Immune System Response?

Are there any symptoms of an immune system response? I'm trying to figure out if I just have a small flu bug or if I am having some sort of response.

Yesterday I was all stuffy and my sinuses were bothering me, a lot of mucus was coming out of my nose. I also got very tired early on (this has not happened to me in a while) and when I slept over night, I got chills, ache joints, was having a hard time sleeping and my stomach was bothering me. This seemed to last for a couple of hours and I woke up feeling better but with a slight fever. Just want to know if I should be concerned. As far as I know, I was not near anyone with the flu.

What you feel is not the viruses but immune response.....pegintf sides or symptoms of acute infections are not from the viruses but our immune response.
i dont think it is hbv clearance but other infections

Stef, this is what I think too. I wasn't sure though.. my guess is that it's possible I had a 24-48 hour flu bug and now it's being cleared, but I wanted some hope. Keep praying! :)
