No Spoons. Only Knives.

One of the sort of nifty, for lack of a better word, things about experiencing a lot of pain is that I find myself figuring out new ways to describe it to people so it’s not just “Ow, it hurts.”

Sometimes it’s high-pitched. Sometimes it’s scratchy. Sometimes it’s like being in the middle of a 10,000 person mosh pit.

Today, today my pain was like the chocolate sauce you pour on ice cream that forms a shell. That shell, all over my body, with an extra layer of it on my head.

Knowing what the pain *looks* like, helps me know how to manage it, and gives me a frame of reference for explaining it to others.

Do you have any funny ways to describe your body’s pain sensations?

Would you like to be a podcast guest on my soon-to-exist podcast No Spoons. Only Knives.? It's a show all about wellness without the woo-woo. I will be interviewing guests to talk about their own personal and/or professional experiences with things like chronic illness, mental health, pain, s*x, energy, health, any and all of the above.
