The fact that physical therapy is not a frontline treatment for chronic pain is a searing indictment of the global medical profession.

Having fluctuating symptoms is valid

Not understanding your symptoms is valid

Feeling like your symptoms have gotten worse is valid

Having your symptoms get worse is valid

Feeling like your faking your symptoms is valid and happens to so many people all the time

Symptoms are not a fixed feeling. They can get worse and they can get better both experiences are valid.

It’s been said and told enough to be meme-ified, that “the normal amount of pain to be in is none” and that “the average person’s baseline is zero pain”. And I know this, and have tried to internalize it. But there’s still some part of me that, when I see or hear that take, goes “that can’t be right. NO pain? Not even a tiny bit?” Because I have a hard time believing people just go around perfectly comfortable and physically content most of the time. That just sounds fake to me.

But then I realized, just now, that not being in pain isn’t the same thing as being perfectly comfortable. Like, there exists this whole spectrum of discomforts that a person can experience that don’t overlap with pain. (I, historically, have trouble differentiating the two, because I live primarily in the places where pain and discomfort do overlap.)

So like….I think the average person wakes up and goes about their day where the most immediate physical concern for them is some kind of minor discomfort. They’re a little hungry, or their chair isn’t very comfortable, or the room is a little colder than they would like. (Though those discomforts, which I also experience, don’t come with the bevy of other sensations and symptoms that tip over from “mild discomfort” into “moderate to severe discomfort” and also cause pain.)

But anyway, that’s a lot more understandable to me. That sounds more right, in a way that “no pain” didn’t. To remind myself that yes, they are experiencing occasional discomfort, it’s just that their discomfort doesn’t tend to blur the line between discomfort and pain the way mine does.

Shout out to @thebibliosphere for existing, and for being open and honest about health stuff in addition to writing some amazing sexy vampires, all while suffering some of the most terrible health stuff. I know I’m not the first or the last person to say this but: uuuh you’re literally the only reason I was able to get an MCAS diagnosis after having this *mystery illness* for my entire life and the past few years having it kick up to 11 and almost dying so many times now all while forgetting how to feel like a person so much that my second dose of cromolyn felt like I woke up from the Long Sleep.

So, yeah. Thank you.
