I was sick for 14 days

What a boring and terrible time.

I was sick with influenza for 14 days, longest sickness of my life. I just recovered to go back to work yesterday. Migraines every day and temperature ping-ponging between 35.3 and 38.1. I couldn't focus at work and also couldn't work on any home projects. For some of the worst days I just had to be a vegetable in front of the TV or in bed.

My body still isn't back to 100% yet and I still wake up covered in sweat multiple times per night.

Sounds more like covid than flu, based on my experience with covid being just like that. Fever, headache, brain fog, long term

Oof. I'm glad you're getting better. That sounds rough. Don't overdo it back at work.
