sasha_feather: Logan from X-men (Logan)
My friend Jesse sent me these two links. The TLDR is: head and facial pain is more emotionally devastating than the same pain in other parts of the body.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41593-017-0012-1 (abstract only; article is pay walled).

A lot of what I experience in regards to my pain is invalidating: doctors not seeming to take my pain as seriously as I want them to, for instance, and being denied for disability benefits. The general ableism of society also contributes to these feelings.

These articles are validating.

A memory.

You know when they make you run in elementary school? Sometimes when I ran hard my bottom front teeth would hurt for a little while, in the same nervy way they do now. But now it's most all the time.

Good things:
Seeing Tempest today
Cooler weather
Working in the garden with my roommate
Reading a good comic book -- "O Human Star"
Seeing my dog park friends yesterday

Perhaps you all can help! I am looking for:

A journal/ diary website to track headaches/ facial pain
that is not a phone or tablet app, as I don't have a smart phone or tablet
that is free or very cheap
that does not trigger a security alert on my computer (ie not shady)
