I would ascribe the exact opposite feelings to the permanency of condition vs disease. Disease feels like something you get, you fight off, and you get better. A condition feels like something that you deal with and plan your life around.

Yeah, your right. I added in that disease is historically thought of something that you catch (and hopefully get over). Conditions can also be categorised as chronic which would be that permanent state of you have it, deal with it.
