I had an interesting experience recently where I was sick with a virus for an entire month, ending up in multiple urgent cares followed by the ER for 24 hours.

They took blood from me seemingly every 10 minutes and ran every test they could and in the end couldn't figure out what it was. The doctors (in a very major hospital in a very major city) didn't even seem surprised, they just shrugged and said I had some unknown virus that they didn't have a test for. The way they acted it seemed like a regular occurrence. Just some mystery virus.

It was just so shocking for me that there could be some virus out there that had me horribly sick for an entire month, much sicker than covid or the flu ever made me, and there's not even a test for it, it's just spreading out there doing its thing. Makes me wonder how little we really know.

I’m not surprised you got sick from something that wasn’t identified before you got better. These things happen all the time.

I would imagine it was a known (or new) virus that would be identified if we had the time and resources. With so much money in pharmaceutical applications I am surprised there is still unsequenced DNA.

Try getting one of three experienced specialists to even test for the #2 most common ailment in their field…

Would be easier to catch oiled seals while blindfolded, in the rain.
