That's what my doctor has told me. For real.
It means you have some reserves left for it you get really sick.
Not sure when I related the story. But that 30something woman we know who had it and slept for 2 entire weeks lost 30lbs. She wasn’t overweight to begin with. The only thing she ate was a single can of blackeyed peas her hubby apparently ‘mothered’ her into eating. She’s got to be emaciated heroin addict skinny now.
And she’s not really eating a whole lot because her smell/taste still hasn’t returned over a week since ‘symptoms’ (the tiredness and soreness) disappeared.
I find that concerning. Long term neurological damage is not something to scoff at.
