[QUOTE="Star*, post: 228984, member: 4964"] Susie and Jess..... Terribly sorry to hear you are both down with the flu. Here are some things I found out when I got that awful thing a week before my vacation. 1.) The flu is NOT a stomach bug - it's a respitory infection. 2.) There IS now a test for the flu. It takes 20 minutes. 3.) There is now a rapid 5 min. test for strep. 4.) There is a drug out called Tamiflu ($100) with ins. 24 hrs. later you are done with any symptoms (according to my tennis match dr.) 5.) When you are sick you can't overdose on vit. C - it just makes you pee. 6.) Drink a LOT of water. You'll pee out the infection more. 7.) Jess dear - pretend the flu is a turkey and KICK IT's FOWL self out of your system. 8.) Susi - if you are allergic to eggs, or some myacin type drugs or other antibiotics getting the flu shot can cause repsitory distress. (Didn't know that but I've a long list of medications I'm allergic to) I did not get the flu shot. 9.) Thinking of you both. Hugs & Love Star [/QUOTE]
