Just Skimmed Through STORMS

I think in her book he was basically sick that one time with the spinal tap (if you don't count throwing up around Dick Clark), but I did find it interesting that outside of the book when asked whether he had mono (and if that's where ISA came from) he said he really didn't have it. He was just sick for a year and the family doctor didn't know what it was and he said it was actually never diagnosed. I thought that was rather weird, for such a young person.

Stevie said Lindsey's father ailed and dwindled away for months before he died. Then his brother died at 45. They don't sound like a healthy bunch of folks.
