Well I came close to dying, spent 17 days in the hospital. Before I got it I used to feel at least 10 years younger than I am, after I now feel 10 years older than I am. They couldn't determine if I had viral or bacterial, guess that's not uncommon from what they told me, so they treated me for both. I was on 3 different intravenous antibiotics and two antivirals, plus some other stuff, felt like a pin cushion. What they didn't warn me about was that they killed my gut bacteria and my digestive track has never recovered and I have problems still even tho I'm on a very clean diet now with lots of natural probiotics. I've had my heart tested and they say it's good but I have a heavy feeling in my chest, it may be my lungs. One thing I learned is that most people have no idea what real pain is, like when the doctor says on a scale from 1 to 10, I was at 9 to 10 a lot of time and only got down to 5-6 part of the time when the pain killers were in full effect.
