    Oh, I was hoping for a tamiflu prescription. I was hanging out with my family last Saturday, and my brother-in-law came down with symptoms on Sunday. He went to urgent care on Monday, similarly tested negative, but was given a tamiflu script. The script helped him kick it in 2 days. I came down with symptoms on Tuesday and went to urgent care hoping for the same thing, but got nothing. Now I’m on day 6 of being sick but today is the first time I didn’t wake up in a pool of sweat, so that’s good.

    Ibhave two very young children and I wanted to reduce my chances of spreading it to them. One of them is safe so far, but the other, is down for the count. Having to take care of a toddler with the flu while also down with the Flu was something I was trying to avoid. It’s been a tough week.
