How long has it taken you to get over the flu?

Now just heading into my third week. First week: high temp, aches and really painful joints, headaches, exhaustion. Week 2: high temp (again!), sore throat, horrendous cough, aches, headaches, aching. Week 3: headaches, sinus pain, sore throat, horrendous cough,tiredness. What next? Can anyone give me hope!

Sorry but I'm the same as you but not as bad. First few days slept, pain from head to toe even my fingers and sore ribs and dreadful nausea. Then the cough started to break and sore chest and due to coughing pulled something in my stomach to the point I had to hold my stomach to cough. Second week really bad cough, splitting headaches, sinus pain and still felt ropey and tired lack of energy to do much. Last week I still had sinus pain, headaches and cough but the fuzzy feeling in my head eased. Hope you start to feel better soon.

Sorry didn't mean to like my own post forgot an extra button has been added when I edited my post.

Hoping I’m over the worst now, just over a week so far, still terrible sore throat, achy joints and pretty exhausted but so much better than I was a week ago.

My face really hurts today though so I’m a little worried about sinus infection as I’ve had this in the past and it was awful.

Years since I was last this ill, hoping it’s years again, this flu knocked me for six.

Hoping to get some sleep tonight after not sleeping at all for a few days as I can’t stop coughing when I lay down. Also today is the first day I’ve eaten anything properly so hoping food and sleep will greatly help recovery now.

Feel for you op, hope you’re over it soon.

Two weeks for me and my temperature finally dropped today. I am still coughing a little and my ears are totally blocked which is frustrating but I am starting to get taste buds back!

I was rough for a week or so over new year then it returned 3 weeks later...

Didn't have flu but certainly felt rough.
One week off work (plus 2 days poorly on holiday and lots of sympathy to my fellow travellers 😷&#128567 one week at work but doing very little (wasn't really I'll enough to just sit on the sofa) and last week just started to feel better and pretty much 100% today- just over 3 weeks after feeling ill.

I found Lemsip capsules fantastic.

Hope u start to feel better soon. Get as much rest as you can.

It was about 3 weeks for me but it didn't help that I had just had new knee op so was suffering pain anyway. The only thing that helped with the dreadful cough was putting Vick on my feet at night, my mum used to do this for us when we were little.

Oh, I feel your pain. I got it over Christmas. I was really unwell for two weeks and began to feel a bit better the third week but still not well enough to go into work (I am never off). Went back to work after three weeks and still felt extremely exhausted at first. It certainly took its toll on me. Unfortunately, it is a case of letting it run its cause. Take care

I started with what I thought was just a cold (man flu) just before xmas... First 2 weeks of January it was definately flu I thought I was mostly over it, when I developed a chest/lung infection with the most awful cough... 2 courses of antibiotics later and I am (touch wood) almost clear of it !
Never been ill like this for so long - I don't like it
