausea ( 8.0+ / 10 ) * ANY nausea (My average daily pain is 7.6 /10) My painscale ogretrollhammer.com/wookiewiki/i...
Recently me and my friend have been discussing how if we follow the descriptions we have been under describing our pain by several steps. I would say I am at like a 2.5 maybe but if I read the descriptions it's around a 6. And the mistake is that I didn't realize it was a logarithmic scale.
I found a pain app, called PainScale, that has a journal for pain levels, triggers, symptoms, treatments, etc and creates charts out of that data AND had articles on different conditions and pain management techniques and I really like it so far!
