Many of the symptoms described aren't specific to any disease. I'm taking a class on the sociology of ageing at the moment (which is why this interpretation pops into my head) and some of the symptoms are incredibly easy to link to age- something that's considered a "disease" by much of western society.

Belly aches, hair falls off Skin gets covered with liver spots Blood in the mouth and a racking cough Head gets filled With feverish thoughts
What does that sound like to you? Still, Ola wouldn't like about these things...
