Flu - when did you get back to normal?

I'm on about day 9 of this horrible flu virus which is going round. Had a couple of days off work last week, completely unable to function. Starting to feel a little better but still got a hacking cough and feel exhausted.

I think I might be trying to do too much but just trying to get back to normal. Today I've cleaned bathrooms, done washing, been for a swim. Got home and feel completely exhausted.

If you've had it, when did you get back to normal? Haven't felt this ill in ages.

Full recovery can take weeks, fatigue can linger so take it really easy.

I think I have it now. Did any of you vomit a few times at the beginning?

Nope, no vomiting.
