Sorry but I just need to vent. If I see one more news story on this where they neglect to mention that this attack was directed at a Gay Nightclub, I might scream. So many news shows are clearly avoiding the fact that it was directed at the LGTQI community and is a hate crime. They keep saying “Nightclub” and that’s…

Ah! Thank you for finding this, those men give me hope for the human race.

A guy who cut off his own arm and a mutant superhero = amazing role models.

Do you suffer from a physical disability or chronic disabling illness? If not, you might just consider not telling people who do to “chill”.

This is obscene. I will tell you, as a survivor who has continually struggled to form meaningful relationships in the 13 years since I’ve been raped, still has anxiety attacks, still has not had a serious relationship with a partner, rape can be a lifelong sentence for victims. I persevere and am fortunate to have had…

Really fucking sick of Jezebel, of all places, calling this bullshit “sex.”

Thank you. I'm terribly sorry you have to deal with it, as well. Here's to a pain-free day someday!

Thank you. I’m another person with chronic pain who takes prescription opioids (exactly as prescribed, and never more than I need) and has for years, because the alternative is that I would be in agony and unable even to get out of bed, rather than merely in constant severe pain but able at least to work and support…

The problem with cracking down on opioid prescriptions is that it makes it a lot harder for people who legitimately need them to get them.

After nine knee surgeries for a birth defect, I finally had a total knee replacement last fall. I was sent home with around a month’s worth of pain medicine. Unfortunately, I have developed CRPS Type II in that entire leg now. The swelling is worse now than right after surgery and torn ligaments in my ankle can only…

People experiencing chronic debilitating pain because doctors refuse to prescribe pain meds is also a problem. My husband has been taking Vicodin for 15 years....since he fell off a roof and broke his back. And it’s getting harder and harder for him to get anything to treat his pain. He probably goes through 30 pills…

For the record, as a sufferer of chronic pain: we do not know that Prince was taking Percocet recreationally. While he may well have been physically addicted, that does NOT mean that he didn’t need to take painkillers on a daily basis. His medical team absolutely should have monitored him more closely. But that…

You believe that people with chronic pain should just suck it up? Well I really hope you never have to deal with it. Opiates are sometimes the only thing that helps. Many people die every day from car accidents. Should we do away with all cars??

i don’t agree with this post, if I’m understanding you correctly. Which I may not be, it’s pretty early here. For example, a week of narcotic medication only? For ANY type of surgery or illness? And yeah, life wasn’t an unmitigated hell scape of pain for everyone before the 1990s but it was for some people. It still…

You... don’t really know what you’re talking about. I take 10 mg of extended-release morphine every 12 hrs for my rheumatoid arthritis and it’s allowed me to continue working and stay off of disability.

I can’t say that I thought hilarious was a great word choice.

I voted for Hillary for a whole host of reasons. 1. I think she’s the most qualified candidate by a longshot. 2. I think she’s got a good balance of idealism and pragmatism. 3. Bernie’s populism is appealing to me, but I can’t see any way for his rhetoric to translate into action with Congress as we have it. 4. I…
