Survivor's Guilt?
It's it possible to have "survivor's guilt" over a chronic disease? As in "I don't have it as bad as others"?

@lightningduck , life isn't fair. There will always be someone who is worse off and someone who is better off. Don't get hung up on guilt. You're not to blame.
@lightningduck To put simply, yes of course there is but as @stumbler says we have nothing to feel guilty for. On the opposite side of this there is taking joy in the fact that there are others worse off than yourself. Sickening to think of but they are out there, "Well I've got MS but at least I can talk without slobbering everywhere""...
