It's not something you recover quickly from :(
Fully recovered. Felt like shit for about a year after from losing so much weight, and being stuck in a room alone for 3 months probably didn’t help much.Wouldn’t be surprised if it broke something that shows up later but so far everything is fine 8 years on.Only chronic symptom so far is I got into functional programming while quarantined and it stuck, so maybe it’s a sign of mental illness.
Any permanent damage? Or did you make a full recovery?
Sorry to hear about what you went through. Any tips about how you recovered, or what you would have done differently?
Healthy recovery of my close relative
Thanks for sharing your experience. I hope you fully recovered.
It is something terrible, and really scary. My best friend at the time suffered one at 23 years old. He eventually recovered but he suffered a huge loss of concentration capabilities and had to drop from college eventually. He also fought with speech impairment for many years but with a lot of training he was able to recover 99% of it.
Count your friends and loved ones lucky in that sense. It certainly happened to me and am still recovering from it 2 years later.
Wow, is it really permanent? I thought most people get it back eventually. I lost and recovered mine after covid
I assume you mean experienced -- what did you do to recover? Sounds like it was temporary?
