My best friend is 47 and taking interferon for malignant melanoma; 46 more weeks of treatment. She is exhausted, sleeps a lot, has chills, aches, like she has flu and is miserable all the time. Spends most of her time in bed. All of this is expected side effects. So can anyone tell me any little tips or tricks to make her feel better, make life easier, for her since she has so much more to go ?

What Were The Treatments For The Spanish Flu?
September 7th, 2009There was no effective treatment.
Viruses had not been discovered so they did not know that it was an influenza A virus, H1N1 to be specific. They assumed it was a bacteria back then, hence the name of the bacteria Haemophilus influenzae, or H flu, which is a common germ found in respiratory tracts. Antibiotics do nothing for a virus.
Bed rest and treatment for the pneumonia it caused was about all that could be done.
Do I Have A Cold? Flu? What Are Some Treatments?
September 5th, 2009Today, I have been terribly achy. Yesterday I did box squats for track along with other lifts, but coach made us put on extra weight.
I think I’m sick, as I have experience:
Sore throat,
achyness,
coughing, sneezing,
fatigue
I don’t know what’s wrong, and I’m not sure if the soreness is due to the fact that we did extra weight or I’m getting sick. If I am sick, how can I treat it?

Cat Flu Treatments?
August 26th, 2009Hi, all my 4 cats seem to have cat flu. They are sneezing, runny eyes, a bit listless but are still eating, drinking etc. I just wondered what is the best way to treat the cats at home so they get better quickly. Last time my eldest had cat flu 2 years ago i took him the vets but she said there is nothing they can do or give him so really its a wasted trip! They have to be treated at home. So please any advice?
