How we helped when this nomad got a mystery illness in Egypt

was rudely interrupted on my vacation to Egypt by a mystery illness the first week I was there.  I had a fever and rash at first and was initially diagnosed with Chicken Pox.  They sent me to the hospital, where I was then diagnosed with suspected pneumonia.  Later they released me with just a chest infection.
