Also, I'd strongly suggest taking a closer look at Epstein-Barr. I know most people had it (mononucleosis/kissing disease) but some are way worse affected. It's a herpes virus as well, just sticking around. When I had it, it wasn't half as bad as some class mates but way worse than others. So kinda in between. But the consequences have fucked me up for the last 15 years. My health has never been the same - including the development of long term diagnosed issues.

Yeah, as much as I would tend to agree with the parent comment in their skepticism, after having mono I have to agree with you. Had mono, felt like shit for a few weeks. Was taking painkillers just so I could swallow without feeling like I was trying to eat razor blades. Me before those three weeks and me after is... markedly different. Sure, I don't live the healthiest lifestyle, but I didn't life the healthiest lifestyle before either. I haven't felt rested again since. Whereas I'd previously be up at about 9am every day of my own accord, now I'll sleep until 3 or 4 pm given the chance (i.e., no alarm set). Unless I suddenly aged twenty years in those three weeks, it's a damn big coincidence.
