My wife and I both currently have the flu (she was tested, and came up negative!). She’s on Tamiflu, I started it Friday night, so I’ve just been toughing it out. This is a really nasty strain- I’ve never had anything take me out of action like this.
Hope you are feeling better soon! I mentioned I was an RN. I have never seen this many flu positive cases. At one point last week, a quarter of our unit were droplet precautions rooms for flu patients. Most of the patients I’ve taken care of feel next to death. I had one guy that broke down crying because of the pain and the energy it took just to get to a bedside chair. Fortunately, almost all have recovered, a couple have required a ventilator and a stay on the ICU.
Tamiflu works ok, but it seems like you literally have to take at the very initial onset of symptoms to obtain any benefit.
Get better soon u guys.
Same here. My wife had the vaccine and was over it in 2 days. I am on day 7 and just now getting back to halfway feeling good. Still hacking up stuff.
I can’t remember ever being that sick or feeling that miserable. It’s knocked out 50% of our shop floor personnel.
