Tamiflu, or wait it out?
#19090205 - 11/05/13 01:37 PM (10 years, 2 months ago) |

So i managed to catch the flu from a family member over the weekend. Started feeling it yesterday, and felt it progress significantly throughout the night. Waking up in cold sweats, feeling as if my legs, and arms had been abused every 30 minutes. SO i ask you shroomery, is it best to just wait a flu out, or go with something like Oseltamivir?

i usually waited it out, unless it gets serious. use disinfection wipes on everything you touch, door knobs, light switches etc., etc.. try not stay in one place for too long. drink lots of warm water, shower daily, and stay away from anything cold even if its just alittle cold. getting a bit of fresh air every now and then helps too as long as it isn't too cold.

I would use Tamiflu - but it has to be used ASAP to be effective. Sorry to hear you are unwell Legend! The flu sucks

not only does it prevent more viruses from entering, but it also helps from getting others sick.

I can get the helping others part even tho its not related to my particular question.
I don't think the first part is a particularly valid argument tho, if you were correct then extracting more viruses from your body would have had a significant impact on your improvement progress.
I haven't done the maths but I feel that the amount you excrete from your body would be insignificantly small to the total pool of actively produced viruses.

thanks guys! i haven't had the flu in years, it really does suck. I'd take this over bronchitis though. Im just a bit hesitant to taking tamiflu, since that drug is very new to me. i hear it's helpful as long as it hasn't been 3 days since symptom started.
So far kratom, dxm, weed, and tylenol has helped tremendously.

I don't know but speaking strictly from a chemical point of view a certain dose might have a stronger effect when the level of its viral target (i.e. neuraminidase) is lower.

I got the flu last year and after a couple of days headed to the doctor to get Tamiflu. It worked very very fast, 36-48 hours later and I felt well enough to get on with my life(which was important cuz I got it right at the start of my spring semester).
Go get it, you might have some of that residual 'ick' feeling for a little while as with anytime you get the flu, but it'll pretty much make you feel better after the first day, even.

If you have any IV bags load yourself up. Keeping hydrated is important.

Because staying hydrated is important no matter what the illness is. If you actually have influenza, keeping down liquids and solids can be a lot of work.
