I don't think that what you are describing is the "Atkins flu." The term refers to the relatively minor feeling of being run down that many people experience when they first start induction. It's more like a headache, mental fogginess, and lack of energy. It typically goes away in 3 or 4 days.
Of course, anyone can catch influenza or a headcold at any time, including when they start induction.
It's also a bad allergy season this fall, at least here (New England). Everyone I know seems to be sneezing, drowsy, sore throat, watery eyes, etc., whether they are Atkins dieters or not. I think we just need a hard frost (which would also help with the late foliage this year!)
Hope you feel better soon.
