We didn’t come back from the NASCAR race without a souvenir. Susan came back with the Flu. I am talking serious flu. The doctor said it is the Swine Flu…I thought that was gone. Anyway, they prescribed some high dollar drugs which I bought thinking it would make it all go away. I should know better. I am one that won’t even take an aspirin unless I am really hurting but I wanted her to feel better. Turns out that the major side effect of all 3 meds they prescribed is vomiting. I thought that was what we were trying to stop. For 3 days she could not eat, drink, or sleep because her stomach wouldn’t let her. She finally decided to stop all meds and today she feels much better.
If you get the Flu, don’t let the doctor talk you into paying mega bucks for Tamiflu. It will only make you feel worse.

Sorry to hear bout yer wife a gittin' sick, but thanks fer the good infomation should any of us catch it. Kinda sound like that medicine for the swine flu is a pig in the poke.
ReplyDeleteDan....Hope Susan gets better soon. Wish her well for us...
ReplyDeleteI always thought Tamiflu was supposed to be taken "before" you come down with the flu. Like if you know you've been exposed to the flu but don't have the side effects yet.
ReplyDeleteHope she starts feeling better quick and you won't come down with it.
You can take Tamiflu before hand as a preventative measure but it can also be taken early on after you come down with the flu.
ReplyDeleteAfter Susan stopped taking all the medication prescribed, she finally started feeling better. I seemed to have skated by without getting it. Whew!
