Disease/Condition Glossary

Drug addiction: It is also called substance use disorder. It is a psychological condition that affects a person's brain and behaviour and leads to an inability to control legal or illegal drug or medication use. Opioid analgesics, such as morphine or diamorphine (heroin), are often subject to abuse, leading to dependence (addiction). If you are addicted to these drugs, you need a regular dose to feel ‘normal’. Otherwise, you will develop withdrawal symptoms within a day or so of the last dose. Withdrawal symptoms include sweating, feeling hot and cold, runny eyes and nose, feeling or being sick, diarrhoea, stomach cramps, poor sleep, and just feeling awful.

Pain: Pain is an unpleasant emotion brought on by an illness or injury. Acute (short-term) or chronic pain both exist (long-term). It may be widespread (body-wide aches) or localised (pain in a specific body area). Since different people have varying pain tolerance levels, pain is highly subjective. Even though pain is uncomfortable and inconvenient, it can provide clues as to what is wrong with the body. Cramps, headaches, bone fractures, stomach pain, arthritis (swelling of one or more joints), muscle strain or overuse, cuts, the flu, fibromyalgia, and irritable bowel syndrome are a few conditions that can cause pain (muscle pain with stiffness and tenderness).
