Do you scream, whimper, cry and be a pain in the neck for others around you? Else, do you be quiet and tolerate the pain until you get better? Be truthful.

If I'm a bit poorly I carry on but play the marter. If it's something more serious I get secretive about it because I don't want anyone to worry. What about you?

Nice of you. I can tolerate a lot of pain. Sometimes my hubby cant imagine how I could bear so much.

I am a stoic I go hide away from others and feel miserable without sharing. I learned this when no one visited me in the hospital

So you want to get pampered as well (LOL). I know its very hard to be in a hospital without visitors. I was in a hospital for exactly one month when I gave birth to my second kid. If my hubby gets even 5 minutes late to come, I play hell.

I do exercises everyday for about 1 hour and I drink lot of water. These two are keeping me away from common ailments like cough, back pain, sneezing, cold, fatigue, neck pain etc. If at all it appears, I do take some medicine and it vanishes in a day.

I didn't answer you question, really.When I am not feeling well, I just want to be alone. "Just go away and let me die!"

I have a very high pain threshhold, so if I have to resort to crying, screaming or whimpering then I am in very bad pain. This has worked to my detriment a couple of times, because I thought that the pain would go away and when it didn't I was eventually forced to seek medical help. Twice it nearly cost me my life, so now when the pain does get bad, I get straight to the Doctor. On the whole I think that women handle pain much better than males do, but that might be because we are the ones who bear the babies and not them. LOL

I selected yours as best reponse. I agree with you. The level that women can handle is far superior than men. It surely because of the babies and other stuff that a woman has to face. In a lot of ways, men are being mollycoddled dont you think?
