    That and pain. I didn’t realize I was in pain my whole life until I had surgery for something else and they prescribed me Darvocet. Not only did I wake up feeling refreshed for the first time in my life, I found out just how much pain I’ve always been in. To the point where the surgery pain was nonexistent and I didn’t have to take more than 2 of the pills through the entire recovery period and the second time was just to test my theory from the first.

    I’ve had parts removed since and didn’t bother with the pain meds after. It didn’t hurt any more than the rest of me did. I’m not sure if I should be scared, worried, or proud of that.
