First I had bronchitis in December - week before Christmas - Totally wiped me out. Thank goodness I had a 4 day weekend to recoup due to the holidays. Slowly got better from that and was finally feeling more myself and then BAMMM the flu got me. That was three weeks ago and the major symptoms - cough , fever, chills ect. are gone but I cannot seem to shake the weakness, the fatigue and all my muscles all feel bruised. On pain scale - normally I am a 2-3 on an average day in Fibroland but now I am at a 9 and am at my wits end. I am drinking tons of water, green tea, juices. Upped my vitamin intake, eating good ect. Is anyone else here having a problem getting over the flu ? Any suggestions ?

I can relate! At the end of Nov. I got a bad cold. After a couple of weeks, I started to feel better. Then a week later, I got that awful flu, I felt awful! Went to the Dr. and had to get an IV because my blood pressure was 84/44. By Jan. I still wasn’t getting any better. I went back to the Dr. and had to get another IV. So I was sick from Nov. to Jan. I finally started getting back to my old self in Feb. Hang in there, you will get better.

Just so frustrating … been a week since I originally posted and feel no better today than I did that day. I feel so wiped out from doing just little normal things like dishes, laundry, vacuuming ect. I know we have low immune systems and it takes a while to get over things but I have never taken this long to get over a virus before.
