A selfie taken by a young person with a buzz cut and rainbow glasses sitting up in a hospital bed. Her eyes are barely open, skin and lips pale, and she looks exhausted; however despite being in pain she appears emotionless, and is not crying.

I had an idea for a series of photos of people with chronic pain at a 10 on the pain scale to combat the misconception that if we aren't screaming and sobbing we aren't in real pain, so I'm just gonna make it a hashing anyone can join. I'll start. Hi, I'm Loo and #ThisIsMy10 #ChronicPain #Disabiliy
