Subject: Taking Tamiflu, yes or no?? Mon Aug 17, 2009 1:09 am

I've heard so many people say its malking them fell worse and its not worth it just to get better one day earlier.

I personally so far would not take it and just try ride it out as my body will fight it anyway - but what does everyone else think.

Im getting a little worried now cause a large amount of people i know have had it and obviously with me having my baby girl im really not wanting to get it.

Ciara had tamiflu n i ad relenza-wi bin pregnant.
I would defo advise ppl if kids hav got it n u cant get ther temp dwn giv it em. It was the ONLY thing that workd4her.
Relenza did naf all4me in my opinion so for any fit healthy adult id say dnt bother, but defo4 kids.

Think its a joke al messin u hav2do2 prep it4kids u wd hav thort they wud ov had a kid friendly version by now!

I find the entire swine flu situation to be stupidly out of proportion. I think even normal flu is being diagnosed as swine flu right now and this tamiflu is being given out too easily.

Id be very against tamiflu as i believe it only hinders recovery and i think any major positive effect is likely to be a placebo.

Vaccine is another matter, but yeah id prefer no tamiflu

Well as soon as the vaccine comes out i will be getting Lana in for it as i'd rather be safe than sorry - at least then if i get it my partner and child dont have to go anywhere as she wont be at any risk. Thats the one thing that scares me - being on my own for a week i hate the idea - specially as i get easily scared being on my own lol.

I agree with you though Danial its just not worth it fo the extra day of being ill...
