Pain Threshold.

[MissMacD]

In my more current dissociation to find out where I am hurting I noticed that I have an unusually high threshold for physical pain. When I was a kid, if I was sick or injured my ailments were neglected until they healed. This included a sprained and possibly fractured ankle, poison ivy, infected splinters in my foot, and many other things. I got my wisdom teeth surgically removed and never took pain killers. This sickens me.

When I get a rash, or like now an ingrown toenail I usually leave it and let the problem fester until it gets so bad that I reach my breaking point and take care of it. The toenail thing has been going on for about 4 months now and I am realizing that I need to see a doctor about it.

When I was 14 I had severe pnemonia and lost 30 pounds in 3 weeks, went from 140 to 108. I had to threaten my caregiver to take me to the hospital after my fever registered at 106.5 F and I started to halluncinate. I was within a day or two of my own death because I was so dehydrated. Since then I get sick really easily. Really prone to sinus infections, yeast infections and uninary tract infections. In the past few years I've also had a hard time with my bladder. I have to pee a lot out of nervousness, not out of the need to pee. If I get really nervous I need to find a washroom fast because sometimes I barely make it.

I am so noise sensitive right now. Just got a new roommate who is playing rap music and I am cringing.

To fix the toenail, use a fingernail file and sand the top arch of the nail until you feel a flat surface across the full top from cortical to nail end. This will make the nail grow up instead of to the sides. As to pain threshold have had all my fingers broke at the same time, countless burns from cooking pots, cigarettes, cigars, and wooden sticks. Feel pain just long enough to raise the hairs on the back of my neck then it’s gone.
