    Autoimmune disease. All our supposed advancements, and we still don’t even know what causes an entire field of disease.

    And I’ve been under the knife nine times as a direct result of them

    Tinnitus. Mine is severe. 24/7. Check out r/tinnitus

    And about 1 in 10 people have it severe enough that it causes anxiety, depression, missed work/school, suicide.

    Everybody else has covered the big stuff, so I’ll say:

    Biting my god damned tongue.

    300,000 years of anatomically modern humans and we haven’t evolved a way not to fucking chew ourselves.

    Do I only get to choose one? Because Cancer is pretty bad, but I wouldn’t be adverse to them solving Alzheimer’s either.

    For me, it’s goutte.
    But I will happily wait several other conditions.
    Kill Cancer and I’m on you squad.

    It’s already been solved but let me get a CPAP off the shelf

    I can’t get good sleep test results when I wear one of those rings at home, and I don’t really want to spend an overnight at a lab. Let me just rent a CPAP and see how I feel.

    Endo or whatever causes fucked up period pain and fatigue.

    So many good answers. Dementia and cancer get my top votes, but for something less dire:

    Gluten intolerance. Seems like it should be soooooo treatable. I

    Honestly, the common cold. Affects everyone. It sucks. Would love an inhaled/nasal antiviral that just stopped it immediately.

    Epilepsy, if not fully cured at least a better understood. I have a different family members that suffer from this. I live with a sibling that has seizures when he sleeps. He sadly suffers from it so bad, it’s traumatic, literally has caused me ptsd to wake up dead in the middle of sleeping to his yelling to help him. Doctors said lifetime medicine to mostly get it under control might be the only thing to do

    Paralysis. Just imagine.

    Any brain diseases really. Dying is one thing. Dying without remembering anything or without being able to control your body is something else entirely. Also paralysis while we are at it.

    What a question. Have you been living under a rock?

    Doctors, or rather, pharmaceutical companies that employ new grads that are burdened with student loans, have found a “solution” to pretty much all conditions you can come across. Investors in these companies would withdraw their money if they offered a cure, because “it’s not a sustainable business model“. So the solution is something that’d manage the manifestation of these conditions after they become “moderate to severe”, only to the point where you can function enough to work and afford the health insurance, deductible, and medication co-pay. Believe they have it all figured out. They are not stupid.

    There’s a treatment for every condition to the point where they soon may need to start making diseases and creating treatments for them just to keep busy
