You know the standard question: “rate your pain on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the worst pain imaginable”?

Well, this is a little pic that more accurately describes our level of pain on a daily basis. (Pic not mine, “our” being chronic pain/chronic illness sufferers.)

I love this! My current = 7.

I’m currently at an 8 on this scale. it’s gettin’ up there.

My chest… keeps going between a 2 and a 10. :( Stupid costochondritis! :(
