Thank you for the suggestion though. I took Tamiflu once when I had the flu and I think it helped a little. We are having a large flu outbreak here too. So many are sick. We did get the flu shot too - you just never know if it will be the right one for the strain of flu.<br /><br />Thank you for your kind words!Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17738727252267659979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1275748724238579274.post-92194331544994055072020-01-29T20:40:29.704-06:002020-01-29T20:40:29.704-06:00Thank you, that is excellant advice.

I've heard that if you catch the virus early enough they can administer that and it will drastically shorten the duration of the flu. Sometimes it's not available though, especially when there are big outbreaks like we're having now all over the country. South Carolina has been well above average in number of cases and our local hospitals are full to overflowing. I took a flu shot back in October and am crossing my fingers that I don't catch another strain of it.<br /><br />Homemade chicken soup is a wonder drug! I sure hope Tom is better soon. He will need extra care for a while, though. The flu can really take it out of a person!

I was the same and I found (friend's advice) I was putting too much liquid in (none can escape in the form of steam.) A good idea if you are making a casserole is to put in no liquid but add a tin of chopped tomatoesThe Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1275748724238579274.post-27167647719219274862020-01-29T10:44:42.363-06:002020-01-29T10:44:42.363-06:00Thank you Simone.
