FLU!

(Just to preface, not a professional in any way)

Interestingly enough, the top 3 "side effects" are eerily similar to flu symptoms. Nausea, Stomach Pain, cramps, problems sleeping. And lack of sleep could cause the remaining (inability to think clearly, nightmares, and behaving strangely).

So, I cry foul to the article personally...


However, I'm not a fan of drugs for viruses anyway. They're ineffective and designed to relieve the symptoms, not the cause.


So, my recommendation is to let your daughter decide if it's warranted to take something to ease the symptoms and provide some relief. She should also be mature enough to recognize any side effects.

Every drug on the market, bar none, has the side effects of nausea and vomiting. Period. If you ever get asked a side effect to a drug and you say that you will honestly never be wrong.

That being said, is Tamiflu effective, I don't know. The government thinks it is. Remember also that I can prove just about anything I want if I use the right words and statistics and the internet is full of people who are paranoid and many who are down and out psychopaths (Rand, I withhold judgement, she's my friend.)

If you want to look at health related websites, look for this symbol:

Cerd, thank you! I was hoping for a reply from you. I wasn't so worried about the nausea and vomiting side effects, as I was about the confusion, convulsions etc. She seems fine though. She did fee nauseous but got through it okay.

Thanks again. Let's hope the flu stops with her....

Especially that 100 degree thing. I'd die. But I would take some people with me. >.>
