<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://ioc.exchange/@azonenberg" class="u-url mention">@<span>azonenberg</span></a></span> opioids help a lot; there&#39;s one experimental option that might or might not be better that i haven&#39;t yet had the support to properly test</p><p>i mostly just cope</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> Ouch. Best of luck and hopefully you eventually can find some kind of treatment that helps with it.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://ioc.exchange/@azonenberg" class="u-url mention">@<span>azonenberg</span></a></span> yep, there is similarity</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> it felt like a polarity-inverted and accelerated time scale version of the phenomenon that gets people hooked on oxycontin (12 hour dosing interval that only provide 6-8 hours of relief, so you&#39;re constantly anticipating your next hit).</p><p>Except instead of relief every 12 hours it was pain every few minutes.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://ioc.exchange/@azonenberg" class="u-url mention">@<span>azonenberg</span></a></span> yeah my life is basically like that on a daily basis, although less acute and more chronic</p><p>my condolences. you get used to it but only somewhat</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://ioc.exchange/@azonenberg" class="u-url mention">@<span>azonenberg</span></a></span> to be honest this feels quite reasonable for me, especially since you already have the resources</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> Every time I started to drift off to sleep I&#39;d swallow some spit and jerk awake from the pain, until I was exhausted enough that I&#39;d fall asleep anyway</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> now imagine this happening every few minutes, over and over, for probably two or three days (I&#39;m not even sure how long it was with the time zone changes etc) between the symptoms hitting their peak and the antibiotic starting to have a significant impact.</p>
