A member asked:

2 days of extreme fatigue and light flu-like symptoms? what can it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Viral illness: Symptoms like this are not very specific and could represent most anything although flu like symptoms are typically due to viruses. The extreme fatigue part is often related to activation of the immune system.
