Brief Answer:
Post viral syndrome.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome and thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
You and your wife probably had a viral infection which was self limiting and your symptoms are due to a post viral syndrome. There can be tiredness, muscular pains, joint pains, disturbed sleep patterns, poor concentration and headaches as part of this syndrome.
There is no specific therapy. You both should eat wholesome food, do mild to moderate exercise for about 30 minutes a day and do relaxation exercises. You may also take paracetamol for the body ache.
It is not a serious illness but has these lingering symptoms.
Hope you both would get better soon.
