If you’re find with ads, finding the definitions is easy and productive. However, as someone with erythromelalgia I found the definition very misleading and dangerous because of how misleading it is. EM is known to START SHOWING SYMPTOMS IN ADOLESCENCE. Not in people middle age. Another part of this is there’s a higher mortality rate due to suicide so I’m not sure how many of us MAKE IT TO MIDDLE AGE. EM is not something that can be planned. Em can either progress rapidly over weeks/months or steadily over years. I found the part where symptoms generally go away with cooling and rest to be infuriating. As there’s a reason why MAYO CLINIC HAS AN EM CLINIC. Because after the gabapentin, the ketamine compound, Botox, and then the nerve blockers there’s not really much left to do. I have to deal with ignorant doctors and nurses who will tell me my exercise induced flairs can BE FIXED BY EXERCISE when it puts me at risk for nerve damage. Please stop contributing to the idea that because it’s not cancer or liver failure, EM isn’t severe. Because it is. And many of us commit suicide because the pain is so bad.

I have a rare autoimmune condition and this app has been really helping me better understand terms and mechanisms involved in my condition. Only complaint is that the interface is not refined for use on newer phones but is still totally useful. In particular, I love that it provides definitions from multiple sources. This helps me a lot in better understanding what each terms means.

I love this app because it not only covers medical issues and illnesses, but also medications. Usually it is one OR the other. The only thing that could make the app better would be if it did not require perfect spelling and could give you a few possibilities to choose from. Not everyone knows how to spell EVERY medication or illness correctly.
