Sorry two threads on flu but different questions!

After the flu has gone how long until you felt you had your stamina back?

@PinkSkies2026 hi dont take this wrong was it real flu? If so it took me a few months to feel better I was 17 at the time healthy before and fit

The current virus, with hacking cough, swollen face and eyes, wheezing and aching lungs.

14 days from the first symptoms to the day I felt like going for a run and my energy was back.

Took me a good 6 weeks after being flat out ill for 2 weeks , week 3 was venturing downstairs to watch a bit of telly. It's worth taking a tonic like Metatone too.

So far I'd say 2 weeks until I feel clear headed. Still got a cough and I'm weary.

I remember i thought i felt a bit better and went to my local shop and was really bad on way home xx

On day 12 here.
Feel much better in the mornings but the cough comes on later and I get tired again.
Have had enough energy to hoover and go for a walk/made mince pies.

Have been off work throughout
