- Mycobacterial Lung Infection: Mycobacterial lung infection is a type of lung disease caused by bacteria related to tuberculosis, treatable with antibiotics to help you breathe easier and stay active.

- Phosphorus Metabolism Disorders: Sometimes, the way your body handles phosphorus gets out of balance, causing symptoms like weakness or bone pain. Your doctor can guide you on the right approach, whether it's diet changes, medication, or both, improving your comfort and enabling you to stay active and independent.
- Diarrhea: Diarrhea can disrupt your daily routine, but by focusing on rehydration and dietary changes, you can alleviate symptoms and regain comfort.
- Hidradenitis: Hidradenitis suppurativa is a chronic skin problem leading to inflamed, painful bumps, and while it can be challenging, treatment options are available to help manage symptoms and enhance your overall well-being.
