Thanks, Jeroen. Maybe I'll seek Bleauberry's opinion on the matter. The only thing is that I think that I think my fatigue and hypersomnia were most likely brought on by prolonged partial sleep deprivation, which preceded my illness and may have had some effect on my immune system. There's actually some research showing that sleep deprivation and recovery from sleep deprivation can increase white blood cells, but I'm not sure how conclusive the research is, nor am I sure how lasting the elevations in white blood cells can be. My guess would be that Bleauberry would be looking at infections as the culprit, which might conceivably be the case with me, but I tend to think that my symptoms are more related to the prolonged partial sleep deprivation that preceded my illness. I did at one point try a prescribed antibiotic for my symptoms, and it didn't seem to have any effect, but I suppose that there could be differences between antibiotics as far as their effects are concerned.
