Well, that does seem to capture the gist of it.
Unfortunately, the Polish seems to lack umlauts (I do
believe the z in schorzenia needs a "v" on top of it).

Not actually speaking Polish fluently I think I understand
this to literally translate to

        "not have $data (of) this problem (of) health"
