Lengthy recovery: Influenza, if that is what you actually had, can be a devastating illness, with full recovery taking weeks after onset of symptoms. Time should heal this. If it continues much longer, however, see a doctor and get this looked at. Secondary complications do occur, but would wait a little while longer.
