Physical pain severity scale

[Lady Wolfshead]

I am a 4-5 in the mornings without enteric-coated peppermint oil that I rely on to control bowel cramps. I'm very lucky that this solution (which I was informed of by a certified naturopath or ND) works for me. Even my doctor said she often suggests that to people with IBS and colitis now. I just wish my psych meds could be replaced by something more natural, but I've tried everything from St. John's Wort to fish oil with no improvement.

My heart goes out to anyone living with both physical pain and mental illness. It's a devastating combination.

Thank you @GFS @1964dodge and @SillyOldBear *grouphug your kind words mean a lot.

I'm sitting on a 7.5 atm (12:40pm) I've had to do some heavy lifting which I couldn't avoid. (Too difficult to explain) The doctors keep telling me, no lifting, no bending down etc. but it's just not realistic. Some things are unavoidable which pisses me off. Sorry, just ranting but the pain brings out the worst in me unfortunately.

Doctors sometimes don't understand that not everyone can pay people to do all their tasks.

@1964dodge Glad you are resuming the fight Mike. Hope you never feel like you have to 'ctb'

thank you. I am still having pretty bad thoughts about ctb but it's not as bad because i'm fighting it again. i'm weak sometimes and all the pain and illness overwhelms me. luckily so far I come out fighting every time, at least until the next time lol. mike

2.5 damn toothache.

Feel you there... Though mine is much better now that I've been taking painkillers for three days, I stopped today.
Hope it passes for you soon.

My level today is a 2.5 as well for the same tooth. (without painkillers)

I got the tooth pulled out yesterday, so glad it is gone it was driving me crazy.

Do you have any appointment with the dentist soon?

Oh okay, so it was not treatable anymore I guess? Will you get anything to replace it?

I went to the dentist on Wednesday. He made a radio, gave me all I needed and told me I had to remove all four of them soon, probably the beginning of August.

No, was not treatable, it actually came out while i was brushing my teeth last week and there were only bits left, very painful bits at that but it was a back tooth so no nothing to replace it.

I hope your appt in August goes well, good luck and i hope the pain eases off soon

Oooh, that's horrible I'm glad you're relieved then. Won't you go to the dentist to see if everything's ok ?

Thank you

I think you misunderstood (i think?), there were bits left after most of the tooth came out on its own when brushing last week and the dentist took those out yesterday so the tooth is completely gone now and all is good
