Would you be able to enjoy traveling to a new country if...?(read)

Lets say you just won tickets to travel to a country. It's completely free, hotel, free tickets and your best friend or partner is invited along for the ride but you have chronic fatigue syndrome where you have pain in your face, your entire body aches with severe muscle pain, your eyes burn and you constantly struggle to keep them open, you have severe brain fog (you don't understand what's going on, can't process much, forget something the minute after you see it, etc), you have chronic insomnia (you wake up 10 times a night nearly every 20 minutes), you have a migraine at least twice a day that causes you to stop what you're doing to sit down for an hour with a towel over your head and tons of pain medication in your body. Also, every time you walk without sitting down for 1 hour, you have to sit down and close your eyes for at least 15 minutes until you can gather yourself up again.

Would you go or not?

No, that's silly, I'd wait/hope to get better so I can enjoy it later 26
Yeah, I'd probably go but I wouldn't enjoy it 5
Yeah, I'd go and I'd be able to enjoy it 8

    I wonder if these are all separate ailments. I think you need a better doctor who can diagnose you with something that pulls all these symptoms together so you can stop relying on pain meds. To answer the question, I'd go. You'd have at least a few memories, and it's better than staying at home, seeing how you'd have the symptoms either way.

    I think I'd try my hardest to enjoy it.

    You're going to be in a lot of pain no matter where you are so why not try to make the most of your life and experience something new by travelling to a new country. I would go, take a lot of pain-killers, and make the best of it.

    I'd go and get over all my ailments, so I could have the time of my life.

    I'd wait. Why go when you're basically in dying mode? Wait to enjoy it or feel at least half better and then go back.

    Instead of waiting for you to get better while being in pain the whole way, I'd just go because no matter where I am at, I'll be in pain so why not enjoy the trip? What if I waited for me to get better, but I ended up making myself worse? I probably would never be able to go anywhere without assistance! If I went in the trip, I would have went to another new country, got to experience everything, and would be happy! Whenever I'm sick, but I'm happy, it kind of makes me feel better so why not?

    If I am so sick that it hurts to move, I'd give it to someone who needs it. I love to help others, but when it comes to traveling, I can never pass the opportunity down.

    Yes, it might not happen again... And I might die, so, like the others, I'd enjoy it.

    No, I think I would give the opportunity to someone who I think deserves it and would enjoy it more than me.

    It seems like it wouldn't be a fun time but if it's free, I might go as it seems you're dealing with all of that regardless of where you are but if it's a country you dreamed about going to, wait until you're better so you can have happy memories and are able to actually fully enjoy it.

    Good luck with your health.
