what a pain!

[01] How high is your tolerance for pain?

It depends on what kind of pain. If it's something I'm familiar with--mid-shoulder tension, for instance--I can take a lot. Stuff I can't name, not so much.

[02] What is the lengthiest period of time you will endure pain before taking medication?

Again, it depends on the pain. A bad tension headache I've learned to stop early or it becomes something unstoppable akin to a migraine (but not) that can't be tamed.

[03] What is the most physically painful experience you have endured?

Childbirth. Duh.

[04] What is your preferred pain reliever?

Ibuprofen.

[05] Have you ever tried non-medicinal methods for dealing with pain? (meditation, exercise, etc.)

Yes. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. One thing that almost always helps is sleep.
