I had Influenza A June 30 with symptoms resolution in 5-6 days with 10 d course of tamiflu

Oddly, last week after starting to feel a lot better after Ven cessation I developed symptoms and tested positive on a dna amplication test for Influenza A again so back on antivirals

No idea how I got it a second time so soon??!

Sorry for the setback, skipro it can be very demoralizing. However, it also shows me your tenacity with all the beautiful picture you shared this summer, you have a strong will.

It's so hard too try to remember all the places and incidental contacts that may infect. I hope you're better in record time. 🙂

I wonder if taking Tamiflu for the flu is similar to taking Paxlovid for Covid? I’m sorry you have had to go thru it twice. Hang in there - your outdoor adventure days will return!

I took Tamiflu for 10 days the first time and averted getting super ill

I started it again within 1 day of symptoms and got an inhaler and feel like I'm averting getting super ill again!

Thank you
