Had my trigeminal nerve infected by a wisdom tooth I should've had removed ages ago. I can endure pain pretty well, I think. There's a constant, and you can get used to it. You can push through a shock, you can adapt to the pattern.

This fucker had no pattern. It was a new kind of pain at every moment, staccato, like an angry man adjusting the antennae on an old tv, looking for signal. I was exercising in place of sleeping, to have something to direct the emergency body responses into.

Fortunately, everything resolved after the tooth was removed. But goddamn. The only thing I'd put on par with getting kicked in the sack.
