Not saying this is how you got it, but hanging in a harness for long periods of time has sometimes resulted in rhabdomyolysis. This is an interesting article that should be of interest to anyone that does vertical ropework:

Wow, RockG - what an awful thing to go through. I remember learning about rhabdo when I was in medical school. It's one of those weird, potentially fatal, conditions that is not common, but not rare, and can occur without warning - sort of like DIC.
What a relief to hear you are on the full(?) road to recovery, and getting back outdoors - rock on!Sonya
