| Arthritis | Inflammation of a joint; most prevalent types are osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout. |
| Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) | A disorder characterized by debilitating fatigue and a variety of associated complaints. |
| Dermatomyositis (DM) | Diffuse, idiopathic, inflammatory myopathy; produces bilateral weakness that is usually most severe in the proximal or the limb-girdle muscles; characterized by pruritic or eczematous inflammation of the skin and tenderness of the muscles. |
| Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) | A chronic disorder characterized by widespread, nonarticular musculoskeletal pain and fatigue with multiple tender points. |
| Gout | Caused by an increase in uric acid production, underexcretion of uric acid by the kidneys, or increased intake of foods containing purines; joint involvement includes recurrent attacks of acute arthritis. |
| Lyme disease | A spirochetal infection caused by Borrelia burgdorferi and transmitted by the bite of an infected deer tick; characterized by fever, chills, headache, stiff neck, and migratory joint and muscle pain. |
| Myofascial Pain Syndrome | Musculoskeletal pain and tenderness in one anatomical region of the body originating in anterior and posterior trigger points that have resulted from muscle trauma and/or chronically strained muscles. |
| Osteoarthritis (OA) | A slowly progressive noninflammatory disorder of the diarthrodial (synovial) joints. |
| Polymyositis (PM) | Diffuse, idiopathic, inflammatory myopathy of striated muscle; produces bilateral weakness that is usually most severe in the proximal or the limb-girdle muscles; some forms are associated with malignancy. |
| Raynaud's Phenomenon | An episodic vasospastic disorder of small cutaneous arteries, most frequently involving the fingers and toes; a manifestation of systemic sclerosis. |
| Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) | A chronic, systemic autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation of connective tissue in the diarthrodial (synovial) joints, typically with periods of remission and exacerbation. |
| Sjögren's Syndrome | An autoimmune disease that targets moisture-producing glands, leading to the common symptoms of xerostomia (dry mouth) and keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eyes). |
| Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) | A chronic multisystem inflammatory disease of autoimmune origin. |
| Systemic Sclerosis (SS) | A disorder of connective tissue characterized by fibrotic, degenerative, and occasionally inflammatory changes in the skin, blood vessels, synovium, skeletal muscle, and internal organs. |
