Jimbo ,
Maybe "faking" it was the wrong choice of words .
But more like amplify, viualize, etc ??
I know none of us think this pain is a joke , but what I have realised that when in an attack , the pain is so intense , that we don't know what really hit us . We have so many things going thru our minds ( besides the pain ) that we can't think straight .
We're more like stupified by the pain , and cannot react properly . Thus we sit in one corner clutching our eye , face , banging ..etc you know the drill ..
We keep the pain to ourselves, and when in a work environment try to act " normal " because we know that whenever we tell anyone of our condition we're going get the dumb stare . Which of course aggravates any situation .
So, next time this happens and I'm around strangers and want some attention , I'm not sitting in a corner toughing it out . I'll do what I have to do to get my relief .
Hmmm...did this sound like a venting or more like a message ??
Wish your pains are leave you soon .
