I'm just getting over a nasty virus and feel really worn out. I go to bed early and if I sit down I often fall asleep. I've got a doctor's appointment early next week and until then I would be interested to know if anyone else has had this fatigue after the flu.

Oh yes, post viral is awful. I have had it for ages, wake up feeling dead every morning! don't fight it, rest when you can. Some good advice in these replies, I am taking VitD, and C, and hope soon for real warm sunshine.

when everything aches Falcon, take a break, and remember you are not alone in this.flowers

I had flu over Christmas and it was six weeks before I had the energy to even walk around a supermarket - it was only holding onto the trolley that kept me upright!

I have felt like this since taking chemo and even six months after finishing I was still totally exhausted. The young Dr I saw suspected vitamin D deficiency and did tests and now I am on a course of treatment.
It is important not to self medicate on vitamins as they can accumulate in the body and can cause problems.
