What is this strange event about?
Yes, it’s rare and no, the doctors don’t know what causes it and there’s no treatment. After romance, men experience confusion, they can’t speak, read or write coherently, have severe muscle pain throughout their body, extreme fatigue, itchy eyes, fever and flu-like symptoms for about a week. It’s so rare that only 50 cases, all involving men, have been confirmed. The cause of the symptoms might be related to a flood of endorphins, the body’s opioids, that’s released into the bloodstream. This kind of rare and untreatable condition is certain to cause anxiety and depression as a result of feeling hopeless and helpless. The impact on relationships is severe. If you suffer from this condition, be aggressive about pursuing it. Search the National Institutes of Health to explore possible solutions.
