For years my scale I used to rate pain(same as kip scale)has been the same. Last month a new 10 for me started. Something that moved my old 10 down the scale a few notches. My old 10 was what I thought was the brink of death in pain. I don't understand how it can get worst. I know this is negative thinking, but it scares me shitless that maybe my new 10 could get even worst. I don't know how to handle the one I'm at, and I'm back with my 5 (God I hope it's going to be 5 this month) days of 10's that come 5-6 times in 24 hours, each lasting an average of 3 hours.
Positive thinking, visual imagery, everything I know to do to help gets thrown out the window. My 02 is diminishing fast.
Ok I'm done, No need to respond. Just needed to vent.
