Could this be post viral fatigue?

[Thepeopleversuswork]

Have had bad flu (not Covid) which is now into its 12th day. Still totally exhausted, can’t do much without tiring myself out and have a horrendous cough.

I don’t want to be a drama queen about it but this is unheard of for me. A bad cold lasts three to four days maximum. I am going back to work in three days and I simply can’t imagine being well enough to sit at my desk, let alone commute in.

Anyone who’s had post viral fatigue how did it start?

I'd say this is quite normal for proper flu.

I've had the flu that's going around and I'm now two weeks in and finally feeling like I have a little bit more energy. I only left the house for the first time yesterday. It's a nasty virus and it takes time to get over proper flu.
