Mike, if your purpose is to dazzle you've succeeded.
I'm still in the semi-dark about pain (and happen to have a need to know).

Cant remember what it was called but I do remember thinking it was the stuff Michael Jackson ODed on. Anyway I felt nothing during the time I was out. When I came around I wasnt groggy and didn't feel sick. It was an interesting experience. So it seems the concious brain plays a part in pain perception. I am also glad they didn't have to clobber me over the head to achieve the obtunded state.
Yes. This dark and unwholesome onomatopoetic word dates back to the 15th Century, I believe, and embraces the concept of being forcefully struck on the head with a blunt instrument. THUD... THUD! Her Pancreatic Cancer Condition was such that even the Heaviest Dosages of Morphine were to no avail. Final Medications which produced the Obtunded State were Dilaudid with an Ativan Booster (sp).

The considerable scope and depth of the study in the following link strains my imagination.
Does anyone have the requisite frame of reference and time to distill it to layman terms?

-well, when you are made to bend over and you are spanked, it hurts.
Hope that helps 😉
And what of the kinky sorts who enjoy being spanked?
Can science explain nurse costumes in porn shops?

I supposed they would have removed the "polish your pickle for a nickel" sign from around your neck before you came to.

Originally posted by SoothfastThey probably just charged for an extra bandage or two. My only problem is that I would have prefered not to have had the anethesia before that portion of the procedure.
So this was an in-out-in-out patient procedure. I wonder how the HMO bean counters juggle that one.

"So it seems the concious brain plays a part in pain perception."
Still unclear as to the role science plays. Inclined to think human pain's corporeal.

Originally posted by Grampy BobbySimplest explanation is pain being a defense mechanism to protect further damage after injury and injury avoidance to begin with such as quickly retreating hand from heat upon contact. In effect, leprosy renders sensory perceptions useless for tactile/pain reception and such people frequently end up suffering severe burns as a result of failure to perceive pain.

Originally posted by sonhouseSorry to hear this. My gal has a similar situation. I bought her a gallon of lubricyn which is a haluronic acid suppliment for livestock. After just a few days she noticed a difference and after a couple of weeks a big difference. She had problems sleeping as well and can now sleep all night. She has recently purchased and is on the second gallon. I used it and I felt a bit better but I don't have the aches and pains she does. I have noticed a change in her skin as well. She takes sleeping medication and trying to convince her to ween off of thet. Instead of script pain pills she now takes advil and tylenol alternately and having good results when she needs them. If you google DEAD DOCTORS DON'T LIE you can find supplimental nutrients that I think we are going to give a try. I dont think is is snake oil. Nutrition is key for a lot of what is wrong with our health.
