That makes sense. I do drink water all day and night too. Like I said I was trying to avoid feeling the side effects if any during the awake time. I will change it to the am pile of meds. Thank you for saving my bladder!!!

PM is not a good time to take ctx. I was told you have to drink the tons of water and pee every time you feel anything in your bladder (ie, don't just wait for it to be full). Get the ctx out of the bladder as fast as possible.

My first time on ctx I was told to take it in 3 doses (50mg, 3x/day). My Wegs doc here said take it all at once in the morning. My stomach couldn't tolerate it, so then he said split it into 2 or 3 doses. He said it doesn't matter as long as you take the entire dose in one day. The "all in the morning" recommendation is just so you won't be up peeing all night.

Okay, I will not take it tonight and will take it in the am. Just left the prim. docs office with my 14 year old. Flu, swine flu. The high school is making them stay home for the week that they get it regardless for fever gone 24 hours or not. The rest of the school district is going with 24 hours fever free to return to school. My daughter went back today. Now I am in it and a bit scared. There is a clinic thursday afternoon for the vacs but it takes 14 days to work so............how is that going to help me? Not sure once again what to do?

There isn't going to be an easy answer for this. I think you'll have to just make the best decision you can with the facts and info you have, and then don't look back.

That 's what I say instead of F......in sh..........! Changed that after I had my first child. Sorry and I aplogize for the french!!

Just called the RA and asked what do I do? Mask it or leave asap? What I should do? Waiting for the return call.

My doc gave me tamiflu just incase one of my children gets it. I am not even thrilled to take the drug. Just one more pill.

I've never heard of Tamiflu being used as a prophylactic against possible infection. In fact, there is a debate about how effective it is anyway with the possibility of side effects outweighing the benefits.

I have the Tamiflu on hand incase my kids/husband get the H1N1 flu. Of course if I get the H1N1 flu I am suppose to take it within 48 hours. It is suppose to lessen the symptoms of the H1N1 flu. My friends daughter had the H1N1 flu and they put the whole family on it. She said it worked. But it does have alot of side effects.
