Yes, now I have awful thoughts of rude dollies. Behave.
I have endured a lot of physical pain, the worst was a blood clot on my lung. My blood pressure collapsed & I had to have my head lower than my feet. It was intolerable. But with kidney stone colic I have just hung onto a tree branch until the rotten thing passed & that is supposed to be rated as one of the worst pains. Teeth bothered me & days of discomfort until something was done. But as you say, the cuts, burns, & scratches of everyday do not bother me, until suddenly I am made aware of them while bathing - then I feel them!
It doesn't bring to mind naked dollies to me when I used the term natural nudists.
What I meant was someone who grew up not feeling ashamed of nudity. It was something that just
felt natural.
OTOH those who grew up thinking nudity as wrong, embarassed to be seen "bare- arsed" or was taught
it goes against a religion ideal, then later in life wants to become a nudist, might take some work
to get past those feelings. Un-natural nudist.
No more meaning meant than someone who has red hair naturally, but, decides they want to be a blonde.
They dye it, but, that is not the natural colour. Nuff said.
High pain tolerance, yes. Don't know if it has anything to do with autism, but, I definitely have it.
I can cut or scratch myself and don't even know it until I see it or someone else does.
I've taken flat out falls on concrete with no one around to help and crawled with my
arms on the concrete to get to something to help myself up with.
Go in the house and clean all the cuts and blood myself, then put on bandages.
I don't like anesthesia, so I've had some surgeries done without it or even pain killers.
Like zapping spider veins off my cheeks with an electric needle made to stop bleeding,
staying awake during cataract surgery, but, that doesn't hurt with numbing drops.
Just a matter of knowing you can do it without panicking.
I've had liver cancer and I got my biopsy with a full core needle the size of my little finger.
Just like being stabbed in the stomach with instructions not to flinch or it could go in the wrong
place with serious results. Lay in the CT machine just enough the doctor can see on a screen
where to whack the thing in. Blood spurts up, runs down and click, click it's extracted.
But then you have to lay perfectly still with it in you for about 15 mins until pathology
returns the report they have enough tissue.
That was probably the most painful thing I can remember doing with no pain killers or anesthesia.
But, then I've never had a baby.
Always thought that must be the worst.
