all over my body, broken bones sticking through my fresh being at a pain scale of ten, where is my pain scale at? They never mentioned a CH on top of that, not being in the mood for pain scales, I responded by why don't you hang me by my hands tied behind my back, crucify me, and shove wooden spikes under my finger and toe nails, there is just no end to the nasty things that can be done. And when does the body go into shock as natures way of reliefing the pain. I hate pain scales, the fact is that sufficient pain prevents a person from doing anything and every second seems to be an eternity. CH's are living because it'syet another pain, if you spilled boiling water on your lap, that's a hell of a pain that is topped if you get a CH on top of that, or pulling a back muscle, or even stubbing your toe while trying to walk a CH off. CH's are dirty, think we all had some so bad that why didn't we go into shock or pass out. The only consolation is that with a CH as opposed to 90% body burns, they can leave just as fast as they come, and outside of being exhausted, you are pretty much near normal afterwards and can do things. A major challenge is overcoming the fear of getting a CH, especially during a bad cycle, if asked to go out and have some fun or do something, the answer is usally no, go ahead without me, in the respect, CH sufferers lead a loney life.
