A True Chronic Pain Dialogue
Me: I think I'll rotate the couch cushions.
Erythromelalgia: Great!
Me: What?
EM: Yeah. We've been waiting for a chance to flare.
Me. But it's just a couple cushions.
EM: That's all we need.
Me: But why does it burn so much?
EM: Because that's what I do.
Me: And the redness?
EM: A lovely splash of color.
Me: Doesn't take much for you to show up.
EM: You're welcome.
