I hate being sick. Symptoms of the flu include sore throat, fever, headache, muscle ache and soreness, and cough. I had all those and the a few that weren't mentioned including a heightened sense of smell and an inability to get warm. You'd think a heightened sense of smell would make you feel more like a super hero (say... like Daredevil) or pregnant, but with great powers comes whole lot of suckiness. When I leave the house all I smell is car fumes. I'd comment further, but the only thing that comes to mind is "I HATE IT! I HATE IT!" It's disgusting. It makes me want to move to the mountains.
So yeah, I feel warm for the first time in two weeks. I guess that's one of my biggest reliefs. I'd wear three layers to sleep and still wouldn't feel warm. It's numbing really, when all you feel is cold. I'm so glad I'm better.
I also hate sore throats (which is what I started with). It kills me that I'm not allowed to drink things I crave for. No soy milk, orange juice, pineapple juice, juice juice... sigh

Super sorry that you are sick.
I'm going go ahead and be obnoxious, though, and point out that what you described re: a heightened sense of smell and not being able to eat/drink what you crave is EXACTLY what pregnancy is like!
SERIOUSLY. I can smell EVERYTHING. I can smell water boiling and that smell alone makes me feel like puking.
But at least I get a baby out of it.
Hope you feel better!
