      Oh on a real pain scale it’s usually 2-3 these days thanks to medication. I was just going by O’Brien faces. Sorry yours is worse, I hope you find solutions. I’ve been to 10 enough times myself. Thankfully not in many years.

          Not better yet, but we’re working on it. That actually isn’t a pain issue. I have two wonderful illnesses. The pain thing is a nerve disorder called atypical trigeminal neuralgia.

          I won the genetic lottery for sure.

            You and me both, brother. My doctors have conferences about me because I’ve got some rare conditions that make me an interesting case.

            Do you think we can speak with someone in charge of this whole existence thing? We didn’t even buy any genetic lotto tickets! How did we win so much?
