I would have thought that it went with the the count and non-count noun thing, but both "chicken pox" and "asthma" blow that out of the water.
I can't find a pattern either, but I suspect that we'll do best finding a pattern in the ones (far fewer) that DO use "the".
Hmm.
Then there are the ones that are, "I have a heart condition" or "I have a bad back" ...some even use the indefinite article. English is whacked.
