yes neti, worth it if you are like me and mostly live alone. I have had flu twice in my life, first time as a young fit teenager when I had hallucinations with it; second time as a 40 something very fit and healthy. Dh had to go into work (and lets face it I wasn't dying) and I needed the loo. happily we have got a downstairs loo. I managed to walk to the loo and wee but had to crawl back to the sofa and drag myself back onto it because I couldn't stand up. This time, back didn't like the fact that I had to lie on the sofa for most of the days I was unwell, but it was only 3 days of feeling bad and then convalescent. First time it was 4 weeks, then convalescence, second time 2 weeks then convalesence.
having said that I would NEVER advise anyone to have it or not....I will give people information but never advice.
