Is he maybe still not feeling well? Perhaps something still lingering... it sounds like he is stressed when not with you, almost like he is afraid he is going to get sick more/or again. Perhaps he is associating that sick feeling to you not being there...... both at that age are terrifying.
Maybe sleeping with something of mama's might help? T-shirt, dare I say, pillow (I am quite attached to my pillow, not sure I could share, but if it got me another 30 mins of sleep I would do it)

Is he on any vitamins? it was a long time ago, but I remember my little ones having some liquid vitamins from the health food store, before they could go to the chewables. Maybe reinforcing the " no more sick stuff" or the "keep you strong and healthy" I used the "chase away the sniffles" line, as you give him the vitamins will placebo him enough to help him settle?

Sounds like you have a mama's little one, and while its draining you now, when he is 13 and still wants to hang out with mom, it will be great! So I guess its try anything/everything you can think will work for your situation and hope something works for you!
