......also known as The Common Cold. Common symptoms are sore throat, runny nose, nasal congestion, sneezing and coughing, muscle aches, fatigue, malaise, headaches, muscle weakness, and loss of appetite. Yep, that's it.



Now about this "malaise." def. Malaise is a feeling of general discomfort or uneasiness, an "out of sorts" feeling.

I really couldn't have described it better myself. At this very moment it's raining, well drizzling, outside. I would like nothing better than to walk out of my office, up the stairs (I'm in a basement/1st floor type place), out the doors, past the magnolia tree, and lay down on the sidewalk....just lay there in the rain, students walking all around, just lay there. Malaise.
