As I mentioned this pain tends to cause you to stop breathing when it is at it's most severe. As I'm sure you know not breathing causes oxygen deficiency to the brain witch is never a good thing. I actually fainted from the pain in 2003. In retrospect it is kind of a funny story. I lived with my friend Adrienne at the time. She was the one with me at the ER that trip. After many hours spent in the hospital bed I had to go to the restroom really really bad. Being a good friend Adrienne tried to assist me in this task. The whole task was quite a trial for both Adrienne & I & not very successful. With much effort I was able to get myself onto the toilet but not off of it! With Adrienne's help I managed to get up just enough to cause excruciating pain to radiate through what felt like my entire body. The next thing I knew I was on the tile floor dripping wet. I had fainted and collapsed to the ground during my attempt to become vertical. The wetness was from Adrienne pouring water on my face in an effort to wake me up. When I was coherent enough to realize what had happened all I can remember thinking was "Fuck, now I have to try to stand up from the GROUND!" I couldn't so I eventually crawled back to my bed.
Back to 2009...I'm doing much better now. I still hurt but at least I can wipe myself now without assistance, and of course in a situation like this unassisted bathroom trips is the true measurement of success!!
Thank God I've been blessed with a high tolerance to pain. :)
