I have heard there is lots of influenza going round at the moment, but as someone who has HA I am constantly worried whether I actually have flu or if my anxiety is causing my symptoms. I don't feel that anxious at the moment, really.
My whole family has it, so I should feel reassured that I'm not alone, but part of me is saying that it will never go and I will get chronic fatigue syndrome as a result of it, or I will just have to live with it for the rest of my life. We have all had it for just over a week now but in my head I've had it for about 3 months and it's more than just transient flu - not anything serious but I'm scared it's not going to get better. I know this is totally irrational.
It's not like classic flu with a cold, but then nobody else in my family has that either. It's more of a blocked sinus type virus which causes really bad fatigue. I feel like I'm walking through syrup and have slight shaking all the time :( I also feel like I have a brick wedged in my head I'm so blocked up! My mum has the exact same symptoms as me, so I know I shouldn't worry but for some reason I am still overthinking this. Ugh.
Anyone else got flu?:shrug:
