Hyperalgesia. This is where I started with science. I was young, and thought that this is a good subject to examine… I never thought I would become the subject one day. I looked at pain sensitivity induced by inflammation. I never thought I would understand it like today. Today, I think about all the mice and rats that I’ve put through what I am going through today. At the time I did become a vegetarian. I never wanted to feed on anything that felt pain to become food. My work heightened my sensitivity. Today, I lost my sympathy but regained my sensitivity. My sensitivity to pain. Maybe I am closing a loop here. Checking out with my bad back. Checking out to a better horizon… brighter… vistas.

today, especially, i feel your pain. or was it yesterday?
I don't know if you remember. but we published this paper in... PAIN. yes my first paper is in PAIN, which I believe is an important journal in the field.
only a scientist would get the irony in this!
I can't justify any scientific progress that is based on the suffering of someone other than the scientist himself/herself.
but it's a whole field of study.
branches from behavioral assessment.
I wouldn't get into it now... but a the time it was different.
