I've been feeling under the weather for almost a week with no progress. Bleh.
Here's a treat for your knowledge and mine from idiomsite.com: "under the weather" is an old sailor phrase. When men were sick, they would rest below deck and thus were literally "under" the weather on deck.
goenglish.com: Being "under the weather" reminds us that a quick change in the weather can affect our health and the way we feel.

Sorry you're not feeling well... no fun.
So true that the weather can affect one's health. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasonal_affective_disorder. I feel it sometimes where I am.
