Unless you’ve lived with nerve pain, it’s almost impossible to explain the depth of it. It isn't just an ache or a throbbing injury—it’s a completely different kind of agony. It reaches places normal pain doesn't touch, and the intensity is something only those of us who deal with it can truly understand.

​To anyone else, it’s just a word, but to us, it’s a pain like no other. Just wanted to vent to a community that actually gets it. How do you describe your nerve pain to people who have never experienced it?

My partner and I have completely different outlooks on burping out aloud.

When it happens to me, I always say "pardon or excuse me." It is such an automatic habit for me that I even find myself saying it when I am alone. My partner, however, never does pardon himself, even refusing to do so. His reasoning is that, it is a natural biological function, so he shouldn't have to say pardon or excuse me. My view is, while it is natural, basic manners and consideration for others never hurt anyone.

Where do you stand on this?
