Made it Through H1N1 Without Drugs
We decided not to give Dillon Tamiflu after testing positive for H1N1. He had one dose in the ER by the doctor and a half hour later was throwing up. He had not been throwing up prior to taking the drug. He is recovering fine by taking a cough medicine and Tylenol to keep his fever down. He had a very bad barking seal cough and trouble breathing which was helped by a breathing treatment (inhaler) only used maybe three times.
I recommend that you do your own research before taking the drug and before getting the flu vaccine. There seems to be little research that has been done on it here in the US. That is a risk I am not willing to expose our family to. Really the symptoms are not that bad and treating with a normal course of rest and lots of fluids has done us all well. Being pregnant is a high risk place to be, but I have gone through it and come out just fine with no drugs.
Research Key Words: SWINE FLU, TAMIFLU, FLU VACCINES and see the different side effects for your self. Don't let anyone tell you that you HAVE to take the medicine or get the vaccine to get through this Swine Flu season.
