imagine if you will,

a brain freeze lasting for hours

or a kidney stone in your head

that is what it's like

mine anyway (headaches)

and doctors, most, don't care and don't believe unless they get 'em themselves

Nurses are just as bad

especially the ones that say" oh, I get those, all you have to do is take an excedrin" I say " Horse Hockey"

4 advil
2 alleve
2 aspirin

Takes care of it for me if I get to it fast enough. Sometimes you don't know it's going to be that kind of headache until it's too late.

yeah I know, they come on really quick with me, hard to get a jump on them and getting rid of a full blown one is hard

Imitrex injection work okay for me but I get more than what you can take, two in 24 hours , sometimes mine last daily, once or twice for almost 8 weeks at a time

they suck

most of the oral meds don't have time to work before they come right back up

I usually have an hour or so between nausea and no return.

I feel for you, I have a fairly good tolerance for pain, except when it comes to those.
Hard to use the mind over matter techniques then

I call them InterCranial cluster frucks

When ye ol spine twisted like a candy cane and it took 12 hours on the table to fuse it back straight...the time on the table alone,left permanant damage in leg muscles. Hey ladies...Dont do boy work all your life...I learned the hard way.

I get optical and cervical migrains...try a micro tens machine on your shoulders and pac with ice...after many painful blind days...this works for me.

Been trying to get the VA to give me a Tens unit for years

I have nothing good to say about them at the moment so I will refrain from saying anything about them at this timelaugh

meaning the VA , not the TENS unit

Man, stop by my house when you get down here and remind me. I have a medical grade TENS unit that I'll give you. I only have it for fun anyway. (I'll keep my violet wand. lol)

I think pain can be subjective...I was diagnosed at age 14 with a degenerative joint & bone disease...some can handle more pain than others...I'd like to think I can handle a lot...:wink:


*sighs*

as i share this disorder, i'd have to agree with you. my pain tolerance is incredibly high. i even pulled one of my own molars with no anesthetic.

for me, state of mind is critical.

the worst pain i've ever been in was following the suicide of my fiance'. my mind was in a very dark place, and i couldn't shut out my body anymore...the worst year of my entire life.



Yes...I'm of the frame of mind to think that emotional pain can exascerbate physical pain...& sometimes chronic physical pain can bring on depression...just an endless cycle...until you pull yourself out of it...BTW...thanks again for the link to the Ehler's-Danlos site...it's nice to know someone else understands...flowerforyou

my last gall bladder attack i had before surgery was without a doubt the worst physical pain i ever had , thats even with 25 hours of labor only to have a c-section with my daughter , 2 c-sections one for both my sons, sliding across the school parking lot on my left arm and leg and losing about a one inch chunk out of my elbow , two tattoos being used as a jungle gym for kids ages 8-1

okay well either my gall bladder attack or having an abcessed tooth , they are pretty much tied

thats an easy one. i blew me knee out when i wrapped it around a goal post play'n hockey. i saw the blade of my skate, while i was inside the net. 4 surgery's to fix it. not only was it plainful, but i lost my chance to play hockey at a higher level. the topper to this is the guy who tripped me , is play'n in the NHL.
