I was pretty run down prior to getting ES, although I suppose I may
have been coming down with ES slowly over the course of a year. First
I got sinus infections, which led to months of antibiotics. One
of the antibiotics triggered chemical sensitivities. The ES got
really bad later on a 2 week business trip with a laptop (which on one
night I fell asleep with it turned on sitting next to me all night
-- plugged in, without any timed shutdown).

Curiously, after becoming bedridden with flu-like symptoms, I noticed
that antibiotics actually helped my ES symptoms. However, I was
clearly dealing with some fungal issues, and the antibiotics were
making things worse in general, so I stopped them.
