I'm going to keep this short and to the point as I know you are exhausted and you don't need a long paragraph telling you about fatigue. I will however point out the Red Flags for you so you know exactly when you might need to seek medical advice or come and speak to me about your symptoms.
Red Flags :
Unexplained weight loss / night sweats / prolonged fever / swollen lymph glands which won't go down / neurological issues. These symptoms may potentially indicate a serious underlying condition.
The Ultimate Trusted Support - Homeopathy:
Homeopathy can be a fantastic support to help get you back on your feet after an illness so without further ado, here are my top choices for home prescribing. Look for the blog on Potency and Dose for your dosage and potency but in general when the body is weak we stay low in repeated doses.
Remedies for post influenza / viral / illness / fatigue:
Gelsemium - ongoing chills alternating with flushes of heat, weakness and heaviness.
Phosphoric acid - indifference, weakness, debility, loss of vital fluids, weepy.
China officinalis - sensitive to touch, continued chilliness, desire to stretch weary limbs, worse alternate days, better for changing position.
Kali phos - Gloominess, general weakness, want of nerve power, mental exertion fatigues, anxiety - a feeling of dread.
Arsenicum album - thirsty for cold water in sips, restlessness, extreme fear, oversensitivity, fastidiousness, better for heat.
Pulsatilla -profuse morning sweat, chilly in spots, wants the windows open, dry cough, no thirst or appetite, tearful.
Sulphur -recovers but relapses, has flushes of heat, soles of feet get hot at night, must stick feet out of the bed, hunger at 11am, worse for bathing)
I hope that gives you some remedies to consider, but always remedber to look up the whole remedy picture and match it aw well as you can to your symptoms.
