Would you want to live if you were in constant pain?

Jack has a point - I have constant low level pain which (  before I had it ) I thought would be intolerable but now I notice it less frequently and since it is unlikely that I will ever be entirely pain free I have accepted it and adapt my life around it (pace of activity, level of activity, delegation!! etc helps) I remember what it was like to be pain free and I am sad to think I will never have that again and never have the energy levels I once had as I am full of enthusiasm and plans to do lots. But I have just altered my plans rather than lose them.\n\nTo Jerzeygirl I would just like to say that people will naturally feel sadness and loss when someone dies, and to deny them that is not helpful. Our emotions help us to think about he person, grieve, accept, and ultimately move on ... but it takes time.\nHomily for the day finished !

What you might do if you are seriously hurting is to refuse medical care except for anti-pain meds for any pain you are having.  That is not the same thing as suicide.  Its what Art Buchwald did.  Except that he got better instead of worse.\n\nI can name several people with emphysema that simply turned off their oxygen for the night and died.  They could still breathe, but they just didn't get pure O2.

Sure thing. I'm not very interested in having children, so assuming I *could* still die if I wanted to, absolutely I would. Actually I'd probably die in some sort of accident before I ever got bored enough with life to want to die, but that's just me.

>>Till the person looses consciousness if someone else is inflicting the pain without their control to stop it.\n>>A person inflicting pain on themselves must be strong enough to endure it thats why he/she will do such a thing . \n>>It also depends on the ultimate want/desire of the individual as he/she might be in need to protect one's loved ones or one's country's secrets(as in prisoner of war) and may go upto any limit till he/she doesnt die.\nIts all in the strength of one's mind and the determination to endure the pain till the purpose of enduring it is achieved.

sorry to say it, but painful death is the answer. If that's your fate, please accept my sympathy.

Addicted to pain? Perhaps Masochistic, but I wouldn't say that's an addiction to pain and discomfort. Hope I helped, though.

I would give anything in this world for my husband to be pain free.  It hurts me just to watch him.  If I could, I'D live in pain to see him without.

Wouldn't you rather have fibromyalgia pain relief?

Sure if you want to be miserable for the rest of your life.  Once a looser, always a looser.  Fine a decent guy, there are lots of them out there.

No. I don't think I would. Enjoying your life here on Earth would be hard because you would always be thinking of that day you were going to die. Every day, hour, minute, and second would bring you closer and closer to your death and it would be terrifying. No thanks.

The problem is you can never be sure.  You might end up being a vegetable, or have little or no control of your muscles and spend the rest of your life sitting in a wheel chair slobbering on yourself and eating baby food while wearing a dirty diaper.  Good luck!\n\nI've heard of this condition--chronic intractable pain.  It's hard to believe that nothing can be done.  If that's the case the medical establishment should provide euthanasia.  You might need to have several doctors and buy some things off insurance to get your hands on a lethal cocktail.  Is there any hope this can resolve spontaneously?  I hope so.  Good luck and may God bless you!

Not me. When I'm old and sick and miserable and all my friends and loved ones are dead, what's the point of being alive? I would rather die than be suffering and constantly in pain

It could, and do you really want to risk that after going through the pain and spending that kind of money?   Take a dose of Tylenol and call it good. \n\nOH........................and...............................\n\n"no pain, no gain."

You need to talk to someone that has survived suicide.\nLike me. 5 years ago at age 41 out of the blue my husband left me for another women.\nI was totally comsumed with pain. I can not explain to you how it felt,more pain than I have ever tried to withstand.I lost 18 pounds in 3 weeks,I slept all the time-at least when I was not crying.\nIt had nothing to do with wanting to be dead-I just wanted the hurt to stop because I could no longer stand it.\nDue to a miracle I was saved (yes, my dr. used that term) and I checked myself into a psychartic hospital for the sucidial where I meet lots of people like me.I was there 2 weeks.\nI learned so much from those people and often think of them.\nIn the hospital was a children's ward and the kids would come to the cafeteria as a group-all those teenage girls some with there wrists bandaged.\nBut one sticks in my mind-the youngest one there-a 3 year old boy who had cut his wrists with a knife. The nurse told me it was not his first attempt.\nSuicidal people do not have the same thought process as "normal" people.They can be born that way or have a tramatic experience that "changes" there thought process.\nEveryone I met in the hospital said the same thing-not one of us WANTED to die we didn't think we had a RIGHT to die.\nSuicide is about a person being in so much pain,crushing pain,unbearbale pain,non-stop pain that death is a way to relieve the pain.\nYou may use any of this in your paper or email any questions to me.
