Wow, your story is amazing! I'm glad you're doing much better now. I also had a "mystery illness" when I was 20 or 21, but it fortunately didn't land me in the hospital. I was just stuck to the living room couch for several weeks. I was consistently fevered for about a month, and had some lingering, minor side and abdominal pains for a few weeks after that, and then continuing weakness/ fatigue for about 3 or 4 months. I was tested for everything from mono to leukemia to kidney infection. My doctor described it as a "weird virus."
I sometimes worry about a relapse. It's so hard not to know what, exactly, something like that is.
My (then) boyfriend was terrified of this mystery disease and wouldn't even come visit me, even though I was scared because he thought he might get it. Nobody else around me got sick, but that didn't matter. Was anyone afraid to come near you for fear of contracting it?
