I had the flu a couple of years ago and was so poorly, I couldn't get out of bed for two weeks and took a month to start doing normal things again.n
My appetite went, my body was aching all over (what I imagine it's like when a drug addict comes off drugs ) blocked nose, sore throat like never before, I couldn't even swallow, hot the list goes on.
All I could do is rest and take tablets every four hours although I was having cocodomal two hours later ibuprofen.
I tried to have lots of fluids and had hot water, lemon, honey, cinnamon and coconut oil. Was comforting, I also had night nurse on a night.
Hope you feel better soon but rest rest rest and look after yourself xxxx
