I was super sick for about 3 days, then sort of sick for about a week, followed by another week of extreme fatigue. I did not take Tamiflu </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-winter-20142015#post-1993345 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 08:54:05 +0000 matador84 1993345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both my kids had flu over thanksgiving. It was terrible. Could be diff for kids, but our pedi does not recommend tamiflu because it only shortens symptoms 16-20 hours, is very expensive and causes vomiting. Like I said, could be diff for adults than kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-winter-20142015#post-1993340 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 08:50:48 +0000 blackbird 1993340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's contagious for about a week! <a href="http://www.tamiflu.com/hcp/management/hcp_flu_overview.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.tamiflu.com/hcp/management/hcp_flu_overview.jsp</a></p> <p>You should put cans of Lysol in everyone's stockings, lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-winter-20142015#post-1993308 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 07:35:23 +0000 Mamasig 1993308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the flu last year at about 5 months pregnant and took tamiflu. I felt better once I started the medicine but it took a while to feel 100% - maybe like 3 weeks? I think you could still have it at your house, but I would expect DH may not be a huge help. I got tired very easily and just felt run down for a few weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-winter-20142015#post-1993217 Sun, 21 Dec 2014 01:23:38 +0000 birdofafeather 1993217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the flu two years ago at 38w4d. I was in the hospital for a day to be monitored for low fluids, then sent home with tamiflu. Within 24 hours, I was 75% better, by day 3, I was 100%. I ended up giving birth at 39w3d and felt amazing. Just make sure he takes the tamiflu and I'm sure he'll feel fine by Christmas Eve! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-winter-20142015#post-1993170 Sat, 20 Dec 2014 22:42:09 +0000 PointeShoesTutus 1993170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was sick for about a week when I had it last year. BUT I have a compromised immune system so I'm slower to get better/heal. I was given Tamiflu. I was pretty fatigued after maybe 3 days but the Tamiflu helped with my other symptoms. Hope your husband feels better quickly and the flu doesn't ruin Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-winter-20142015#post-1993123 Sat, 20 Dec 2014 21:04:09 +0000 avivoca 1993123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the flu in 2010 the week before Christmas. I had Tamiflu, and while I was well enough to travel to my parents house on Christmas Eve, I still got tired very easily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/flu-winter-20142015#post-1993107 Sat, 20 Dec 2014 20:40:35 +0000 jetsa 1993107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Who's had it this year? Did you get tamiflu and if so how long did the symptoms last? How long are you contagious?</p> <p>DH came down with it yesterday, was diagnosed and got tamiflu today. We're hosting Christmas Eve and Day just wondering how bad he's going to feel and/or if we should cancel but the options to hold it elsewhere are limited. </p>
