The reality is that yes, our ancestors lived with pain.

I have ovarian cysts. When a largish one bursts, there is nothing I can take to alleviate the sudden and blinding pain. I lie down wherever I am, and cannot move for 2 hours. I can't talk or scream. My doctor asked innocently why I didn't go to the ER, and I told her I can't get to my phone to call 911, because I can't move. I can move a bit after 2hrs, and the pain leaves me after 48hrs.

Only opioids would relieve that type of pain, and I don't have them on hand, nor do I want to. Thank God I've only had two episodes in my life. Worse than natural childbirth, of which I've had two as well.

I had an office mate that happened to and it was super scary.  She collapsed on the ground moaning and unable to move and I didn’t know what to do.   I called Hr and we called 911.  She wanted HR to give her morphine — she was from China and said they would do that there when it happened.  The EMS folks also were not willing to give her a morphine shot and put her back to work, which is what she wanted.  I think it was the first time it had happened to her in the U.S. and she didn’t understand the restrictions around opioids.  [/quote]
