Huh??????? My brain must be even WORSE than I realized! I always thought this quote was talking about comparing net worth/achievements/abilities/physical beauty.......comparisons that I, too, am loathe to make.

BUT, comparing myself/my illness TO someone who is in much worse shape...............well, let me just say that this has stopped many a "pity party" AND brought me to my knees in prayer for those less fortunate.

I know I'm probably just silly -- but, if God gave me a list of all of the autoimmunes and said I HAD to pick one. I'd probably choose MG.

No offense meant -- and, hopefully, none taken.
