I won't have you publicly stoned this time. :)
BG is first to reply on grammar issues.
Anyone can reply (first, or after) on content, the topic being discussed.
But you are correct, we don't want -moH here. We can use -choH, "while we are
sick we become weak". Depending on what you want, you could go without
suffixes, "while we are sick we are weak."
/pujmoH/, the subject causes the object to be weak.
