Sarcoidosis is a chronic condition that may affect almost any part of the body. Sarcoidosis causes persistent nodular inflammation (swelling) of the tissues. The most common tissues affected by sarcoidosis are lungs, lymph nodes, eyes, skin, liver and spleen. Almost any tissue or organ of the body may be affected.
The cause of sarcoidosis is still unknown. It was once thought to be a form of tuberculosis but this is now known not to be the case. Sarcoidosis is not contagious- you can't catch it from someone else.
Signs and symptoms when sarcoidosis affects the lungs: Sometimes there are no symptoms at all, and the disease is discovered incidentally from a chest x-ray taken for another reason. Sometimes people feel short of breath, cough, chest pain or a sense of heaviness in the chest

Mucopolysaccharidosis II
Definition: Systemic lysosomal storage disease marked by progressive physical deterioration and caused by a deficiency of L-sulfoiduronate sulfatase. This disease differs from MUCOPOLYSACCHARIDOSIS I by slower progression, lack of corneal clouding, and X-linked rather than autosomal recessive inheritance. The mild form produces near-normal intelligence and life span. The severe form usually causes death by age 15.

achalasia... I have it.
At first it was diagnosed as Anorexia Nervosa.... 6 months of trying to convince people I wasn't trying to throw up and after weighing 50lbs at 13, I was finally diagnosed correctly.
