I’m neurodiverse and my pain tolerance is really bad. Anyone else like this?

    Same, except horrible periods. Doctors were puzzled that I didn’t notice until quite far in that a bunch of my knee cartilage is just gone. I’ve also gotten a tooth cavity fixed without anesthesia. Doctors have warned me of pain when treating a laceration and then it felt like it just never happened.

    But I’ll cry when the sun hits my face, or when I’m itchy, or when I’ve been wearing leggings or a turtleneck for too long, or when there’s a group of children on the bus.
