Nurses in palliative care and hospice are well-known to generously administer morphine in increasing doses, because it eventually takes away all the pain and suffering (of the families and nurses).

.. and of the patient. Being in pain, especially constant pain, sucks major ass. People who haven't gone through that don't really know. You can't just ignore it so, in turn, it occupies every space in your brain. We don't realize how many functions we possess that require the precondition of some level of comfort.

As someone young with chronic pain issue but otherwise healthy , obviously increasing doses of opioids or really any opioids at all. This aspect of it occupying every space of your brain can be true in this case as well. It’s hard to compartmentalize and still go about your daily life while no one can see the anguish your in.
