Winter gives me the most terrible flares. Didn't get much done. @inkblotfeathers inspired me to make a pain scale and keep track of my pain levels. Hope tomorrow is a more productive day.

Seeing Red: How Colors Affect Pain — Pain News Network

By Dr. Lynn Webster, PNN Columnist It is a myth that the matador’s red cape -- the muleta -- incites rage in the bull and causes him to c

It is a myth that the matador’s red cape -- the muleta -- incites rage in the bull and causes him to charge. The truth is, all cattle are colorblind. The bull does not charge because of the color, but because of the movements of the matador and his cape.

It is not a myth, however, that color can affect the moods of humans. Researchers have studied how colors affect psychological states, such as anxiety, in people.

We now know that color also affects how people perceive pain. In this month’s issue of Pain Medicine, authors Karolina Wiercioch-Kuzianik and Przemyslaw Babel present “Color Hurts: The Effect of Color on Pain Perception,” exploring how color can affect the perception of pain.

A 2007 study reported more intense pain when a painful stimulation was preceded by a red color than a blue one. The new study builds on that work through two experiments.

In the first, participants were shown six colors, one at a time, followed by mild electric shocks to their forearms – seven shocks with each color. The participants, all of whom volunteered and knew in advance what the research would involve, reported their pain on a scale of 0 to 10 following each stimulation.

A black image was the control to which all the colors were compared. Black was chosen as the control because it is regarded as the absence of color.

The investigators found that the color red produced the most intense pain, followed by green and blue. Other colors were associated with less pain. (Read more at link)

Interesting. I guess red curtains and a red comforter is a bad idea, but I’m not changing them anytime soon. It’s my favorite color. But I can see how red is culturally associated with pain, I mean just look at my icon.

At what point, what pain level, do you say “hey, this pain isn’t normal or right or usual..maybe it’s not fibro?”  Today it’s still a pain level 4 for my whole body, but my wrists (from heel of palm to 1/4 up the forearm) are still maybe a pain level 6-7. Fuck they hurt.  I haven’t “done” anything to them, so intellectually I know it’s the fibro..but...ow.

I wonder if I’d work on personal projects better/more consistently if I had friends near-by and we had dedicated “work on stuff” days in my sewing room. Like a stich-n-bitch but at my house. I need geographically and emotionally closer friends
