Volkerding's compromised immune system...?

On: Patrick Volkerding Battles Mystery Illness

Let's face it, he caught something WEIRD! The real question is *why*?

Something fragged his immune system. When a person's immune system goes haywire they can catch just about anything. The "popping and draining" that he described is prolly his overclocked lymph nodes.

IANAD, nor do I normally play one on Slashdot but I'd hope that his doc would check for the following:

Lupus
Luekemia

Perhaps other folks, here, know more auto-immune ailments or diseases than I do.

Anyone else think Volkerding ought to fatten up? He sound pretty skinny!

Although, your question was too vague to tell if this is what you had in mind.
