My pain threshold was breached briefly with my gallstone attack, but as I reminisce about my daily pain over the last say 35 years, I have definitely grown a tolerance. Although, I tend to let out unconscious moans now that I used to be able to control. My inner censor, that kept me silent before must be affected by, gee, let's see, maybe the MS. lol Hope your seemingly "new" pain does not increase and they fix that gonad problem soon.

When I finally raised the white flag with endometriosis (didn't know that was the problem yet), after telling my sister about my pain and her telling me it was NOT normal to feel that way, I went to the doctor and by then my left ovary was twice it's normal size and had failed. My right ovary was so diseased and the endometriosis had spread all over my poor guts, that there were really no options for me but a hysterectomy. They did not think I could produce any healthy eggs and I did not think I wanted to have kids anyway, so it was an easy decision to go under the knife. Now THAT was painful! It has now been over 7 period-free years so it was worth it.Blindbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13653985941985467240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38895750.post-50812140433031426002009-04-04T16:23:00.000-07:002009-04-04T16:23:00.000-07:00"Pain of epic proportions"...

They were pretty permissive but did not, would not, could not tolerate lying or whining.<BR/><BR/>It is near impossible for me to answer the question, "How are you?," with, "Fine thanks," when my feet are on fire and I can't make my legs move right. It's a LIE, but it feels better than burdening some random well-wisher with the truth. I am also paralyzed with fear at the prospect of being labeled a whiner. Especially at work! I would rather suffer in silence than feel like my coworkers are "picking up my slack." <BR/><BR/>The self-inflicted stress from these gifts of character I received from my folks is sometimes a bit overwhelming. Do you have this problem too? At what point do you feel it's ok to say, "Alright, my shit hurts really bad, and I want drugs and then I want everyone to feck off and leave me alone."?@whiskey.xray.yoga.zulu https://www.blogger.com/profile/13486715100955603014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38895750.post-85998748220466726162009-04-03T19:56:00.000-07:002009-04-03T19:56:00.000-07:00See, this post is yet another example why I read y...See, this post is yet another example why I read your blog -- I seem to go through the same thought patterns as you.<BR/><BR/>I will tell you that according to the surgon at the time ignoring, and then delaying gall bladder surgery for six weeks because I needed (wanted) to meet a work deadline) almost cost me my life. After, the doctor wouldn't release me a few days because of bleeding. Of course, looking back...at that time I was worth so many more $$ I wish I HAD died.
