I have found on other websites about how Lex does give flu like symptoms as well. I had mild forms of this too.

> 2. The body reacts to Lex as a pathogen and releases an immune response (fever, histamine, etc.)

But a lot of people on this board have had a similar experience. Why haven't doctors heard of this if it is so common?
