Thanks for the info about the herbs. I will ask the sister to check the apartment and see what herbal remedies it looks as if Edwarda was trying. Some of the Asian remedies are contaminated. A lot of people got sick several years ago with eosinophilia from a bad batch of supplements from Japan. Muscle weakness was a symptom. When she said abdominal cramps, did she mention diarrhea? Vomiting? How stiff was her neck? Could she bend it? Was this during a phone call, or via PM? SI may be able to call up her PMs, if need be.

I would suggest either a separate thread or a specific person (via PM) to gather all of that info so it can be concisely relayed to the physicians. If she was incoherent when she was admitted, we are the only people who know of the events leading up to it. And those events may hold the key. For my part, I understand that she felt "flu-like" early the week before last, then decided it might be food-poisoning, but later felt it wasn't quite like previous bouts of food poisoning. If everyone she communicated with last week can contribute her descriptions of the symptoms and progress, this could fill in an awfully important gap.
