I remember it well.
The first signs was when I was sitting in a taxi to the airport for a work trip abroad to London.
I remember being annoyed at having a cold for the duration of the trip.
If it had just been a cold, it would have been fine.
It got so bad that at the end of me week there, I couldn't speak.
As I got sicker, I also got a scare that I might have flooded the hotel, which made me worry that I might loose my job.
Anyway, I just got sicker and sicker, I went to the doctors when I got back, and was diagnosed with one sides pneumonia, with an unknown cause.
I got generic penicillin, which I couldn't swallow properly, so I had to dissolve the pill in water and slowly sip it, took an hour or so to get one pill in me.
It got worse to the point I went to the Emergency room in the hospital, and was admitted to the infection clinic, I had to stay for two days.
I got an IV with penicillin and finally started getting better.
My mom got sick at the same time with similar symptoms....
I never conclusively found out what I got, but my mom was diagnosed with Mycoplasma, so I probably got it myself.
I was away from work for a month and a half, and missed almost all of the summer of 2019...
It was terrible.
For anyone curious, I would suggest against trying mycoplasma, it is not a brilliant experience.
