Yes I had a bad case of the flu a couple months ago. It revved up my w/d symptoms for a couple weeks after the flu then returned to baseline. This is not unusual as other buddies have reported this after the flu. Hang in there and know it will get better.

how many days did you have the flu? did you gradually get better or  one day things return to normal?

I had the flu for two weeks. It was a bad case because I think it became bronchitis. I heard myself weezing as I tried to fall asleep. I did not go to the doc because I did not want to take a/b's since I get increased w/d from it.  I caught it from my hubby and he had it only for nine days. The third week I was weak and recovering, but I also noticed my w/d was increased for a while. After the third week I started to get some of strength back and slowly the w/d stuff lessened slowly in the next week or so. Hang in, it will get better.
