Trade places with someone you love, who is ill, so that you might better understand him/her and what he/she is going through? I would.

yes, yes, I would trade places with an older person just to experience aging and being older than I am now...I have fibromyalgia and would like for someone to experience my daily battle and tell me if it is any different from the usual aches and pains and I am no spring chicken but am middle age if I live to be over a hundred so think being 70-90 would be a rewarding experience for a day only though

I would, but I don't know if I could last a whole day. Some of the people that I know who are extremely ill have, what I feel would be, an extremely humiliating life of it, with their affliction. I don't know how they do it.

I would too. My mother doesn't sound well and she is so far away in Pa. I would trade places with her in a heartbeat, so she could fell better.

Hell NO.
I know what pain is. I know what suffering is.
Just because you want to be a martyr does not mean the rest of us want to be one.
Every one of us deal with our afflictions in our own unique way. These are the things that make us who we are.
Peace

In a second...but not to better understand them, but to give them a day without pain (well, sans my pain, at any rate).

You are a very good person. I don't know if I could do it. I wish I could say that I would.
