First Officer laid up with Tholian fever. Common symptoms exhibited include: throat irritation, racking cough, compromised sinuses, inflammation and dilation of the sinus capillaries, overt verbosity, tendency towards introspective short story writing, an enhanced craving to drink lemon juice and play video games, mild lethargy, entertainment of delusions of fictional rank and procedure.

In other words, I have the 'flu, a moderate case so far but enough to make me feel sufficiently sub-par, and I tend to word medical reports as... well, Medical Reports.

Self-medicating as necessary with honey, garlic, olive oil, liberal use of lemons and chicken soup, with a rare supplementation with pill-form medication.
