Nominal is the numerical value of the money given whereas PPP is purchasing power parity, something which addresses the fact that 1 usd may buy half a mcchicken in America but can buy 1 mcchicken in India. Basically you get different quantities of goods for the same value of money in different countries. PPP accounts for this, so 0.75usd nominal buy, in the African country, what 1.50 would in the US.

What motivates you to keep going? Pain and supressants all the time sounds utterly unbearable. and you are a superhuman to have continued living as normally as possible through it all. What is your motivation.

P.S: If you have freetime, you should watch Naruto/One Piece if you dont already. It'll fill your freetime with tears, on the edge of your seat, ear to ear grins, rolling on the floor laughing moments :)

Although a hero to me, was originally someone who could help others, you seem as heroic as any Superman. You are truly an inspiration. We have heard of Prisoners of War who come back with a few fingers chopped off in interrogations and that's their breaking point. Of course, I don't mean it shows they are weak, but it shows you are even stronger than that. Honestly, if this ever happened to me I think I would do a bunch of YOLO things while on meds and then just jump...

The world has a dark side and a bright side, and this is a reflection of our souls. Your soul is too brilliant for me to see a speck of darkness. Sure you needed drugs to get back into the game, but we ALL need help so you shouldn't credit just the drugs. Give yourself some credit that you made sure there was a game to get back into despite all that, and keep shining my friend :D

Completely off topic: Naruto is a story about a boy who is severely discriminated and who never stops believing in his only friends so that one day he can prove to everyone that he is worth something in this world. He has great charisma, brutal honesty and a comical love life. It's really quite an inspiring show/manga, and that said, don't visit the /r/naruto quite yet. You'll be put off by all the unknown references and possible spoilers. Enjoy the show :)
