In dialog format:
"Hey, you hurt your hands? Whatcha got, carpal tunnel?"
"No, it's deQuervain's tendonitis."
*blank look*
"Well, it's kinda like carpal tunnel, but it affects the tendons that control my thumbs."
"Oh, okay."
Two years later (or thereabouts):
"Oh, you can't eat wheat. You got a wheat allergy?"
"Well, no. I've got celiac sprue."
*blank look*
"Okay, it's autoimmune problem that is kicked off by the gluten in wheat, which causes my immune system to attack my small intestine, causing all sorts of problems absorbing nutrients."
:D
