Re: So, who else has got it?
I'm considered to be in a high risk category which is why they gave me the tamiflu, so I suppose I am quite lucky in that way

Tamiflu doesn't cure you, it is supposed to reduce the risk of you getting worse, developing chest problems for example but only if taken within 48hrs of starting symptoms!

You know what? After reading Dorothy's comments about her daughter (and then subsequent ones) I am pretty sure that both my kids have had it too..I seem to have escaped it so far !

Re: So, who else has got it?
actually I have the opposite problem in that I struggle to put on weight, which I need to equalise my kidney function. It's an interesting disease (IgA Nephropathy) which is still relatively new to doctors around the world. There's no cure and all sufferers can do is manage it. So i have to stick to a strict very low protein and high sugar diet. So my diet consists of everything most dieticians warn you off. I have to drink at least a few cans of soft drink a day, as many sugary sweets as I can in a day to just to maintain my weight. People at work just think I have a really bad diet and don't realise I have to eat that sh!t just to survive
