Yeah, this was a good idea but I knew from the start where it was going to go so it kind of drew itself straight in that direction instead of exploring before stumbling onto a conclusion. I should try not to post stories that I already know how they'll end.

The specific autoimmune condition I invented for him does not match any documented Muggle one that I found doing research, but it is consistent with what was said about Arthur's healing process after HIS encounter with Nagini, and, considering that it had a magical origin (and he went much longer without treatment than Arthur did), it makes sense that it would not have developed exactly like any of the Muggle conditions and he would be hit more severely than Arthur was.They're experimenting with different combinations of drugs for quite some time, it doesn't make sense to list them all. Nor do I know enough about this branch of medicine to predict which specific drugs would work best on his condition.
