I have been unwell for 11 days. First with flu, then simultaneously a stomach bug that I caught from a relative who i had contact with (who i believed had food poisoning).
im fairly certain that i have had 2 different illnesses, as my dh and dc had the flu virus, but minus the gastric symptoms and have recovered in a few days.
i am making such ridiculously small steps each day in terms of my improvement that i am now dreading work on monday. i am so lethargic and weak, but my other symptoms have pretty much gone (despite not eating normally yet).
it would seem so pathetic to remain off work for being 'tired' wouldn't it?
( i haven't yet left the house except to attend a medical appointment).
any experiences of how low it takes to feel normal after symptoms go?
