My neurologist said something that rang true to me, I just wonder how the rest of you will feel about it. He said that victims of child abuse were more sensitive to pain.

I really thought I was sensitive to pain, but I wasn't a victim of child abuse, so my sensitivity to pain must be alot lower than I thought. It is something to think about isn't it? Lori

Food for thought. Mine was verbal abuse. But I think I was already more sensitive than my sibs.

i suffered a lot of abuse as a kid, and i know i have a lower threshold for handling pain than most people. i can push myself to do far less than my coworkers when it comes to working under pain. i think of it as a hypersensitivity to pain and my nerves are already primed to be outraged so when something little happens it feels incredibly painful. and the pain lasts. and lasts. strange because my grandmother was abused as a kid and she had a high tolerance for pain -- in the hospital she had a self-medicating morphine drip and the nurse kept coming to check on her because she wasn't using it!
