I'm not in the Phoenix area, so I don't really know, but I haven't heard anything from anyone else yet.  Since several of you have had similar symptoms, it does sound as though it might be some kind of virus or perhaps a mild form of the flu.  You might try calling your local health department to see if something is going around.  I hope both you and your wife are feeling better.
