That’s the human condition. All suffering and joy is relative to our baseline, and that baseline changes very quickly.
I love how you phrased this. It’s too true
Reminds me of how its put in the book “Subtle art of not giving a fuck”
Or being able to breathe normally when you don’t have a cold.
Or being able to poop normally when you didn’t just eat Taco Bell.
This does not apply to me, as a constant allergy dude.
I’ve heard Mars and the Moon have no spores.
Or not causing a car accident when you were close to causing one.
Oh my version of this is the stuffy nose. It’s the worst trying to sleep when both nostrils are clogged. I’m going to take a moment to appreciate my clear nostrils rn
Nah trying to eat with both clogged is the worst.

I’m on the third day of a soul crushing migraine. I don’t even care about feeling normal anymore. Just getting to “Shitty” would be a huge improvement
I feel you pain so much. I hope it subside soon and the postdome isn’t too bad.
I hope you get better soon!
Do painkillers not work for you?
Not OP but Not all painkillers work against migraines and something that works for one person might make it worse in another.
It’s a balancing act of trying to find out what will help and not make it worse that it already is.
Will coffee help? Maybe or it’ll make it worse Will pot help? Maybe or it’ll make it worse Etc.
I remember I got a migraine once and started masturbating and it actually made it feel much better
Yet for others it can make it way worse: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_headache
If I had that you could call it chronic pain
I truly feel for you. I’ll wish for a quick relief
^^ you’re going to get through this!
my heart goes out to everybody on this thread who has chronic pain or any such other conditions that prevent them from being in a state of complete painlessness. let’s nevertheless take this moment to be grateful to our body for everything it does for us. i hope you all feel better, in some way or the other.
I have fibromyalgia and chronic headaches. I totally wish I could know what it’s like to not be in pain.
I’m going to take this moment to intentionally appreciate not having a headache. Thanks.
I have atypical trigeminal neuralgia. My head and face are always aching. It would be nice to know what it would be nice not to have that. Or at least remember.
Yikes I hope you can find some relief soon. Medicine is advancing every day and hopefully a cure is just around the corner
I’m definitely doing better on my current regimen than I have been in the past. Thanks.
On the flip side, when a particularly stubborn one finally goes away, it’s such a huge relief. It’s pure joy to just not be in pain.
Ive suffered from migraines starting around middle school till now. I started getting Botox treatment for migraines along with taking an emgality shot that I administer myself monthly and my migraines that would end me up in the hospital almost multiple times a month started to slowly become a distant thing. Now maybe twice a year I’ll end up in the hospital. I use relpax if I feel one starting to come on and that also works well to stop it.
There’s hope and help out there but it’s a pain in the ass road. The Botox injections hurt like a bitch but it’s only every 3 months. I get through it by squeezing my hands together while my butcher…I mean… neurologist administers the shots. It’s a lot of shots in a short amount of time.
Had to read the first sentence a few times to make sure you weren’t suffering from the disease “middle school”
Ah yes I made a mistake haha 😂
A bad headache really is among the worst things one can experience. I luckily almost never do. It’s the only thing I’ve ever experienced that I could imagine leading to suicide were it to be chronical with no cure. Not even a bad depression has made me imagine that.
I’m that person with chronical headaches/migraines
It sucks but unfortunately after a while you just kinda get used to it.
I do what I can to minimize the amount of time I’m out of commission.
Shit sucks…but I’m still here
Dang, I’m in the same boat. Botox injections have started helping, but there’s usually several weeks at a time where every day I have migraines. If I didn’t have to help with kids and family, I’d probably just be in bed half the day. But, as you said, you just get used to it.
Wishing you relief, internet friend!
Same to you
it’s such a stupid pain too, like how exactly should i stop using my head muscles. dipshit brain
Same goes for healthy stomach. Currently going through a rough stomach bug. Really missing the time when my stomach was fine.

I’ve had recurring migraines since my teens along with a constant “background” headache that literally never goes away. I’m in my early 40’s now & I don’t remember what its like to not have a headache.
