T!!

I'm going to send my brother some First Defence too I think .. then that's about all I can do. He'll be fine I guess anyway but best to take precautions cause he has a couple of illnesses though not as bad as mine.

Best to just do what you can.

I have been tempted to buy tamiflu but I don't think I will. Was going to get it in a while back cause it was obvious that a flu pandemic was on the horizon .. a few people I know did but I didn't get round to it. Don't think I'm going to. It has a longish shelf life though there was a rumour going round that it doesn't .. looks like the government were convinced that there was a pandemic on the way too .. they've certainly worked hard at sorting this out .. but the signs were there with the avian flu .. this virus contains particles from various flu sources .. and it's happened.

Don't think I will though. Guess it'll make itself apparent in me one morning and I'll be ordering my tamiflu from the collection point.

Just got over one cold that did make me feel a bit crap but I got over it really well considering all that's going on with me. It was like the first one I had while taking the herbal teas .. felt like I could feel a lid on what was happening. I do wish I knew whether the elderberry stuff would be safe for me. I expect it would because my immune system is suppressed by my meds .. at least I think it's everything .. would have to check that out because I haven't .. means checking out how it works and how the elderberry extract works.

There are a number of things that are said to help .. I expect the people who're interested now are people who were interested before so I'm not really telling them anything new. Some of the herbs work in the same way as tamiflu .. still, those reading, who're interested, most likely know more than I do about that side of things.

I thought getting the name of the remedies up and their contraindications and the usual advice when taking herbal remedies .. ask your doc .. covered it.

But learning about the way they work is interesting too.

There are health shops etc but it doesn't really seem to have much of a following here. But, from what I'm told, it did once .. way back when. But, still, I've managed to find out what I needed to know. But, if you can't find what you want, the net's brilliant.

Will be having another mug tonight.
