About a 7 with nausea. Terrified it will get worse. Sleep is the only thing that really helps long term. In the meantime, stuffing my face is the only thing that provides any relief. I'm so screwed if I don't get proper sleep. My appetite goes totally out of control, to the point of having to eat constantly. I'm terrified I'm going to gain a bunch of weight.

Ears throbbing throat throbbing. Headache is in line with my heartbeat tonight. Definitely a 7 tonight. If it continues ill call the reg doc tomorrow.
3-4 which I'm pretty damn excited about. Pain has been bad all year. Started to get better after we started some treatment, but stopped because of circumstances. Started some new therapy at home and so far it is helping. I didn't want to say anything until I knew if it was going to help. Takes time and effort, but I'm good with that.
I've had this thing over a year now (pain in my side, still unexplained), most of the time I'm fine, or down at 2 or 3, but it seems to act up sometimes escalating to about a 5 for up to a week at a time, spiking to a 6 or 7 but on friday this week, I was certainly unable to move or speak for several hours, I'm just glad I managed to keep silent and blink back most of the tears. (I was pretty much curled up in a ball at my bosses house, I didn't want to worry his kids)
My point is, though, I stop being able to physically move before I stop being able to talk or think, when the pain started subsiding a bit I was able to respond to questions (with difficulty) from my bosses very overly curious kids long before I could physically move. I would put "Unable to move" as an 8 and bump the others up.
I remember the worst pain I ever felt (5 or 6 years ago, different issue) I threw up from the pain alone and the morphine they gave me was like a sorry joke, but I was just barely able to answer questions.

is it possibly a kidney stone? they can bring you down with a lot of pain. i hope you can find the problem and get better soon @Dante . morphine usually helps but not always. i remember my last kidney stone i turned grayish and was in a tremendous amount of pain. the ambulance people looked at my pain meds and said what we can give you won't do any good for you, you already take way more than we can give. that's when you know you're screwed lol..mike....
Excuse me for a moment,Nick’s about to whine. The number is it hurts and I can’t sleep! I don’t really know, i don’t deal with mouth pain well.
I’ve got the regular back, hip, neck, knee pain so eh. It’s been a real pain the ass all year. Then last week my filling fell out. I’ve got pain all along the gums, teeth, jaw, cheek and stabbing into my ear which makes my head hurt. Dentist says the nerve is exposed and it’s infected (cause Nick can’t go a whole damn month without some fucking infection). They need $1500.00 up front to fix it. Well fuck, let me go pick the money tree. Anyway I can’t live like this. So I’m going to call on Monday to make the appointment and we’ll just add it to the debt. In the meantime, I’ve barely slept since Monday.
