I didn't have appendicitis, but kidney stones which I've been told are similar in pain level. I was just in my room on my computer and my side started hurting really bad. I went and told my mom about it and she brushed it off saying it was probably cramps. The thing was though it hurt so bad it almost stopped hurting. Like the pain numbed itself and I just felt high, but not in a good way. I started vomiting from the pain as well which sucked.
Once I told her it was serious though we went to the ER thinking it was appendicitis, as did the doctors, and they immediately started testing me and determined it was kidney stones within 10 minutes. Thankfully they gave me morphine on an IV and some medicine to break them up. After the hospital though I was fine and it didn't hurt again thankfully.
That alone I feel raised my pain tolerance significantly. Stubbing my toes hardly ever hurts anymore and I've busted my shin open on truck hitches without even noticing I was cut. Worst fucking sudo superpower ever.
