Yes, I lost my smell/taste for a couple days and it's still not back 100% and I have zero energy. Good news, I haven't had a fever in over 24 hours and no significant body aches or headache, so I might be getting over this shit, finally.

So are you taking a lot of fluids? Can you hold down food? What about aspirin or ibuprofen? How are you treating it?

Drinking a lot of water and orange juice. Not doing great on food. I haven't finished a regular sized bowl of noodle soup after 2 days and 4 attempts. I did manage to keep down a little bit of tri-tip, but the dog got the majority of those spoils, along with roasted chicken. I probably eat 5-10 triscuits or wheat thins a day, along with a piece of caramel. I did have an apple yesterday and had some raspberries this morning. It's weird, the things I can taste, or what aspects I can detect. And how I can't taste stuff 100%. I read an article that said I need to really concentrate on pulling up memories of taste to kick it back on. I take whiffs of strong scents (cumin, lemon pine sol, perfume and cinnamon) because that's supposed to help, too. I take tylenol when I feel the headaches, but nothing else for fever reduction because I don't want to give myself false hope that they fevers are gone. Tylenol PM when I'm really fidgety and can't sleep. I'm having "unproductive" coughs but lots of boogies and a few sneezing fits. The tiredness is really annoying though. I start to do stuff around the house, then need to lay down and rest after a few minutes. Really sucks.
 
Oh, I also thought that when I lost my taste/smell, that would be a perfect time for me to finish this disgusting bottle of hennessey that's in my house. put my ass to sleep and I wouldn't even taste it!

:puke: I poured a shot, took a sip and had to spit it out. It was like drinking gasoline.

Damn. Looks like you are stabilizing, though.

Hey- whatever happened with @ukfanfrombirth(cali cat) 's niecphew situation at the holidays? Was it a joke or did someone need to get spanked?

I don't know if it was a joke, or not.
I've heard nothing further.
As long as my nephew or his girlfriend don't bring it up directly to me, well, let's just say I'm not going to call my nephew and be, like, "hey, your dad's girlfriend said your girlfriend is playing games with personal pronouns."
 
It really chaps my hide when i'm trying to unsubscribe from an email list that I never opted into and these bitches are like, "but why?" and then make it mandatory that I fill in a reason. Annoys the shit out of me. Today was San Jose Board of Supervisors, Cindy Chavez. I hope she sees that "I heard you're real rapey. this is why nobody likes you".

"Because I said so" works for me.

And about 24 hours later, gone.

I've used that one plenty, but most times, I get so angry, that I have to put something snarky. Like, "Because fuck you, that's why."

Believe me I feel the same way but I don't want to get dinged for really unprofessional language involving anything work-related.
