Title: Evolution
Post by LTBullitt on Sep 20^th, 2002, 4:40am

Some form of evolution anyways.
The heightened sense of perception
to be able to smell a faint scent that would be impossible any other time
a girls hairspray down one floor while you are behind a closed door with A/C on
the hearing, sight, all the senses so elevated like that

even childbirth brings great pain to bring one child
we know a flower screams as it blossoms even though we cannot hear it
the butterflys agony
extreme pain would have to come with any kind of becoming
i don't think I'm just looking for justifications or reasoning at this moment
nor does it have to be evolution of great intellegence
it could be only physical in its' inception

quite the charge to fight something so grand
without the pain there cannot be the beauty

Is Charlie your real name or a chat handle?

I love that name. Everytime I see it I think of The Little Tramp in City Lights, Modern Times.....
spend the rest of my life watching him if I didn't have to stop to bang my head of the floors at regular periods

That's my real name. I can't say I'm in love with the thing.

I am in love with Mr. Chaplin....How come AMC and TCM run really boring silents but rarely his.... ???

I never banged my head though. I sat and screamed, ran round, and cursed whatever underachieving deity was responsible for them.

Take care.

Hello people. I can honestly say my tolerance for pain has evolved since I started my trips to the butcher shop. Things like a cut on the finger or a burn at work seem like childs play. I broke my pinky finger very badly and remember thinking, " this doesn't hurt at all ". There is no pain (so far) that can even compare with my attacks.
I like to thrash my arms around like Lt. Dan in Forest Gump when he is in the middle of that storm, " IS THIS ALL YOU GOT!!!!!!, COME ON! IT'S JUST ME AND YOU! A SHOWDOWN! YOU WILL NEVER SINK THIS BOAT!!!"
Sometimes I think pain makes me feel more alive. It also reminds me that things could be much, much worse.

Pain tolerance is such a hard thing to define. How does anyone quantify pain and how they handle it in comparison to others? I personally think I have a high pain tolerance-I delivered 3 11 lb. babies naturally without too much problem...I find cluster pain to be in a league of it's own. But I have to tell you-I have never had a cluster more than about 30 minutes. When I read some of these posts and the duration and inyensity, I have to wonder what my reaction would be. I think I have only once hit what could be classified as a Kip 10- based on others stories, I probably fall into a 6-7 category at worst. Many do not exceed 4-5. If I have to be cursed with this- I am thankful for my experiences.

I agree wholeheartedly with you there Jabeen! I feel the same way.

I like the idea of this being an evolutionary process. Some new ability or something. Too bad we are the inbetweeners.

LT, You verbalized my thoughts! Well done!!!

I truly believe that the few of us suffering from this in the universe (as we are only a handfull, compared to the rest of the population) are on a quest and evolving into a new breed.

Nothing new can come about without pain, and this pain is not killing us except if we make that choice.

You and everyone out there with Ch knows that this pain is worse that any other physical pain. If we can handle this without giving up, we must survive as the stronger genepool.

I can verify that this is not like any other pain. I had 3 children, many ops and cancer and nothing compares.

My senses are hightened through an episode, colours seem diffirent, my hearing is sharper and my creativity is at its best. We must be evolving because we are not dying!

I certainly like that theory. Of course having been told repeatedly that I'm an 'interesting' patient (and right after that being told it's never good when a Dr says you're interesting) and a medical anomaly all around, I'd like to think it's because I'm part of a group of people that are the survivors of the fittest :)
