Perhaps didn't quite make myself clear on this one .. you could get some sort of 'reaction' like shivers, temperature overnight .. like when your baby has their first injections. This is a good sign as body reacting and building up the necessary antibodies in the haemoglobin. Being flat on yer back for a week is not normal and probably psychosomatic.
Just that it is nothing to do with the flu virus becoming active in your body which people believe.
Re. vitamins/herbal remedies .. understand Margaret .. but nothing you cannot get from eating natural foods which contain Vitamin C, and if you feel not eating enough of these, then taking the tablets will not do you any harm.
