I was 27 or so, and it started with a urinary tract ifection that I ignored because I could not miss work. It took a week
in the hospital, and more
fainting and a second trip to the hospital before I was diagnosed. I had fainted so much, vomiting, tired, etc... By the time it was diagnosed correctly, I was very sick. After the second week in the hospital, my veins were no good and I almost did not recover. Because of that, I was told that I am more likely to have recurring bouts of it.
