influenza
"Woke up with a slight tickle in my throat. By bedtime had a very sore throat and a cough. Woke up the next day barely able to breathe and hacking up green stuff and a temp, headache. Went to urgent care and tested positive for the flu and a nifty 103 temp. Could barely walk or stand. Doctor had me pop two tylenols while there to get working on my temp along with a 5 day prescription for Tamiflu. 



After the first pill felt slightly better after a few hours. By the next day it really helped lessen the symptoms but it isn't a miracle drug and like any illness it will have to run its course even in a lessened state. 



One side effect for me was a constant bitter taste in my mouth and some foods taste bad and mild diarrhea."
