Do you ever wonder how/when illnesses were discovered/isolated/invented?

For example I never heard of Fibromyalgia when growing up, but lots of people had rheumatic pain

CFS was probably mid eighties I guess, but I don't have a clue about IBS

But there must other things that have been discovered/isolated/invented - I'm just interested
