    Or being able to breathe normally when you don’t have a cold.

    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

  • 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

    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 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.

    About a year ago I had some trouble with a wisdom tooth - and it started friday evening just as my dentist closed shop for the day. It wasn’t bad enough for me to go to ER, but I was quite miserable during the weekend. I remember at one point deciding to play some Skyrim VR, thinking maybe pretending like I’m a dragon-killing hero would take my mind off the pain. That’s when I learnt that being a Dragonborn with a toothache sucks.

    Anyway, since then I’ve made it a point to think back occasionally and remind myself how great it is when my teeth don’t hurt, and I like to extend it to other people too, telling them to realise and cherish their lack of toothache. It’s your turn now. Be glad. Unless your teeth happen to hurt atm, in which case sucks to be you. Hope it does away soon.

      Toothaches are awful. I basically had ruins in my mouth for years and I always had one wound or another in it.

      Somehow I didn’t really notice any pain, until it got really worse and I finally overcame my fear of dentists. When I finally got to the doc and all of these problems were treated my whole body just felt so…silent.

      The pain must’ve always been there, I just endured it and subconsciously blended it out.

      I have a nasty tootache right now, so… seeing this thread and your post feels like some ironic joke that the universe arranged for me :D

      (Thankfully paracetamol is helping, but most likely they will have to pull it out.)

    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.

    I currently have a CSF headache from a spinal tap and my definition of headache has completely changed. I wish I never experienced anything like this

  • I get headaches because of neck pain. It’s not uncommon at all to have a bad headache, then I crack my neck and the headache vanishes almost instantly. Beautiful feeling. I hate cracking my neck though. It’s more of a compulsion if my head is hurting.

    This is the case with anything to do with health. And often the best feelings are when some form of unpleasantness dissipates.
