    I know it’s awful. It takes a long time. The problem is no one can tell you how long it will take. The first time I took it, I had no side effects and in two weeks I felt great, but not this time. Today begins my 24 th week and I have come close to stopping the Flu so many times. I am better but still have a way to go. 

    Good luck with what ever decision you make.
