Thanks for the update. You’ve been in my thoughts (and nighmares) since Lessig’s tweet. About 10 years ago, I spent several months in the hospital with symptoms identical to those of yours that have been made public. I underwent numerous invasive tests, and the doctors considered a variety of serious potential diagnoses. Eventually, the fevers subsided and the blood work returned to normal. I was released with the final diagnosis “Fever of Unknown Origin.”

As I recall the helpessness and frustration I felt during those months, I find your experiment in crowd-sourcing your diagnosis to be utterly inspiring. I’m glad that it’s helping you to approach a more certain diagnosis, and though I understand you desire for privacy in this matter, I hope that the cat getting out of the bag helps to spread this innovative approach to difficult diagnosis.
