| ... how long does it usually take to know if it's really the flu? I have just a clogged nose, scratchy throat (that was the first symptom, Thursday evening), little bit of tiredness -- no aches, no vomiting. I was on a plane Monday, so I'm sure other peoples' germs just swamped me. I am crossing my fingers after hearing some of the flu sufferers' stories here! I did get a flu shot this year. Advil PM is helping me sleep just fine. 2 containers of chicken taco soup in the freezer -- glad they're there! |

| If you can get your doctor to call in tamiflu for you that would be a good idea it will help only if caught in the very first days. If you were on a plane your chances are high it is the flu. I have heard early use of zicam is helpful also. |

| No fever, no aches, sounds like a cold, which you also catch by being in close contact with people on a plane. |

| I agree about it probably being a cold. (And to help you feel better, earlier). o j |

| If you had the flu, you would know it. It hits you hard and takes you down. I had the flu once, when I was in my thirties, and was in the hospital for a week. No doubting what I had. And I am healthy as a horse. Hope your cold goes away soon. |
