Symptoms Of Legionnaires Disease

Lethargy

While you are sick, you’re likely to experience lethargy that may continue as you heal. As we mentioned before, your body needs all the energy it can get for the fight against Legionnaires disease. It also needs energy to repair any damage done by the disease or by the symptoms themselves. It will reroute energy from what are considered non-essential functions into your basic bodily functions and the immune response and clean up efforts. Until the body feels those functions are acceptable, it will continue funneling energy away from your other body processes, and the lethargy will persist. You won’t entirely lose the ability to keep your eyes open, but you will find you have much less energy for other things.
