Yes, he suffered from Marfans syndrome. That's why his skin looked so "plastic". Joey also had a mental illness called OCD and his eyes were very bad.

There is no evidence that he was ever diagnosed with Marfans syndrome, and he did not suffer from the most important disability related to Marfans which is a very specific heart condition.
