Summary
Hill 42972 became ill after mono in 2019, with post-viral CFS that gradually turned into ME; they were formally diagnosed in 2021. They had about six months of remission in which they thought they might recover long-term, but a further viral infection ended it and they never bounced back. By January 2026 they had been ill since the original infection, and probable COVID since then had not helped.
