Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia (fibro = fibrous tissue, my = muscle, algia = pain) is a chronic condition that causes long-term, body-wide pain and tenderness in the joints, muscles, tendons and other soft tissues. Doctors classify fibromyalgia as a syndrome, which means it has a group of signs, symptoms and characteristics that occur together.
Colorectal cancer
Colon cancer is a cancer from uncontrolled cell growth in the colon also known as the large intestine. When the rectum is also involved, it is known as colorectal cancer. Rarely, other types of cancer can affect the colon, such as lymphoma, carcinoid tumors, melanoma and sarcomas.
Deep vein thrombosis
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is the formation of a blood clot (thrombus) in a deep vein, most commonly of the legs. Clots in deep veins (deep vein thrombosis) require immediate medical care.
Pneumonia
When you wake up with an awful cough that produces ugly green or bloody mucus, you've probably got more than just a bad cold or flu. Add to these symptoms exhaustion, a fever with shaking chills and sweating, shortness of breath, a sharp chest pain when breathing in or coughing, nausea or vomiting, diarrhoea, and confusion (especially in older people) and you're likely to have pneumonia.
