Coming from someone who finally got it and who's wife has had it twice - I still agree with you. Aside from it personally feeling unlike any other illness I've had, I have no proof it's anything beyond a weird flu. Who can trust the tests with all that is known?
I still lean toward it being "real", but agree with your second statement.
You also will always think that it's the worst you've felt, even when it isn't. Because in the moment you feel like shit, whereas past experiences being sick are compartmentalized and forgotten.
It's human nature.
I also got pretty damn sick and it sucked, but I've had way worse. Like the Norovirus the four times I've ended up with it.

Well, for me, it was definitely nowhere near the worst I've ever felt. I was still doing my every day thing each day.
