It's funny until you realize your daily 5 is someone else's 10, and you'r just can't register pain like a normal person anymore...then it's just kinda depressing.

I went through a lumbar stick and didn't flinch last year because "meh". Few months ago my idiot dentist realized he only gave me a half dose of Novocaine to drill, and it just didn't feel like much to me.
