RE:  Christy's question about Tamiflu

Last Spring I caught the flu (this was a bad strain).  I don't know which strain I had as I didn't have the money for further testing and they said to put my money into getting better.  I generally avoid doctors and am not much for medicines.  I was so sick though, I seriously felt like I was going to die.  So I went to Urgent care, that's all I could afford.  They gave me a prescription for Tamiflu and and an antibiotic.  Within a few hours I felt like I wasn't continuing to get worse, but instead a little bit better.  For me, I felt like these two drugs saved my life.  I didn't have any adverse reactions to it.  I don't know how Tamiflu would work though on a healthy person.
