Props to my doc!!!!
Home sick from work today,(wife's birthday no less
 ) with a touch of the flu,(just the plain old flu not hamthrax).Fari had to go to the doc for a t.b. shot,(mandatory in her line of work) and she mentioned to the doc,(we have the same one) how I felt. Doc asks her a few questions and scribbles out a perscription. When she got to the pharmacy the doc had called ahead to make sure they had it in stock and the pharmacy had already called my insurance company and already had the paperwork ready so it was all covered. Wow,talk about service. Something called 'Tamiflu',I already feel better. Which mean back to work tomorrow. Still I'd rather be frustrated at work than sick at home.

Re: Props to my doc!!!!
I thought tamiflu is specifically for hamthrax. I'll have to look it up
edit: looks like it treats the common flu as well. Get well soon!!! |

Re: Props to my doc!!!!
I read the little paper inside the box.
It says to start taking it within 2 days of the first flu symptoms. Apparently it slows down some enzyme that spreads the virus. Hamthrax is a form of influenza and Tamiflu is a general pill to help you feel better specifically for the flu.

lol @ Hamthrax.
btw, Tamiflu does nothing to prevent or improve H1N1 ... only the seasonal flu. Source: pharmacist wife. See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oseltam...28swine.29_flu

Re: Props to my doc!!!!
Remember when bird flu was the big concern? That's when I first heard about Tamiflu.

Re: Props to my doc!!!!
I heard on the news tonight that there is a shortage of Tamiflu. Some pharmacies have to mix it their self from various ingredients that make the stuff up.
