There is huge variability in who feels better and who feels worse during exercise. How we interpret interoceptive cues like heartracing and breathlessness might be key. Gaynor Parfitt Pain Adelaide 2018

If you tell someone to work at an exercise threshold or get them to self select their effort, then surprise surprise, the effort is similar but their pleasure is higher when they self select. #PainAdelaide

Dr Gila Moalem-Taylor now on cytokines, neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain #PainAdelaide

Speaking now at #PainAdelaide is Jakob Jakob Hohwy ‘the mind arises in and is shaped by prediction’

Amazing presentation from Jakob Hohwy, with an excellent recurring goat cameo. x.com/LCHeathcote/st…

Duck or rabbit? NO. The duck is eating the rabbit!!! #PainAdelaide

Pain Adelaide Learning a lot about the terrific advances in pain research at this meeting!

Does chronic pain lead to other chronic illnesses? #PainAdelaide

Persistent pain…. the presentation resulting from interactions of mediators over mediators over mediators. Persistent pain is complex!! #PainAdelaide

Many people with chronic pain also have chronic diseases. But our clinical care is not very integrated. Can we develop broad-scale interventions that target risk across pain and disease? Chris Williams Pain Adelaide 2018

Codeine has such variable metabolism in individuals. Why some people just don’t respond to it #painadelaide

Fantastic and diverse talks at #PainAdelaide

Quick fixes and entitlement culture. I wrote about this a few years ago beyondmechanicalpain.com/attitude-entit… #painadelaide

Why has codeine been removed from OTC in Australia? It doesn’t work! 12 people need to be treated to have one person’s pain halved. #PainAdelaide

Cannabis is a plant- not a medicine! We understand what medicines do and how they work and the doses we give. People react very differently to cannabis as it contains multiple drugs #PainAdelaide

This is not a medicine, this is a plant that has incredibly variable components #cannabis #painadelaide

How people create cannabis oil can lead to massive variations in THC content. How it is administered will also lead to massive variation in dose #PainAdelaide

The list of claims of efficacy for cannabis are just extraordinary… Wow. Just wow. #PainAdelaide

It’s a wrap! And a divisive final question at the #PainQandA: Should we stop or keep seeking a “cure” for chronic pain? What an honour to attend Pain Adelaide 2018. And thanks everyone for retweeting!
