My question arises from the observation that many CH-ers seem to have, or report to have, a high tolerance for pain.

What is happens to a person's systems when they have a high-pain threshold? Does this induce more endorphins? Is it a purely mental thing? Is there a correlation between high-pain tolerance and dimished effect to pain killers and similar medications?
