Mind over matter?

[Mey]

So like i've got this pain in my head, as if theres pressure on my brain (i assume its coming from the bad tooth ache ive got). So anyway to cut to the chase, what do people do when they trying to focus and just get on with it.

Mind of matter techniques an all that.

 

[lilmissnaughty]

in the words of peaches:
fuck the pain away
its in a song so its gotta be right
endorphins r ur friend

 

[Sparx]

one thing i learnt in the Army was, Pain is fear leaving the body

Let it go and dont think about it

 

[Infanity]

Do something that takes your mind of it totally where you have to focus

 

[Outlander]

um... bollocks

Pain is a signal your body needs to respond to. If your hand is toasting away in a campfire, it´s not "fear leaving your body", it´s a "hey, there´s something wrong, change that ffs!" message sent to you. Same is true for every other injury.
Of course, for a soldier, it´s maximum effectivity if he´s ready/willing to ignore that signal.

the brain itself cant feel pain, pain in your 'brain' usually comes from your neck...

 

[Alundril]

wank.

Or... you could just say fuck off and forget about it

 

[Oysterboy]

Go to the dentist and pull the bugger? (They have nice "plastic" substitutes.)

 

[georgie]

Or be a real man and pull it yourself with a pair of rusty old pliers, using sandpaper to stem the bleeding.

Head hurts -> Take pain killer -> Pain go byebye.

Repeat if said pain comes back.

Didn't your mother teach you anything?

 

[tris-]

time to get totally bladdered then.
get drunk enough an everything will seem funny includin the toothache.
plus as a bonus u might fall over an knock the tooth out an not notice.
result.

 

[Alundril]

That wont work ;/

If pills work then you don't need anything to relive pain.

Scientists once did a test where they gave someone an actually headcure and said it was just power but they had to take it. Result: Headache remained.

They said to a man who was diegnossed(sp) with cancer that they had found a miricle cure for cancer and he should immediatly start taking pills that were in actual fact nothing to do with cancer. Result: cancer was cured

It's all mind over matter.

If the goverment told people to eat grass because there was something in it to stop us ageing I garentee people would start eating grass.

lol

bit of a myth there... painkillers are designed to work in your body, work better for some than others and its all dependent on your weight and general body composition which is why there's only "general guidelines" on how much you need to take

(ofc there's a maximum you can take for anyone as it'll keeeel you otherwise )

 

[Alundril]

Well, no it's not abit of a myth

True though, they proberly do. But i'm guessing it's some sort of numbing effect or something.

How does the pill know you have pain in a certain part of your head ?

 

[Morphius]

it's true u body is the most powerful drug in the world, if the mind believes you are being given something which cures it and will work, it does.

 

[Mey]

placebo drugs ftw

google is your friend

How do anti-inflammatory painkillers work?

They work mainly by reducing the amount of prostaglandins that are made. Prostaglandins are chemicals that are released by cells at sites of injury. Prostaglandins are involved in causing inflammation and swelling. They also sensitise nerve endings which can cause pain. Anti-inflammatory painkillers stop certain enzymes (chemicals) from working which are needed to make prostaglandins. So, as you make less prostaglandins, you have less inflammation and pain.

basically they dull the connections at your nerve endings, thus you feel less pain

(and seeing as you are unlikely to be able to notice the pain elsewhere in your body you only notice the effect in the place where the pain is focused)

anti-cancer drugs are completely different as they arent there to dull things but rather kill cells or stop cells from reproducing

 

[Alundril]

Or thats what it just says and it's all made you belive it because some scientist said it does or it says it on the side of the packet so it must do it !

I see now were ODing comes from

 

[old.Tohtori]

All i can say, since i've had a broken rib for two weeks now, pain killers are the droppings of a very tiny god

EDIT: Oh by the way, roflkraut and lollerwurst at the teens who try to kill themselves with non lethal pain killers. All they get is a headache, and a hefty dose of diarrrrrrhea.

 

[Ezteq]

Tbh i thought arse gravey was fear leaving the body but could be wrong.

as for the tooth get a bit of string and a door.... you know the rest!

 

[lilmissnaughty]

heh reminds me there was a woman in the paper who got a friend to pull out her rotten tooth with a pair of pliers cos she had been searching for 2 years for an nhs dentist but couldnt get one.
lol it had never occured to her in the 2yrs to save up a pound a week an pay for it to be removed private.
chav logic is priceless.

 

[Benedictine]

best way to focus is to competely clear your mind

That, or stop smoking weed

 

[Tilda]

75mg of chlorpromazine twice daily will sort you right out!

 

[DocWolfe]

my dad has back problems and he takes these elephant tranquilizers, he's literally high all the time. Thats all well and good but he's also addicted to them, but unfortunately theres not much you can do about that.
