desperanceQ: How is a TENS machine like eating chillies?
A: One is obliged to be macho, and constantly look to increase the dosage. I've been running it mildly since noon, and that is no longer enough; I have turned it up from korma to rogan josh. By this evening, I'll have burned through one battery (I predict) and have the thing set on madras. My old physical-therapy goddess had a massive high-powered industrial version, that she finished me off with after every session; and once she'd set the vasty suckers on my back she used to dial it up from nothing, saying "Let me know when it's too much" - and I would just lie there and say nothing till she had it turned up all the way through vindaloo to phal. I loved that thing. (And despite the mega-oomph of it, as often as not I'd fall asleep under its ministrations. They do say that after a session of torture, it's perfectly normal to doze off. I attest to that. *nods*)
