Illnesses vary: Your question is vague. Some people seem to have stronger immune systems than others, some people are able to (or foolishly) ignore disease symptoms and don't need treatment till it gets out of control. Some people are sick from a poor diet or bad habit (smoking) others are stuck with a poorly treatable disease (rheumatoid arthritis) and that then runs their life.
