I love this forum....thought this was just me
When my pain is high, I get the tears thing and usually I get a certain breathlessness as well, and I have to work hard to get my breathing anywhere near normal. I think all the things we're describing are the body's responses to the extreme stress caused by terrible pain. Oh it's so unfair guys, but I am glad it's not just me....next time I will feel a tiny bit better from knowing you all understand it too.
Take care of yourselves
Bram.
