Yes Falconbird i was actually quite scared by the fatigue, but was reassured to find that other people recovering from the flu felt the same way. With swanny's advice i am sure you will feel better soon. Take care of yourself. smile

Oh yes Falconbird and at the time it can feel as debilitating as the flu itself! Your brain is telling you you're over it but your body doesn't agree. Your immune system has taken a bashing fighting the flu, so it needs building up again. Little and often with nutritious food and activities in small doses too. Keep warm and sleep whenever possible flowers and brew

I'm just getting over a nasty virus and feel really worn out. I go to bed early and if I sit down I often fall asleep. I've got a doctor's appointment early next week and until then I would be interested to know if anyone else has had this fatigue after the flu.
