Cancer
There are many types of cancer, some rarer than others. However, they all share the same basic features. One’s own cells are reproducing without halt. Furthermore, these cells do not die via the typical apoptosis process.
Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition that results in neuropathic pain, chronic fatigue, tenderness, muscle stiffness, and other such symptoms. There is currently no cure, although treatments may help alleviate symptoms.
Progeria
Progeria is a rare genetic disorder that results in rapid, and premature, aging in children. There are fewer than 1,000 cases reported in the United States, and no cure exists.
Alzheimer’s
Alzheimer’s is a condition that results in the deterioration of the hippocampus (the part of the brain responsible for memory). This results in severe memory loss. Eventually, the individual can no longer remember, or recognize, familiar faces, places, or events. Nor can the individual form new memories.
