Deaths show bird flu virus resistant to Tamiflu (poor Rummy)
"A bird flu virus that killed two people in Vietnam is resistant to the drug that health officials are counting on to halt spread of the disease, according to a study released on Wednesday.
"Two new deaths, added to a similar case in October, showed the H5N1 virus was resistant to oseltamivir, sold under the name Tamiflu, according to an article released by the New England Journal of Medicine. "

My name is Maura Logan and i would like to show you my personal experience with Tamiflu.
I am 63 years old. Have been on Tamiflu for 5 days now. Formerly had no negative feelings about "Big Pharmaceutical" but this medication has changed my mind. Definitely needed more extensive testing by the FDA.
I have experienced some of these side effects-
Horrible itching started after 8 pills (fourth day) and has lasted for six more days--and counting. Also suffering insomnia, and mood swings--crying and sour temper. Dr. wasn't even sure I had the flu (headache, severe body ache, exhaustion but no cold symptoms). Med seemed to help, but the after-effects are totally miserable. Hugely expensive med and not worth the risk. Absolutely HATE, HATE, HATE this medication!
I hope this information will be useful to others,
Maura Logan
