I'm GG on rs6746030, and consider myself to have a pretty high tolerance of pain. (I have small fiber neuropathy.)

Did you happen to do a methylation analysis of your SNPs at this website?

The board wont let me post the link to the studies

so you should google for a study titled "Pain perception is altered by a nucleotide polymorphism in SCN9A" head researcher Frank Reimann

and
"A SCN9A gene-encoded dorsal root ganglia sodium channel polymorphism associated with severe fibromyalgia" head researcher Gilberto Vargas-Alarcon

Im interested in others with rs6746030 AG who also suffer with pain syndromes like Fybromalgia. rs6746030 is tested by the 23andme test.
