Chronic pain documentation
Most days, it's manageable. Sometimes, though, my joints feel like each is encased in its own personal bubble of ache. Any one, by itself, would be ignorable. For that matter, any ten of them would be. The hands and feet have roughly 30 joints apiece, and my available medications don't dampen the sensation enough for me to have attention left for other things.
Rather than be awake and in pain, I'm going to see if I can fall asleep and be unconscious for some of it.
Chronic pain, gripe
The worst part of having pain soak up so much of my attention isn't the sensation. It's that I don't have enough brainpower left over to distract myself with something interesting.

@Verdigris Ach fuck. In one of those places today. Not chronic, just kinda overworked myself yesterday.
Like just being plugged into the body is too much sensation to deal with.

@Motodrachen That's a good way to sum it up, yeah.
