#CognitivelyDeferredPain
How would a computer tell you that it is suffering?

Netbooks communicate it pretty clearly, they just become unbearably slow

But what about a high end gaming rig?

They can seem fine under tremendous strain

All the while vital components rapidly break down

#ChronicPain
#CognitivelyDeferredPain
I believe there's an intersection of #Neurodivergence, #ChronicIllness, and #SystemicNeglect I call #CognitivelyDeferredPain

When you have the cognitive bandwidth to not experience pain directly, but it still takes a tremendous toll on that bandwidth

#ND #AuDHD #Disability #PhilSci #SignalBoost 🧠📈
#ChronicPain isn't something I actively experience

It's a resource intense background service my mind is always processing

It is lumped on top of an already overtaxed workload

Cognitive fatigue from a malfunctioning body isn't something our #Healthcare systems can quantify or take seriously

I've had a neuropthamologist leave me on a medication for two months, refill and all, that he noted in my chart as an "allergy" one week after prescribing it

A chiropractor "adjust" my neck, sending a shock of pain down my right arm, twice, telling her to not do that again after the first time
