She felt ingestion most of the time and it take a long time to recover it.

Whenever she overeat, she feel unwell overall and it comes with pains including eye sore, neck muscle pain, stuffy chest and low motivation to work. Her right knee is still hurt and make some funny sound, but she said it’s getting better now and it’s okay to walk a lot about one hour.
