Medically Unexplained Dermatologic Symptoms (MUDS): Hiding in plain sight?

Abstract

Illness is not the same as disease. Illness refers to "the innately human experience of symptoms and suffering." ¹ Disease "is what the practitioner creates in recasting illness in terms of theories of disorder." ¹ A person's subjective experience of how she feels may not assume an underlying pathology. Illness can be organic, psychological or spiritual. A person can feel ill, but not have a disease.
