I guess it depends on the person but to be honest, we think weve taken all we can and then we take on more and see strength we never thought we had.

The human body and mind are incredibly good at taking pain, and one will always take some of the burden from the other. I think the answer is how long is a piece of string. It depends why you are taking the pain. If I'm taking pain and carryong on for someone i love then there is no such thing as enough to make me give up.

hmmmmm...good question. I have felt at my breaking point before and than something small will happen. My daughters giggle, or a phone call from a friend. Than I am recharged. But sleepy is right it depends on the person. We are made to sustain a lot of pain but it does seem like too much at times

Pain levels vary with each person. I feel the pain you feel right now. I have the same problem right now. Hang in there. A day will come where you will play with the kids and you will feel better and spend time with your wife. Just hang in there my friend.

I have these days also.I also have asthma thrown into the mix. Even if the body is willing the lungs can rarely take it these days. I try to love them the best I can by listening,reading and things that don't tax my body. It is not easy . I love them ,so I just keep trying.

My pain level is up and down most days, more up then down these days, but the emosional stress and pain my wife gets under I can not stand. I just want her and kids to have a better life were they can go away and do things with out me braking down and spoiling it and have to go back to hotel or something.

As much as you need to. Then you go on. When things get overwhelming, go to others & let them help. You need to but reach out & let someone help.

*hugs*

Thanks I have a phyc but I all so have a good wife and friend base but phyc gives soke good idear's some times.

I am in pain 24-7 and in between I suffer from blurred vision, numbness, and chronic fatigue. Sex is a beautiful memory I miss more then anything. Pain.. Has taken away everything I have enjoyed and loved..

Well said KasKa

I can't really say. It does depend on the person. While I don't know what it's like to live with chronic pain, the week I've spent almost bedridden, healing from crashing my scooter, has been enough. However I did get to the library and pick up "The Art Of Happiness" by the Dalai Lama. I figure there must be a way to make the best of anything. Hell, I'm happy enough today just because I can move my arm again. It's still hurts, but it moves. :)

But am I wrong to think it would be easyer 4 wife if I did the by by ?

I think your wife and family would suffer so much. They are there because they want to support you. You have people around you that love you and want you to get better. Dont give up hope of getting better.

My friend, have you ever known someone who committed suicide?

Yes,I do 3 of them, I just do not want my wife to go through this for the rest of her life doing it
