Fingers crossed!
I'm not sure if it will benefit. Can you imagine how upsetting it would be if you're in agony but your 'pain measurement test' comes back fine? I've spent 6 years having tests come back fine despite all evidence to the contrary and every time it kills me a little inside

I thought about that. We've been managing so long that we grow accustomed to the pain. But it could be that our pupils still react. I'd be interested to learn more about it.
@Alimacbean I know my eyes show pain in a mirror. Be interesting to see if a device could read them?
We certainly need a better way to understand pain. I think my docs don't get it.

Agreed. Unless you experience it, it's almost impossible to understand.
