Medical issues can be intermittent, sporadic or last for years, and can be debilitating to a person’s social, physical, and psychological well-being. Individuals coping with illness and disability can develop or adapt their lifestyle and routines to accommodate the illness and improve their well-being.
Medical issues are varied and may include conditions like arthritis, cancer, cardiac events, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Lupus, Multiple sclerosis (MS), diabetes, weight issues and many others
