THIS IS AN INTERESTING SITE FOR WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING AT OLD DOCUMENTS AND RECORDS AND ARE NOT SURE OF OLD MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY FOR CERTAIN DISEASES GIVEN THEREIN .........
To give some examples
Roseola: Rash seen in the secondary stage of Syphilis. Roseola sounds so benign but must have been a dreadful state to be in.
But if I heard I was suffering from Chloasma I would be really worried, but it's only a term for 'bownish freckly discolouration of the skin. Mostly seen in pregnancy'.
However, there is one thing I do suffer from occasionally:
Abasia: Hysterical inability to walk or stand (usually induced by G&T in my case!)
