Hey, it's OK, I'm hearing it in my head with a Scottish accent, so it fits, .
I wonder if your mum or anyone involved in that outbreak ever found out what the virus was. It must have had long-term consequences for more than one person! Some people here have had their illness triggered by the Hep B vaccine or a Hep B infection. Or by the live polio vaccine, which was still in use at the turn of the century in the U.S.
Lol sorry just very bad at moment due to westher etc, brains in low gear
Honestly no idea what it may have been beyond "meningitis" which is actually a pretty broad brush as it was just what we ordinary folks knew
I've got herpes as had that since kid (cold sores),
that bout of "mengi-whatever-the-effski" ,
and then just before I came down with M.E. there was toxic damp proofing put down in our house made me and workmen dreadfully ill but we couldnt afford to move out or get it chemically tested or whatever so maybe an organophosphate (was meant to kill mould and be a sealant)
And same time as dam proofing almost damn ans y flublike bug swept region and I got it
Plus dad was probably bringing in radium from his factory on his clothing, which is horribly nasty stuff
I got poisoned by weedkiller as toddler (copper sulphate, moss killer, acts as corrosive in soft wet tissue, burned my insides to hell) and my entire area is terribly polluted by heavy metals
So I often think these kind of illnesses we suffer may have such variety as it's mix of some underlying base, retrovirus or genetics that predispose
Then complex stew of things over years triggering "M.E.", immune system jammed partially on the ON switch
Variations in the stew and person giving variations in the outcome.
Interesting stuff if we didnt suffer it, lol
