Summary

They described intermittent flu-like symptoms, feeling as if they were coming down with the flu, and said all their blood tests came back normal. After leaving a highly stressful job, their symptoms decreased slightly, though they still felt unwell every now and then; the improvement was only slight and they still occasionally felt like they were getting the flu.

Their path

They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
