There are different saints for different illnesses, usually dependent upon either what the saint suffered from, or what he has helped with in the past. For instance, St. Teresa of Avila was a tinnitus sufferer her whole life, so she would be a good one to pray for if you have noises in your head.

One thing that is important to keep in mind. God is primarily concerned with your eternal salvation and no saint or no intercession is going to help if a positive answer would be detrimental to your salvation. In most instances, for instance during the Anointing of the Sick, which is a Sacrament established by Jesus for healing, the healing (if you are disposed to it) is interior and that which would help you to attain salvation. Actual physical healing is rare, although there have been some spectacular examples, for instance the healings at Lourdes and Fatima through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin. These healings had to pass the most rigorous tests to make sure that they are miraculous. If there is any chance of a "natural" healing taking place, they are not considered miraculous.
