I know that it is not the conditions them selves but how they effect you but would it help the DM understand the condition and symptoms if they do not know what the condition is.

The DM, whilst not medically trained should have access to medical information in-house and we know that use the internet for further information, but that does not mean that they are getting the right information or that they understand it.

That said I think you need to be cautious, the more you throw at them the less they are likely to absorb, so something short, perhaps with bullet points, with links to further reading may help your case, as always it has to be relevant to the ESA Descriptors for it to have real value, a common symptom list might be a good start.
