We do not know of any diseases which Shakespeare suffered from. People have guessed, of course, that he suffered from one disease or another, but there is no real evidence on which to base an opinion.

There were, of course, a number of diseases rampant at the time. There were periodic plague outbreaks which accounted for some members of Shakespeare's family, particularly his sister Anne and his brother Edmund. The disease which Shakespeare refers to more than any other in his plays is syphilis, which was a recently imported STD affecting a large number of people especially in the city, even members of the royal family.

Why didn't William Shakespeare go to a university?

William Shakespeare likely did not attend university due to his family's financial constraints and the fact that he was required to support them. His father, John Shakespeare, faced economic difficulties, which may have limited William's educational opportunities. Additionally, during the Elizabethan era, formal education was not as accessible, and many successful writers and playwrights were self-taught or educated through local grammar schools. Ultimately, Shakespeare's remarkable literary achievements demonstrate that formal university education was not a prerequisite for his success.

When did William shakespeare attend the local church?

Every Sunday. We know this because it was illegal for people not to go to church unless they were sick or something. William Shakespeare's father John Shakespeare was convicted of doing this, and so was his daughter Susanna, but he himself never was. We can therefore assume that he was a dutiful and regular church attender.
