Why a high pain tolerance sucks!

I have a very high pain tolerance. Sounds great right? Well sometimes it is. I can go to the dentist and get a filling with no Novocaine. I can get a big bruise and not be bothered at all. In fact it feels weird so I tend to poke them. I've had eyelid surgery with no numbing medication while completely awake. This is all fine and dandy however, did you know that when you can't feel certain pains your body will try to find other ways to tell you to stop what you're doing. So, when I get a kidney stone my body first try's just making me really sleepy and easily worn out. Then it will maybe make me feel a little feverish. Then WHAM! I'm vomiting have horrible vertigo and can't move. Then it figures out how to give me the normal pain sensation. So my body waits until it's really bad and then it's like a brick wall of agony. So yes it's nice that I don't have a fear of the dentist and it's nice that I don't have to deal with small pains. It's not nice that I'm more likely to seriously injure myself because I'm already stubborn and push myself so it doesn't help that my body doesn't warn me until it's horrible. It's like a normal person can workout or do an activity and feel when they're starting to get sore and know to stop soon. My body waits until after I'm done to say oh you shouldn't have done that much..... NOT HELPFUL. So it sounds nuts but be thankful that your pain receptors work properly because for those who's don't it's kind of miserable. I'm also not used to feeling pain so once it hits me I can't focus on anything else. I'm not saying when you stub your toe you should do a happy dance but hey it could be worse.
