There are so many people who suffer with chronic pain.
I never thought I would understand old people, but as we get well into our 50s, I understand them all the more.
However a lot of what they do, is based on chronic pain. For example, I went to the nearby state park with the other day. As a younger person, I fearlessly climbed the ladder plus jumped in from the platform. Nowadays, though, I can’t do that because I can’t climb anymore, and there are millions of such examples. There is also a side effect of chronic pain that I didn’t think existed; that is being overheated a lot of the time . If I have to complete physical activity, the arthritis pain makes myself long for air conditioner air. If I don’t have the air conditioner blasting, I get hot plus sweaty just doing the most minimal things. However, when I don’t have the air conditioner thermostat set lower than most other people, I begin to get wet plus sweaty hair, which makes myself feel gross. I don’t even love to cook anymore because between the heat of the stove, mixed with the pain response, means the air conditioner is not even nice enough to keep myself very comfortable. If you have someone in your family who is dealing with chronic pain, you should help him or her by ensuring that the air conditioner is constantly in nice working order. If our air conditioner ever goes out, I will be spending the rest of my life at the hotel where the air conditioner is actually working plus free.
