• Hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies: A rare disorder where the peripheral nerves are more sensitive to pressure than normal which results in recurring periods of numbness, tingling and sometimes loss of muscle function. The condition can affect one or more nerves such as the carpal tunnel nerve. Permanent damage to peripheral nerves can result from recurring episodes. The severity of symptoms are greatly variable from virtually asymptomatic to disability.

• Progressive External Opthhalmoplegia, Autosomal Dominant: A slow progressive paralysis of the motor nerves of the eye (external eye muscles). The condition is often abbreviated to PEO which can include the eye muscles. PEO is usually caused by mitochondrial diseases such as mitochondrial myopathy. Muscles are the most frequently affected organs in mitochondrial disease. There are a number of subtypes each originating from a different genetic mutations and involving variations in the manifestations.
• Progressive External Opthhalmoplegia, Autosomal Dominant, 1: A slow progressive paralysis of the motor nerves of the eye (external eye muscles). The condition is often abbreviated to PEO and is caused by a mitochondrial disease called mitochondrial myopathy which affects the muscles which can include the eye muscles. There are a number of different subtypes, each linked to a different genetic defect. Type 1 is linked to a defect on chromosome 15q25.
• Progressive External Opthhalmoplegia, Autosomal Dominant, 2: A slow progressive paralysis of the motor nerves of the eye (external eye muscles). The condition is often abbreviated to PEO and is caused by a mitochondrial disease called mitochondrial myopathy which affects the muscles which can include the eye muscles. There are a number of different subtypes, each linked to a different genetic defect. Type 2 is linked to a defect on chromosome 4q34.

The condition is often abbreviated to PEO and is caused by a mitochondrial disease called mitochondrial myopathy which affects the muscles which can include the eye muscles. There are a number of different subtypes, each linked to a different genetic defect. Type 3 is linked to a defect on chromosome 10q24.
• Progressive External Opthhalmoplegia, Autosomal Dominant, 4: A slow progressive paralysis of the motor nerves of the eye (external eye muscles). The condition is often abbreviated to PEO and is caused by a mitochondrial disease called mitochondrial myopathy which affects the muscles which can include the eye muscles. There are a number of different subtypes, each linked to a different genetic defect. Type 4 is linked to a defect on chromosome 17q.
• Progressive External Opthhalmoplegia, Autosomal Dominant, 5: A slow progressive paralysis of the motor nerves of the eye (external eye muscles). The condition is often abbreviated to PEO and is caused by a mitochondrial disease called mitochondrial myopathy which affects the muscles which can include the eye muscles. There are a number of different subtypes, each linked to a different genetic defect. Type 5 is linked to a defect on chromosome 8q23.
• Progressive external ophthalmoplegia: The progressive occurrence of weakness in the muscles that control eye movement
• Ptosis: ptosis is an abnormally low position (drooping) of the upper eyelid
• Sensations: Changes to sensations or the senses
• Sensory symptoms: Symptoms affecting the sensory systems.
• Shingles: Infectious viral infection occuring years after chickenpox infection.
• Sick: Feeling ill or off color
