It would depend on the illness, I agree, and all the attendants that caused it.

But if I could step into my ex's shoes...completely...even with the memories...all of them, I would do it. It would be invaluable to understanding exactly what he feels, sees, experiences...both current and in the past....I would be a 'fly on the wall' but would prefer to be, and would accept the horror (if needs be) to walk his life for a week.

I would not ask he do same of me, because frankly.....I think he would prefer mine over his. And to go from nothing, into too much of a thing, back to nothing...would hurt him more than me...going from too much, to nothing, back to too much.

I would do it. Give me the magic ball, lamp, mirror.....I would do it.
