today my friend explained to me a theory called "pain localization" while he pinched himself hard on the arm. the theory states that if you're feeling pain over a wide area, like an ache (migraine, back ache, broken bone, pulled muscle, etc), and you "localize" the pain by pinpointing it intensely to one area, that your overall suffering ( Read more... )

Your mom sounds like a fun person to hang out with!!
