There's bone, hurting, and... juice?

Wake you up bean juice.

You have two states in the timelines of your life.

You are either suffering and it will pass, one way or another.

Or you're not suffering and at some point in the future when you're suffering again, you will look back at the moments you weren't suffering as "the good old days."

If you're not currently in extreme mental or physical anguish, you are living in your future's good memories, no matter how bleak it seems. If you are in extreme mental or physical anguish... this too shall pass.

Being disabled in Amerikkka is basically this. I mean lots of people could feel less pain but government and corporations don't want that sooooo yeah..

You only feel less pain through addictive drugs! No corrective surgery, or therapy, for you!

Yup, had perfect health until 10 years ago then I got bad discs, arthritis and neuropathy. Now I cannot walk more than a metre or 2 before major ouchies. Enjoy it while you have it.

If you've ever listened to Welcome to Nightvale this was one of the first weather reports. Was driving to work one day when it came on and just had to pull over and stare off into the distance for a few minutes.

Great song, I listened to it too much. Still have to revisit it.

Do whatever the doctor prescribed and the pain will go away.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

Truly spoken like someone so privileged with good health they don't even know what a chronic disability is.

Imagine being this ignorant about chronic pain that you think it's a product of moral failure. Imagine thinking that doctors treat chronic pain sufferers like anything but drug seekers. Imagine picking up a prescription is so easy you never had to see your pharmacist give you a dirty look or even deny you medications because they think you don't 'look like you're in pain'.

Nothing makes us want to kill ourselves more than hearing the 'just diet and exercise duh' people pretend to know what a fraction of being in pain every living second is like.

If it was this easy we wouldn't have so many problems. Or, you know, discussions about assisted suicide in cases of untreatable and unavoidable suffering in order to respect human dignity.

Sometimes the pain is here to stay. We all get old, health is a precious privilege and the power doctor's are wielding is unfortunately limited.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 1 day ago

If only it were so easy. Certain prescriptions from certain doctors definitely helped, but nothing makes the pain go away.

Can I self medicate with alcohol and weed instead?

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Devinetively possible, but I would advise to only go for weed, since its much "healthier" (compared to alcohol)

Also not really a ling term solution.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 22 hours ago

Is it though?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 22 hours ago

Healthier than alcohol or a long term solution ?

Weed is less harmful than alcohol, with almost absolute certainty, which is not to say it is good for your health ("Healthier" does not equate "Healthy"), because it isn't good for your health. There are many many studies backing this claim. Also, it is still debatable whether it is good for the mind of an adult. Some people seem to believe so. It is proven to be bad for your mental health before the brain is fully developped (~25 years old).

Long term solution for pain: I guess if nothing else works, it could be.. Everyone deals with pain the way they can with what they can access/afford.

[-] [email protected] -3 points 1 day ago

Yes, of course, but that would be ineffective and you will die in pain eventually.
