hey I had a weird, nasty fly that started 6 days ago. It involved a temp of 103, headache, aches, chills and extreme fatigue. I also experienced an almost inability to walk from one room to another because of immense weakness. Now that I'm almost totally recovered I noticing somethings are off. since the flu ive retained muscle weakness, especially in my arms and shoulders. my legs are weak as well but less so. I also have mild lower back pain. im worried that what i have is guillain barre syndrome. Does anyone else still feel moderate muscle weakness and pain after youve already recovered from a flu or should i be worried?

    i had flu a fee months back, i was in bed for 7 days, barely able to move to go toilet, sounds like youve had the flu, took me 7 weeks to get over it fully, even my taste buds went, not fully returned.
