@moss@kind.social Yeah, the two biggest purposes of the pain scales are to determine wherher you're in acute need of treatment and whether interventions have had a positive effect on lowering your pain.
The DVPRS and similar help patients do a much better job of communicating what clinicians actually need to know while also giving them a more powerful tool for self-advocacy, clarity of clinician expectations, and understanding of their own conditions.

@Texan_Reverend@kind.social The interesting challenge here for the latter of if interventions are working is if I should continue my migraine calendar at my previous scale to not impact results or raise the numbers for accuracy 😂 Maybe I ask my Very Precise Neurologist who will balk at a question on subjectivity.
