Chronic pain is truly the worst. I'm in pain all the time. Like I mean literally all the fucking time. Your base is supposed to be zero and I would say on a normal day I'm at 7-8 on the pain scale. And other people in my life forget that, because the chronic pain is not in their body, it's in mine. I'm the one who has to live in pain constantly and everybody else around me forgets that I'm in pain (must be nice, I'll never get to forget that I'm in pain because it's constantly there 🙃) because some days it's not as bad as others, or some days I have to power through the pain and just do things (even though I'm in an extreme amount of pain!!) because it's the only way the thing will get done. And it's just exhausting. It's frustrating being in pain all the time. I would not wish this feeling on fucking anyone. Be nice to people with chronic pain. We're already struggling more than you know as it is.

That “oh” at the end is the funniest thing I have ever seen. There is no other diplomatic way to respond.

"DICK PALM! DICK PALM!"

"Sorry Legatus, it was too hard to hold something so turgid inside without letting out a little bit before making sure it all goes back in."

I wish they taught a class on what being a normal human is like

Like, the normal amount of pain is zero. The normal amount of wishing you weren't ever born is zero. Food isn't supposed to itch or hurt*. Going numb (any time outside sitting in one position too long) isn't normal. Passing out isn't normal. Normal people take like 10-20 minutes to fall asleep, and sleep like 6-9 hours. You're supposed to get one period a month, which is manageable with a few tampons or pads a day and lasts 3-6 days.

These are all things I had to find out later, like a moron.

(fibromyalgia, depression, allergies, cataplexy, narcolepsy, PCOS and endometriosis)

*spicy food is supposed to hurt?

Sneezing when you see bright light? Normal.

Sneezing hurting your ribs so bad it makes breathing hard? Not normal.

spoonie-isms

It's normal to hear a fluttering in your ears when you yawn. It's not normal for your ears to hurt so much your teeth hurt too.

It's normal to sleep badly and wake up sore every now and then. It's not normal to lay awake because pain is keeping you up.

It's normal to be nervous to see a doctor. It's not normal to put off care because of your anxitey

spoonie-isms

So many times I've realized something about my body is super messed up when I'm like "you know how when X, Y?" And all my friends are like...no. I don't experience X.

hot take but i think pain should be discrete and purposeful (‘stop touching a hot stove’ and ‘stop bumping into furniture’) and then it should stop when it is no longer communicating useful and actionable information. you may disagree but i think chronic pain is bad.

there’s a hypothesis that long-duration pain, the kind of pain that lasts after the abrupt piercing of flesh, is not universal to the animal kingdom. almost all animals need to be able to react to immediate negative stimuli, and do, and so they have the kind of pain receptors necessary to tell them if something is attacking them or hurting them to flee. but for animals which are not sociable, which do not care for one another, and which therefore must nurse their wounds alone, to continue to feel intense pain after the immediate threat has passed would only weaken and distract them. longer-duration pain, extended suffering, is a consequence of our ability to express pain to others, adaptive only for animals who have mothers or siblings or other conspecifics who will come to their aid when danger threatens.
