Mia and both got it, Mia's hit a day before me but mine lasting twice as long. I'm sure for every unfortunate soul who gets this, experiences a different variation, but mine began with chills, then fever, sweats and progressed with an upset stomache (yes, this is a euphemism), nausea, dizziness and lightheadedness (which sent me to the floor one night), body aches, and zero appetite (and for the folks that know me, is a true sign that I'm sick).
In total I was sick about three days and am still feeling a residual impact. Saw one of the local doctors who prescribed me poor tasting medication. Apparently pills are no good, you must dilute powder in to water.
Tomorrow, we're off to Komodo Island for a four-day dive adventure so let's hope were through with illnesses. As a safeguard we were able to get a few extra antibiotics just in case. As another precaution, we're using hand sanitizer after we touch anything (especially money). I generally refuse to use this stuff as it's a promotor of super germs, but I feel that's kind of what I'm up a against.
