I got it off a soda can from a friend, my sophomore year of college. lurkette, with whom I was frequently and enthusiastically making out at the time, never came down with it.....
It was MISERABLE--I could drag myself awake at about 1:00pm, long enough to stumble to the cafeteria. When I got there I was absolutely starving (literally!) but about two bites into my meal I couldn't eat any more. Then stumble back to my dorm by about 3:00 pm, collapse into bed, and sleep until 1:00 the next afternoon. I understand at one point a party happened around me in our dorm room, which I slept through.
This lasted for about two weeks, sandwiched between about two more weeks of similar but milder symptoms.
