Pretty sure a combo of poor eating habits, years of prior substance abuse and running inhumane hours on my workstation is the root. I prefer to follow the school of biology where most disease is caused by microorganisms, viruses or environmental factors, all enhanced by stress or lack thereof.

Nah, I appreciate the concern and help man. I know your intentions are true.

Had similar issues a few years back and needed some IV antibiotics for a few weeks.. I suspect that it's the same bug that was laying dormant after almost getting wiped out by IV treatment, but then me pushing myself to much has allowed it to have a round 2.

While I cannot deny that the spirit has some role in our physical health, a spiritually and emotionally feral forest sprite like myself already runs a pretty absurd(un)balancing act gauntlet just to get up out of bed every morning.. Good old bipolarism. :D
