All I know is that I felt like death, took tamiflu and felt manageable. Went to sleep and woke up feeling like death. Took tamiflu and felt decent. The third day was better all day. I’m a believer.
It's hard to say, but I wonder what the marginal difference would have been with and without tamiflu. Seems like the body kicks the flu naturally after a day or two feeling miserable.
I've never had a flu shot and never had the flu. I've dealt with the sinus stuff recently, but tested negative for the flu.
Last year, I had the same stuff, tested negative for the flu, but the doc in a box still treated as if it were the flu. What's the point of testing if you're going to treat it as the flu anyways?

Its perfectly safe, I caution to not follow the latest at home remedy "elderberry syrup" that locals are swearing by. It isn't made the same by any 2 people. has dangerous side effects in some folks, if not cooked and cooled properly can cause bacteria to grow and you end up sicker than you are already with gastro issues on top of the flu. Not only that... "IF" Tamiflu did have a bad side effect you know the company to settle with in a lawsuit. If Your elderberry syrup kills you there is no way to track owner, batches, stores it may be in and who may have bought it and its setting on a shelf waiting to harm the next.
^^ all that came from my local 75 year old doctor that has seen more flu than we can imagine in 50 years o medicine. He also firmly believes Tamiflu helps curve the effect of flu symptoms by about 2 days total. He also believes you can take the flu shot and shove it up your hind end. Every year the chance the flu shot will help that one or two people that may catch the exact replicated strain its meant to prevent is about like hitting 5 out of the 6 powerball numbers any given year and looking back over the life span of flu vaccine shots in america. It has never not one single year had an effect of impact on the overall cases of flu in America as compared per capita...... his words its FKN worthless.

I had the flu and this is what the doctor told me. He offered to write me a prescription for Tamiflu, as it won't *hurt*, but he said more and more studies are coming out showing that it doesn't really do anything that your body isn't already doing.
Someone above said their wife was better in 3 days when she took it. I was better in 3 days when I didn't. So it really is hard to say.

Flu tests are highly inaccurate.
