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.
That's my niece's current symptoms. Things she loved to eat before, she can't stand now. Everything tastes nasty and briny. Soup and a little OJ is about it for the last week. No energy and not able to work for over 3 weeks.
