What Causes Post-Viral Weakness?
Post-viral weakness isn't just "all in your head"; it's a real physiological response.

The immune system works tirelessly to fight off the virus, consuming a vast amount of energy and resources. This intense immune activity can lead to inflammation, cellular damage, and depletion of energy stores. Furthermore, viruses can sometimes directly affect muscle tissue or nerve pathways, contributing to persistent fatigue, muscle aches, and a general feeling of being "run down" that extends long after the initial infection has cleared.
