Post flu fatigue

Caught the flu and took rest for three days in bed. Showed up to work on day 5 (I've recovered from the symptoms for the most part) but was very fatigued and had to take the day off. Wasn't able to think clearly.

Searching online, apparently post flu fatigue can last anywhere from a few months to even a year. That is ridiculous and I don't buy that.

Was wondering if anyone else was down with the flu and how did they manage that. Also, does it really take that long to become functional?

PS: I have a good immune system in general and I'm not used to being sick

Will be getting a COVID test in an hour. Waiting for my blood test results too.

I'm just not used to being sick so this was such a shocker to me.
