8 right now (2 earlier). Spent most of the past two years 3-4 on my good days and 11 on my bad days (11: completely immobile). Now I’m usually around a 2.

Also for those who haven’t seen it, the actually useful pain scale:

I use the pain scale for emotional pain, every day. I’m currently at a 4, touching up against a 5. That’s better than the 8 to 10 I’ve been experiencing for months, and I’m grateful for it.
