I think we have all probably read the "complicated child birth" and "accidental amputation" pain comparison quotes.....my question is, is there any widely (and profesionaly) recognized pain scale that even mentions CH (aside from our own widely venerated Kip)? I understand many hospitals have pain scales based on the relative pain tolerance of the patient, however there must be some kind of general pain thresh hold for human beings, right? Also, I notice that my thresh hold for pain definately goes up during my cluster....sometimes dangerously (ie I hurt my self and don't realize it) does anyone else have this problem, and what do you do about it?
