    So weird. She fell asleep for like 3 years and then suddenly one day she just got up and went for a walk. Her husband was understandably concerned. Did they ever disclose what her diagnosis was?

        She wasn’t in a comma, but she also wasn’t just asleep for 3 years. Read the other comments here, she didn’t have the energy to do anything more than stay in bed to sleep and rest for the vast majority of the time.

      She had (and still has) long COVID, which brought on ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) and MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome).
