Daily Health

We are a family of eight, and we interact with people, the people do, and exposing themselves to bacteria and viruses every day in the event. We catch up with the cold and stomach bug, but in the four years since we moved here, and no one has been properly influenza.

We do not feel that we either elderly or infirm, as evidenced by a flu vaccine every year so that’s not the end of it. It just does not catch up with us - knock on wood!

Now - some people might say, knock wood is not enough. There is a preventive drug in the market, this will also reduce the severity of influenza, if you have already found. This vaccine is a kind of gambling - different strain of the virus each year, although doctors and researchers usually manage to hit the right vaccine, there is no guarantee. Tamiflu
is effective regardless. If used properly, it has a double effect: not only can prevent influenza infection fighting.

I first heard of Tamiflu
, a few years ago, in the avian flu panic. My father, who is a medical doctor, with the prescription to all of us. He said that Tamiflu is the only effective drug for bird flu, and there is a tragic shortage of it in the case of epidemic / pandemic situation. There are no problems, but not enough to walk. He wanted me to buy it for all of us, therefore, we need to from the older to be prepared. Many people did not - I did not.

I do not know what I will do when it happens again, I am confident that it will. It depends on the seriousness of the situation, I guess. If the affected person because you and I bailiffs to drugs - just in case? Difficult, unfortunately, is very simple: you save your family first…

As for the “normal” influenza… if I was an old person, or suffering from any disease, has also weakened their immune system, I will not hesitate to use preventive Tamiflu in a “flu season.”
Normal, healthy people have more choices. I tend to think that, “Whatever does not kill you, make you stronger”, and an influenza will not kill you. I will, we may require a doctor’s prescription, if someone affected, although. If it can help Whoever is sick feel better soon, but of course I will use it.
