Judging Pain

On Managing Pain by Tim Carmody (kottke.org)

We’ve got to get over our weird Puritanical crap about pain and pain medication and accept the fact that in certain contexts, we need the drugs. And by “we,” I mean myself, the medical system; everybody. We can’t be responsible for the entire opioid epidemic every second of every day. Sometimes we just need to be able to go to sleep.

My wife is on pain medication and acupuncture for her fibromyalgia pain. She's managed her health condition for about ten years, with varying degrees of success. I'm sure I know what I would do if someone judged her medical choices without understanding her situation.

I'm just a human being who wears many hats. As an avid amateur photographer, I enjoy exploring the art and science of capturing beautiful moments through my lens. When I'm not behind the camera, I'm working as an information security professional, utilizing my expertise to keep data safe and secure. Beyond that, I'm a nemophile who finds peace and serenity in the great outdoors, and a philomath who loves to learn and expand my knowledge. I reside in Montgomery Township and am always seeking new adventures to capture and share.
