It's the same as if you are sick. Do you say "I have a sickness" or "I'm sick"? [/quote]

But you made my point. Of course you wouldn't say I am a sickness. Just as you wouldn't say I am a diabetic.

Words are just words,they matter not, but when they become a mindset in treatment as the word "diabetic" certainly has become in the medical profession I have a problem with that.
