My physical pain level has dropped by being here

[Emba]

I'm a chronic paincel. Nerve damage...

I don't do the drugs because I have to beg and be tortured to get them. I stopped long ago and just endured the pain. For a long time I was a drunk. But I quit because of the next day problems and cost of maintaining the habit.

My pain level has gone from 7/10 to 6/10 by being here and interacting!

There's studies that show the effect of community on quality and duration of life - blue zones - but I never really believed it until now.

It's not like it's much of a drop, but I feel better. So that's something anyway. It's not like I can do much. But I feel less horrible.

As long as I take it easy the pain stays low. But if I move the wrong way it comes back a bit worse. Probably because it's not as expected? Like I forgot my pain a bit.

Maybe it's from knowing others are in pain too? (Mental pain is still pain) Like I'm not alone with it.

Anyway, it's good to interact with y'all!

Thanks!

Get some opioids man. Your pain level will drop to 1/10 tbh.

I know. But I have to use the more controlled kind (many hoops to jump through since I'm a baby-face) and it wears off and requires more and more to have the same effect.

Since I look young and healthy they think it's a larp, and fuck with me a lot!

Plus I don't like the zombie feeling.

Plus if I feel no pain there's a chance I could make myself a quadriplegic! Not worth it br0!

much love fellow paincel

Congratulations man

Thanks br0's!

I am still a bit shocked by it!
I'm hoping that my motivation will improve too, but that might be asking too much...

It's too easy to ldar when everything hurts and I am (feel like) dying.

Cool, bro. I think I’m getting worse in every way.

 

[Emba]

Yeah... I wondered about saying that. Lol. It sucks to have to self-censor.

Cool, bro. I think I’m getting worse in every way.

My living expenses went up... I might thread about it soom. I hope you feel better bro! It's a tough life.

Imagine how low your pain level could go if you had a girlfriend.

Yeah buddy!
Or had irl friends...
Or was loved by my community!

Ok ok. Shhh!

(Maybe if we ignore the bluepill it will go away.)

What exactly has happened to you to?

 

[Emba]

What exactly has happened to you to?

Neck injury from a childhood fall reactivated from mining work. And severe arthritis.

I fell off a slide as a kid and was paralysed for a few days.

Then I hauled mineral specimens through the woods for decades while being malnourished. It was a good gig. No people to deal with except rock shop dudes and other prospectors.

Finally it got to be too much. Cracked vertebra over grown with calcium. And bad disc. I refused the bad 40% odds of becoming a quadriplegic.

Ldar from the pain and it just got worse.

Dmso (horse medicine, illegal for human use) helped me so I am no longer paralysed when in a certain position. I haven't had any x-rays to check it though.

Cervical vertebra and spinal cord injury huh?.. arent there neurosurgeons that can fix that

Thanks, man. I actually feel a lot better now than I did when I responded to you. It’s weird how that shit works. I guess a lot of it just boils down to brain chemistry, dopamine, etc.

I can relate with the high living expenses too. I went to Costco yesterday for some dumb reason. I put some stuff in my cart assuming it would be like $50. Of course it came to $109. I swear everything is getting more expensive.

Prices are up. Sizes and quality is down! That's why I buy in bulk during sales. "Loss leaders." Just stock up when you can. Eventually you can spot the cycles of the sales.

I use a shopping list and add that stuff up! Budgeting sucks but I have to do it.

I'm glad you feel better. It helps knowing others need you as much as you need them. Like how society used to work. Except for us it's unknown and unknowable strangers that we lean on.

Yet it helps!

I'm sure my welfare/neetbuxx will get me the best (affirmative action student) surgeon money can buy! And I can recover with my birdcage-head "halo" in my shack and starve alone in comfort! I'm so confident they won't turn my disposable ugly white ass into a quadriplegic so I can go to a, "nursing home" - where they get a kickback for "recommending me" - while I drool in my bed. Slowly dying in my own filth.

Bon temps! (Non!)

70% chronic pain is much cheaper than 40% quadriplegic chances!

I'm not lucky.

i wish you the best man that sounds rough

 

[quinn24]

i wouldn't be able to put up with something like that, i probably would have bought opioids from the black market

Been there done that! Finding a steady supply and dealing with the dealer-scum is more of a task for Super NT Man! ... Way out of my budget! Booze is much cheaper.

It's more of a dull constant pain. Because I'm used to it now. It only gets to be a sharp pain if I do too much or move the wrong way.

"Does it hurt when you (insert activity)?"
... "Then don't do that!" Is my motto.

Can't you just smoke weed for this shit

 

[Emba]

Can't you just smoke weed for this shit

Legally yes. Eventually. They still are working out the details...

But it dries me out too much and that makes my arthritis worse.

Its nice to see something positive out of this site rather than shitposting. Hopefully you can work this out, life has no fairness.

This community is a great collection of individuals. I just wish some topics were spoken about a bit more maturely and well rounded. Some shit just stops being funny once youve become jaded passing your 20s. I feel there is an overwhelmingly young population in here which shouldnt be in here yet.

I agree. I think many of the teens here still have a chance. But it's hard to say.
Some of the shit on here is mighty stupid and repetitive, at least it's from a different perspective so that makes it interesting anyway.

Yeah teens need to get out. Be aware of the blackpill but they need to be aware the age they are in is their biggest advantage over the rest of us. Once you hit mid 20s welcome in.
