I don’t know what we all had. I posted about it in one of my threads.
First mom got sick. But she didn’t throw up or seem sick as I know sick. It didn’t seem like any normal bug or flu. It presented as something with neurological aspects.
First, she was very confused AND could not get her muscles to work in arms and legs. I kept trying to get her up but she was dead weight and not able to use a single bit of muscle to help. I was pretty certain she might have had a TIA.
Over the course of two days, I called paramedics twice because I couldn’t get her up. But both times, by the time they arrived, she was able to use her muscles a little bit, anll vitals were fine, her confusion was totally gone and she knew where she was, just a little shaky. No one but me ever saw her confused fugue states. Even my sister never got here in time to see one. She regained her muscles after about 48 hours, (mostly), ate very little and slept about two weeks.
Maybe a week after mom got sick, I got a call from my niece. Her mom (my sis) had come home and was confused and not making sense. Some family she recognized, and others she didn’t know who they were. Like literally was like, I don’t know you, who are you? And she had such weakness in her legs they had to carry her up two steps to a chair. Was dizzy too. So they called an ambulance. But by the time they arrived, she knew who everyone was and could walk again.
Before that, I had finally chalked my mom up to some sort of flu thing but just more severe than I’d ever seen since she’s almost 80. But my sister is not 80 and it hit her weird too.
I got sick but didn’t hit me hard. Just a little dizziness and fatigue.
weird, huh?
