I would.

Scott22 why are you taking meds? Surely, the meds are changing who you are, by altering your moods? I know they have changed me. I just think that your view is very hypocritical..no offense meant...just confused about your reply..hugs

I'd rather have a cure for only the bad parts of BP. I'd like to choose to keep the creative free spirit sensitive and energetic parts. Sound good?

Yes, I would take a cure. Whatever changes came with it, then that would be who I would become. I had to adpapt to these changes and will have to continue to do so. I might as well adapt to others, and have my brain back and be able to once again live more effectively.
As to cost, I would be willing to pay anything.
