42: Pain Scale from 1 to Fuchsia Neurotic Tornado

    • Society & Culture

I suffer from chronic migraines. Every week I have to work through the ups and downs of how I feel. In this episode, my wife and I talk about how we manage our lives alongside my chronic pain. For some context, here are two YouTube videos I made about chronic pain:


The Pain in My Head: the story of my chronic headaches
Writing Through Pain: how I remain a chronic creator even with chronic pain

Also, in the episode we reference the Spoon Theory (coined by writer Christine Miserandino). To learn more about this helpful metaphor, check out her original blog post (from 2003!).
