    Post-flu fatigue?

    There's probably not much I can do, but I thought I'd ask. My stupid self kept putting off a flu vaccination, so what do you know, I got the flu. I've got a lingering cough, but what's really bothering me is the fatigue. I have to take a nap every day, in addition to going to bed by 8pm. I can't keep this up; I have so much stuff to do!!

    Is there anything I can do to move this along, or am I stuck?

    I got my ass handed to me by the one-two punch - flu and pneumonia. I had a flu shot (and actually a pneumonia too now that I'm thinking of it), so the flu wasn't horrible. Even over 3 weeks later, I'm exhausted. Like I'm involuntarily falling asleep during nap time and at about 8 or 9. The kitchen is a disaster because I usually do the dishes after dinner. Hang in there - it's no joke! Oh, and I'm still really easily winded - I need a break after going upstairs to get a basket of laundry!

      Oh no!!! I'm so sorry. What a bummer, especially since you've been trying to sell your house!

      I'm shocked by how crappy the aftereffect is.

                  Ugh, that sucks. I've only had the flu twice but remember sleeping for what felt like weeks afterwards!

                  Be gentle with yourself. If no one is vomiting or bleeding and the house isn't flooding or burning, take that nap. You need it!
