So sorry for you guys, but maybe give this a shot...
Several of us in our church choir picked it up at the same time (we did some caroling at a Nursing home three weeks back on a Wednesday night.) All of us had the same symptoms beginning on Friday. We were all coughing horribly on Saturday with fevers up and down. We all missed Church on Sunday, but one of us went to an urgent care facility Sunday morning. They tested him, and diagnosed him as type A, gave him Tami-flu, and some steroid shots... that evening he was feeling much better, and went to work the next day... I didn't do any of that, took all kinds of over the counter immune boosters, and missed three days work that week, thought I was going to cough up a lung, even while taking double doses of cough syrup. (Actually still have a bit of a cough.) Lost 5 pounds in 5 days, and did not ever have the runs or toss my cookies. Just coughing so bad I could hardly eat.
The moral to the story is if you can get diagnosed, and get some Tami-flu, do so!
