The Jenova Cells in Cloud's body were what was causing the illness, making him weak, and slowly killing him as his own body tries in vein to fight it off. With his body rid of the Jenova Cells, he is no longer ill, and regains his strength.

So no, the absense made him stronger, not weaker.
Actally, it was the planet seeking to wipe out all of Jenova's genetic remnants that was causing geostigma, as you see in the game and movie, it was Jenova's genetic legacy that gave him his improved strength and allowed him to be physically as powerful as Sephiroth.

Nice try though

And blackmage Nuke, I just assume you were trying to be funny.
