A bit late, but some explanations from me:

My point about the semblance changing completely was because you indicated in his backstory that he had a healing semblance, that then changed to a disease semblance after the incident. In my mind, this is too much of a switch, even after a personality change.

However, a semblance designed to slow the person down by making them think they have wounds or the like, changing toa semblance that imitates symptoms of a disease are not too disilimar in my mind for the change to have happened. It's more 'change into something along the same lines' than 'change into something the complete opposite'.
