    I literally cut off part of my finger, and just gauzed it up, cleaned up the blood, and kept cooking dinner, and went to the grocery store before I went to the hospital. I get a stomach bug and I am bedridden for about a week.

    Testosterone is weird like that.

    Testosterone is an immuno suppressant, I believe.

    Makes inflammation and symptoms from illness a bit worse.

    On the other hand, guys generally are more pain tolerant(backed by science).

    You know, in order to make a valid claim about scientific evidence, you actually have to cite the source. Saying "Backed by science" doesn't mean shit if you don't have a meta study to prove it.

    I'd rather break a bone than get a cold. I'm not even exaggerating. I've broken about 10 bones in my life and yeah it hurts but I'd take that any day over a cold that lasts two weeks, which they always do for me. Fuck colds.

    I doubt it was the common cold, but a few years back I had something that really wanted me dead. We’re talking extreme light sensitivity, inability to hold fluids, complete loss of appetite, high fever, and extreme weakness in the muscles. I was sick as a dog for 2 weeks.

    Science already settled this. Testosterone makes injuries more bearable and colds less.

    parent
  • 3 points BoiFrosty

    Pain from injury is localized and can be worked around or ignored.

    Sickness drains your strength across your whole body while playing merry hell with your breathing and blood pressure all while interfering with your ability to eat, and rest.

    A car with a flat tire or broken window can drive. A car with a clogged fuel pump ain't going nowhere.

    Unless you straight up lost the functionality of both your legs, injuries usually aren't routine altering and are typically confined to a single area of your body.

    ILLNESS, on the other hand, not only affects your entire body but just completely saps your energy and ability to do things en-masse.

    Simple. Pushing through pain is badass, and you don’t notice most of the pain until later due to adrenaline.

    Being sick is uncomfortable, and being uncomfortable fucking sucks. I want that done with as soon as possible.

    My sisters always bullied me for being weak as I would get sleepy and tired when I had the flu. One day I just accepted im weak. THE SAME DAY I fell down 12 feet on concrete floor, broke my ankle instantly, dragged myself home, got hit my car and had a massive bruise on my hip and back, fell down and vision started getting blurry, a fucking stray dog bit me. Dad took me to doctor (I was 15) and it took three doctors to examine and asses me. I had a shattered ankle, a hairline fracture in the same leg, internal bleeding on cars impact (Some blood vessels got hurt) and a concussion. Doctors were shocked that I was able to drag myself home and still form conscious sentences. Pain was bad but that day my sisters realised I am fucking built different.
