I was ill from May 31st of 2009 until late-December of 2010. Upon my seemingly miraculous recovery, the doctors were still perplexed on what occurred, but came to the very uncertain conclusion that my symptoms were a result of a strange virus in conjunction with unusual side effects from taking a medication for too long and a slight case of small-fiber sensory neuropathy (a possible sighting of anteriovenous malformation or that my brain tumor was completely removed weren't ruled out either).
I've been rather symptom-free for the past year and a half, but there have been two days, yesterday included, where some of the symptoms made their presence known once again. I still don't feel 100% right today, but definitely better than yesterday and since I've overcome this previously, am much more optimistic that I can get through this, regardless of how large a side (or back) step it might be.
On the other side of things, feeling the symptoms again made me wonder what the deal is - if the virus (if that's what it was) is still breathing some life and if that's the case, when it will finally go extinct. It also made me wonder if the AVM or brain tumor were factors for those two years and if this will occur from time to time unless they can get taken care of. It's a scary, almost surreal feeling - deja vu like - when something like this occurs. It's quite an odd sensation to feel and know something is going wrong, yet not completely know what that something is, what can be done about it and if it will go away. I just hope that it was an aberration and doesn't make it's presence known again for some time, if ever.
