Question Holiday travel, record restroom trips

Was on ORD/SAN 555pm A320 last nite, oversold with 62 standbys.
Flight left an hour late due to simple mechanical.
Gal in 3C went to restroom twice before taking off.
After she went to restroom two more times before the FA finished serving drinks, the couple brought up she wasn't feeling well and asked for oxygen.
The FA was great, let the captain know and gave it to her, but didn't help.
At least she didn't eat dinner. The FA was also diligent in washing his hands whenever he came in contact with her, and checking the cleanliness of the restroom.
(Couple in 1C/D asked me if it was appropriate to tip the FA.)
Before the 4.5hr flight was over, she went a dozen times, once back to economy because the flight crew were using the F restroom.
We were warned about fog before taking off, and were redirected to LAX to take buses down to SAN. On landing, I grabbed my carryon and made sure I wasn't on the same bus.

Can't imagine why someone so obviously ill would have taken the flight to begin with.
