All sickness come from karmic reaction in some way, also the sickness of the brain. it can have been caused from a earlier life and that this life you have to pay the karma back.

Kamma isn't some kind of cosmic punishment system!

Also the Buddha said speculating about the results of kamma would drive us crazy:

AN 4.77 Acintita Sutta: Unconjecturable

"There are these four unconjecturables that are not to be conjectured about, that would bring madness & vexation to anyone who conjectured about them. Which four?

"The Buddha-range of the Buddhas is an unconjecturable that is not to be conjectured about, that would bring madness & vexation to anyone who conjectured about it.

"The jhana-range of a person in jhana....

"The precise working out of the results of kamma"...

"Conjecture about [the origin, etc., of] the world is an unconjecturable that is not to be conjectured about, that would bring madness & vexation to anyone who conjectured about it.

"These are the four unconjecturables that are not to be conjectured about, that would bring madness & vexation to anyone who conjectured about them."

Kamma is intentional action - and we can all see the results of our intentions in the present lifetime, without imagining that medical conditions are the result of them in some supposed past life where we did something terrible.
