Diseases I Don't Have

A coworker of mine recently said, if there was a disease/disorder, then I probably had it. I immediately began to list problems that I do not have by shouting them out whenever there weren't any guests around (we work at the front desk of a very nice hotel). Here is how it went:

Me: Brain tumors!
Chris: What?
Me: Gonorrhea.
Chris: Ew.
Me: Turrets.
Chris: You have Turrets.
Me: Melanoma.
Chris: What are you talking about?
Me: Diseases I don't have!
Chris: No. You have it all.

I continued with some other issues that I don't have, and started to feel thankful. Yes, I may have lots of health issues (asthma, allergies, pinched nerves in BOTH of my elbows, fibromyalgia, endometriosis, hypothyroidism, plantar fasciatis... and the list goes on), but, at least I don't have that disease that Michael Jackson claimed he had where your skin gets lighter and your nose falls off.
