LJ - thanks for info on the flu meds - my doc had put me on tami-flu - but was 5 days into fever already - yesterday was first day I felt like a had any energy again after 10 days of being sick (had a CT scan yesterday on my guts, some very estoteric bood work I've never heard of - anti-b's for my guts - plus had basic blood done by chance just before I got sick and then again yesterday - havent seen final results of course but the first round of blood showed very high cortisol, low thyroid, creat off, monocytes - not sure what all this will show but see the doc couple days after Christmas to get his take)...... In any case - just seeing the cortisol, thyroid numbers from what I've learned on this site could explain much about the extra exuastion I've been feeling lately - we'll see....

And Melody - yes - I was told to give myself IVIG - unless you get to a very high level of pharm people at a drug plan - they think its a pill or shot you just pick up at the pharmacy.....!
