And people who are experiencing true (not retrograde) SS may not even be aware of it. Just as NMS, but in a slightly different way.
The symptoms overlap in those syndromes a bit.
One entering a true SS if they're aware would know it, high fever and delirium, and exaggerated psychiatric and organic.
If I ever had it, it was so mild as to be sub-clinical and pretty resolvable within days.
