The Amazon page for the book doesn't describe her getting any of the sort of very specific delusions described in the OP though, just general debilitation and paradoxical feelings of euphoria.

It's the closest we're likely to get, though, given the rarity of both neurologists and anosognosias.

I might. Anybody got $20,000,000?

Well, if we're going there I'll do it for $10M.
