Some parts last for weeks
Even though my digestive issues are over, I’m breathing okay, I no longer have body aches, and I can finally walk my dog again without feeling like I might need an ambulance, I still have severe body fatigue and the metal mouth. My friends who’ve had this said that this can last for up to a month. I do not yet wake up ready to take on the day. I more feel like, “Oh no. I have to survive another day.” I have zero get-up-and-go energy. I need to nap – sometimes twice a day – to make it through my tasks. And half the food I eat still smells and tastes like metal. For some reason, only sweet stuff tastes okay to me, and even then, the flavor is still diminished.
