doityourself, i know why you are wondering this. I have a unique, erm, 'symptom'? I guess that works for now... anyways, I occasionally lose any emotional connection with my past. I can mostly acknowledge that something happened, but have no emotional connection to it. While that is a little bit nice because it leaves behind the pain, it also affects everything else. All the good times meant nothing to me, not to mention the fact that it was continuous, so even mere seconds before was affected. I was drifting through life, and it was terrible.
Still, though, that goes away. I would not want to experience that full-time, though. Beyond that, I know that my pain has made me who I am, and despite the pain, I cannot tolerate the thought of me being anyone else. So, in a nutshell, my answer is no. The pain sucks, but without it, we aren't ourselves. Without the pain, we are just too... "normal"
