100

I am a Chronic condition caused by insulin resistance, due to a mix of genetics, obesity, and lifestyle choices. Typically, I begin in adulthood but is being seen more often in adolescents.

Diabetes Mellitus Type 2

200

I am a disease in which airflow into and out of the lungs is blocked, usually due to a combination of bronchitis and emphysema

Primary cause is smoking.

COPD 

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

300

Bulging in the groin area ( portion of the intestines protudes through a weak point in abdominal wall) accompanied by an aching sensation, pain with lifting, coughing, or movement, weakness, or pressure in the groin

Inguinal hernia 

400

I am an overgrowth of the fungal micro-organism Candida albicans

Candidiasis 

Vaginal itching, burning with urination, white vaginal discharge

Often called a “yeast infection”

500

I am hardening of the arteries due to fatty deposits causing narrowing of vessels potentially due to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, and other diseases

Atherosclerosis 

I don't want that

100

I am an absence of clotting factors in the blood as the result of a genetic defect

Excessive bleeding, frequent bruising

Hemophilia 

200

I am irritation and inflammation of the mucous membrane in the nose, along with excessive production of mucus

Rhinitis 

Allergic rhinitis is triggered by allergens in the air.

300

I occurs when pieces of endometrial tissue grow outside of the uterine lining, typically on the ovaries, intestines, or pelvic wall

Pelvic pain with menstruation, pain with intercourse, pain with bowel movements and urination, infertility

Endometriosis 

400

I present with pouchlike herniations through the muscular wall of the colon caused by high pressure inside the colon pressing against weak areas of the colon wall

Diverticulitis 

found via colonoscopy 

Asymptomatic unless inflamed. When inflamed it is termed diverticulitis: pain in lower left abdomen, fever, chills, nausea, and vomiting.

500

I am the heart’s decreased ability to pump adequately due to coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, cardiomyopathy, valvular disease, or heart defects

CHF (Congestive Heart Failure) 

Is there a cure?

100

I present with excessive accumulation of uric acid in a joint, forming needle-like crystals in the joint

Gout 

Red, hot, swollen joint

Most common in the big toe

200

 I form hard crystalline deposits in the urine due to abnormally high levels of certain substances in the body

kidney stones

(renal calculi) 

Severe episodes of back and side pain, pain with urination

Dark or foul-smelling urine, nausea, frequent urination, fever, chills

300

I am an overproduction of the thyroid hormone by the thyroid gland

Sudden weight loss, rapid heartbeat, increased appetite, anxiety, tremor, sweating, frequent bowel movements, enlarged thyroid gland

Hyperthyroidism 

400

Causes can include many factors including malnutrition, inadequate calcium intake/absorption, endocrine disorders, immobilization and lack of exercise, and aging can lead to bone loss, making bone weaker and more prone to fracture.

Osteoporosis 

DEXA scan measure bone mineral density 

500

Cardiac muscle becomes ischemic and dies, typically due to occlusion of the cardiac muscle because of atherosclerosis of the coronary artery.

MI (myocardial infarction) 

heart attack

I don't feel good

100

I am most often caused by overuse of oral corticosteroid medications. I present with Excessive fat deposits in the subscapular area and face.

Cushing Syndrome 

200

I am a immune response triggered by gluten leading to damage of the small intestine and an inability to absorb nutrients.

I present with Anemia, diarrhea, gas, bloating, weight loss, fatigue

celiac disease 

300

I am muscle pain 

myalgia 

400

Skin of the affected area is swollen, red, and hot to the touch.

Bacteria (typically Streptococcus or Staphylococcus) enters the skin through cuts or abrasions and causes infection of connective tissue with severe inflammation of the skin.

Cellulitis 

500

I present with significant enlargement of the thyroid gland, increased heartbeat, muscle weakness, disturbed sleep, tremor, weight loss, anxiety, irritability, and bulging of the eyes.

Caused by malfunction in the body’s immune system that disrupts normal thyroid regulation, resulting in hyperthyroidism

Graves Disease
