Flu caution

I am the caretaker for my husband who has MS. This week the flu has me down and out. After being prescribed Tamiflu and reading the instructions, I read where it is helpful to those who may have been exposed to the flu but do not yet have symptoms. As a precaution, I asked my husband's general physician to give him a 10-day dose of Tamiflu, which he did. Just sharing information that may be helpful to others and praying that he doesn't come down with the flu.

Sorry to hear that you have the flu. Good idea asking the doctor to prescribe it for your husband. Hoe you feel better soon and your hubby can miss having it.
