Mar
Admin’s Note: I was really irked that I didn’t get any notifications about the Worldwide Endometriosis March AGAIN this year until two days before the event. They appear to have a pattern of not effectively using social media to get the word out enough ahead of time. The first time I saw anything about it […]
0 - Pain Free
1 - Very minor annoyance -
occasional
minor twinges.
No medication needed.
2 - Minor Annoyance -
occasional
strong twinges.
No medication needed.
3 - Annoying enough to be distracting.
Mild painkillers take care of it.
(Aspirin, Ibuprofen.)
4 - Can be ignored if you are really
involved in your work, but still
distracting. Mild painkillers remove
pain for 3-4 hours.
5 - Can't be ignored for more than 30
minutes. Mild painkillers ameliorate
pain for 3-4 hours.
6 - Can't be ignored for any length of
time, but you can still go to work and
participate in social activities.
Stronger painkillers (Codeine,
narcotics) reduce pain for 3-4 hours.
7 - Makes it difficult to concentrate,
interferes with sleep. You can still
function with effort. Stronger
painkillers
are only partially effective.
8 - Physical activity severely limited.
You can read and converse with effort.
Nausea and dizziness set in as factors
of pain.
9 - Unable to speak. Crying out or
moaning
uncontrollably - near delirium.
10 - Unconscious. Pain makes you
pass out.
