airyairyquitecontrary: amydentata: queershoulder: dogunderwater: fantasticallyfibro: mynameiskleio: rainbowrosepetals: purpleviolin91: the best pain scale ive ever seen for chronic pain #Repost from @jennjenn129 with @repostapp #chronicpain #rsd #crps Helpful activity scale both for talking to practitioners and gauging your own progress. I’m 30!!!! Fuck. I thought I was doing better but yeah I’m at a 40. I I’m out much longer I get a migraine or otherwise ill most times :/ This is like… too real. How am I supposed to bullshit myself now?? (no but seriously this is amazing). [image description: A table, by jennjenn129. There is an icon of a bald girl and a tumblr reblog symbol by her username.] Table contents: 100 - Fully recovered. Normal activity level with no symptoms. 90 - Normal activity level with mild symptoms at times. 80 - Near normal activity level with some symptoms. 70 - Able to work full time but with difficulty. Mostly mild symptoms. 60 - Able to do about 6-7 hours of work a day. Mostly mild to moderate symptoms. 50 - Able to do about 4-5 hours a day of work or similar activity at home. Daily rests required. Symptoms mostly moderate. 40 - Able to leave house every day. Moderate symptoms on average. Able to do about 3-4 hours a day of work or activity like housework, shopping, using computer. 30 - Able to leave house several times a week. Moderate to severe symptoms much of the time. Able to do about 2 hours a day of work at home or activity like housework, shopping, using computer. 20 - Able to leave house once or twice a week. Moderate to severe symptoms. Able to concentrate for 1 hour or less per day. 10 - Mostly bedridden. Severe symptoms. 0 - Bedridden constantly. Unable to care for self. I’ve reblogged this before, but I’m reblogging again because: Wow! An actually relevant and useful pain/exhaustion scale. I’m so thankful this exists. I think I’m somewhere between 60-40 right now, but 14 years ago I was at 0. Keep on truckin’… Much more informative than the scales of increasingly contorted cartoon faces.
