Hello,

I'm wondering if someone can help me. I'm looking for information for a piece of short fiction on common diseases in Ireland in the 1950's. Tuberculosis springs to mind but I'm looking for a disease whose symptoms are more subtle and potentially curable if acted on quickly enough. Also not a disease that is solely linked to poverty.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

My Left Foot springs to mind but it was hardly a disease and it was the 60's?

I never did read it.
