The weird "bug"

Here is what I have and I am getting over and the company man (another canadian) is just starting:
-symptoms which appear and disappear so you think you're better and 10 minutes later you feel awful
- on and off violent headaches, right behind the eyes..in both my case and his case mostly behind the left eye. In my case to the point of bothering my vision.
- very cold and cannot warm up..again on and off
- very achy muscles and joints...mostly on..but sort of on and off and mostly behind the neck and along the spine.
- incredibly tired and need lots of sleep..I mean LOTS
- and the weirdest we both have vivid stressful dreams which we remember very well. Neither one of us usually remember our dreams. In my case the first two days whenever I slept I had the same dream...it was the weirdest thing ever. I would just go to sleep and continue the dream...very weird dream too!

We are comparing notes because I am three days ahead of him on it and he wants to know how it goes next. He laughed at me the first day I told him that I was having the weirdest stressful dreams that I remembered vividly...well, he is not laughing right now! Also I could see that he was thinking "she is just a girl, she does cough or nothing, she has nothing" the day of New Year he did say "You look like shit!"...always a charmer! Well, he is not coughing either! And he looks like he is suffering.
This morning when he got up he came to me and said "I have it beat. I feel great".. I warned him "just wait an hour or so old man!"... It sure came to be true!

We are the only two so far who have this thing...it is the weirdest thing.
I think I have it just about beat...now I feel "normal" for about 3 hours after each sleep, which is a great improvement. He is going home the day after tomorrow and he is starting to plan what muscle relaxant and the likes he wants to keep for the plane ride! Man 9 hours in the plane with this is not going to be fun! that'll teach him for laughing!! Ah ah ah !
