Mine has been filled full of a lot more pain than pleasure!. Maybe 90% pain and 10% pleasure!. Hard to measure percentage wise, just know that I've had a lot of acute illnesses that have effected me and left me in a lot of pain!. Pleasure has been a lot fewer and farther between!Www@QuestionHome@Com

No matter how I feel, I have always kept my pain and pleasure balanced!. Because if you've been in extreme pain for a while, at least you can look towards a time in the future when the pain will lessen, even if it's just for a bit, and if you work towards that hard enough, you can make a pleasure so small mean so much!.

Of course, if you choose to look negatively on everything, then of course you're going to be in pain!. So no matter what happens, as long as you have mind over matter you'll survive!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You took my answer!. I am serious, I have had more pain than anyone should have to go through!. My Doctors don't know how I can put up with all I go through!. They tell me I am a survivor, but I don't feel like one!. I must be though because no matter what happens, I always seem to survive somehow!. I must have a lot of Guarding Angels helping me because I sure couldn't do it alone!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

More than asking how it is for us, a more relevant question might be, "Why are you willing to continue to live like this!?" Seriously, it's not necessary, so I'm forced to conclude that you think this is normal, you don't think it's worth getting well, or this confirms what you think about life and yours in particular!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'd say about 70% pain for me and 30% pleasure!. But!.!.!.!.that percentage is changing since I have learned from all the pain and now view life quite a bit differently and in a much better light!. By the time I die I hope it's 80% pleasure and 20% pain!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
