...while I was in a foreign country. I didn't know the medical system, I didn't know the language well, I thought that I was having a stroke, and I had the worst ear infection of my life at the same time. It took about two to three weeks to recover, and it was one of the most miserable times of my life.
I'm sorry about having a lack of sympathy about your situation, LW, especially since it seems like this is just a "straw that broke the camel's back" situation. But look, no one "deserves" a disease. Just grit your teeth, deal with it, and get through it. And look long and hard at the way that you deal with stress, because if something small like this pushes you over the edge, you're going to have some severe problems if anything major were to ever come up.
