    “The normal amount is zero”

    “…since when?”

      Every single person I’ve even spoken to makes me think that’s a lie.

      I don’t know anyone who isn’t in some form of constant pain.

        Physically I’m doing pretty good. I have a thing where my hip tightens up sometimes but that’s not constant. It’s the mental health that is a concern.

        I’m not. Closest is my IBS and a constant fear of being away from a toilet for long enough that it becomes an issue. Had the entire city mapped out for toilets when I had an on-site job. Then one fateful day, they closed a street, the tram had to go around and added 30 mins to the travel time. I saw it turn right instead od going forward and I have never felt such fear in my life since

      I told a doctor once that I got a “normal amount of headaches”. He asked me how many that was and I told him 1 or 2 a week, to which he responded “the normal amount is 0”.

      I was in to see him about migraines.

        Consider the fact that for many in chronic pain they do not realize that many people have none. For example I have two or three headaches a year and it is almost always related to caffeine intake or lack of it.

          Man. I wake up with a headache nearly every morning. Almost everyone in my family does (mom’s side, don’t know dad’s side) so I haven’t thought about it.

          After about 20 minutes it goes away.

          Now that I think about it, it’s probably sinus issues. That’s something else common in my family.

          Maybe because we all had coal stoves growing up. Who knows? A doctor maybes :p

        I’ve been in the same boat, except that it was after a few months of being on migraine medication. Told my doc I was down to normal amounts of headaches and he said “are you sure? How many?” And then we had the exact same interaction lol
