My neighbour is a nurse, my missus went round to ask her to come and take a look at me, she came round and said straight away "stop taking the tamiflu". I didn't take anymore and binned them there and then. My neighbour told my missus to get some Actifed from the Chemist, off she went to ASDA to get some Actifed. I started taking it and within 4 hours the symptoms were easing, the aching, shaking and sweating had stopped, I could breath better and my nose had stopped leaking like a bursted pipe.

Steer clear of Tamiflu and take Actifed instead, it clears it up twice as fast as Tamiflu.

I was fine with Tamiflu it just depends on the person taking them, a few like yourself have a reaction most people do not, just the way it goes.
