Since last Friday I was in bed till this Thursday with all the symptoms described by Peter J. My wife and our oldest daughter who was visiting us over Xmas days as well.
The high temperature, chills, freeze and dry chesty and whisteling cough was not enjoyable but even not the worst symptom. I never before had experienced when dealing with a flu or just temperature that I have no appetite at all and up to now.
When I try to eat something it tastes much too salty and the whole taste sensoring mechanism is confused. Nothing of the kind of food which I like most normally tastes any good, the opposite is the case. Plus I like no beer or wine or coffee at the moment, only a whisky in the evening tastes as it should.
