Man, I hear you on that one.
I didn't have a major disease, but a bad reaction to a medication I was on sent me home a semester with a couple withdraw-fails on my transcript. And then I just couldn't get out of that "hole" for the next couple semesters--school + trying out new meds for a chronic migraine problem = GPA sudden death and a couple other semesters where I had to withdraw before they ended.
Luckily, freshman year for me was a 4.0, I never moved beyond "academic probation" or under a 3.0 cum, and I'm headed into what should be my senior year with a 3.27. (I just reached junior status, though.)
Just please for the love of all things holy, don't ask about my in-major GPA!
