I have poor interoception (reading body signals), as well as alexithymia. I seldom know what my body is telling me in terms of discomfort or severity but I do have a high pain threshold. I know this because I've had multiple (10+) complex open surgeries, plus many invasive treatments which other people think sound horrendous. I've broken bones and given birth without an epidural. I seldom take any type of pain relief, even when 6-8 weeks of recovery is required for some of my surgeries.
The one type of pain that bothers me and I can't stand, is dental pain. I love going to the dentist because they remove the pain via root canal etc. I'd rather have a complicated dental surgery than the tooth pain which leads to it. I also have an aversion to fevers. I'd rather be very ill, or in extreme pain, than experience a fever.
