I am going to agree, however, that allergies would have to be right up near the top of the list. When your body starts to react against "normal" stimulus, and turns against you, well, I don't think an analogy with something I do get - migraines - is out of order. I hate the flu, I hate throwing up, I hate shitting through the eye of a needle, but I know that my body is simply trying to do something to get rid of a problem. With allergies, it's trying to fight a problem that isn't really a problem. That must be as frustrating as hell, especially when it can be so thoroughly debilitating or even life-threatening, coupled with having to identify and constantly try eradicate and avoid the provocation. Frankly, I'd rather have migraine.
