MudRat:
After an outbreak at work I have now got a 10 day course of tablets, phoned up the NHS helpline and all i got was Crackling!!    :roll: :roll: :roll: :grin: seriously though, i have to take the tablets!

andyhubbard:
Tamiflu at a guess.

MudRat:
yep

dxmedia:
No not at all. They've stopped giving it out up here since it does nothing, and the symptoms are pretty mild anyway.

Had it last week, and apart from 3 days of diaorrea, was just a pita to be honest.  Got it Sunday, buy Friday afternoon I was fine.

Took the missus out too, her symptoms were worse, but still nothing to write home about.  It's a 5 day incubation period, then 5 - 7 days of symptoms, once the symptoms stop your not longer contagious. Wait the first 5 days, nothing happens and you don't have it.

There's a LOT of media bull [!Expletive Deleted!] on the topic, and there's even more people who are world class experts who haven't a clue. NHS direct are very very cool about it all, and local health authorities also very good.

If you do have it, don't go to your doctors, just call instead, they will send someone round to visit.
