I need y'all's recommendation for a walk in clinic in the KW Atascocita area. I think I have the flu, but I'm not sure. NEED MEDS! I've called all the providers that take my ins, but ya, nothing's available till Tuesday. Emoticon 4951

I had my son in Kingwood Urgent Care (on West Lake Houston), last week. He tested positive for the flu. They are very good there.
 
Liquid Tamiflu is apparently worth more than gold right now, as I paid almost $250 in a co-pay for it.
 
Pill format is running around $130.  Someone here recommended the Good Rx app to price compare around the area.
 
Feel better! 4951

You all do know Tamiflu only cuts off about a day of symptoms only.  It doesn't get rid of the flu.
 
 
@Stealth83: Yup - HOWEVER, I agree with @Fallon - I gave my son the first dose on the afternoon of the day he was diagnosed, a 2nd dose that night... and he was remarkably better by the next morning. To us, it was worth it for the kid who normally runs at 200% and was so sick, he was at about 20%. 4951

@ctl74: Honestly it was not the Tamiflu - it would not have had enough time to work as it is not a quick acting medication.  It simply does not have the components to work that quickly in the human body.
 
I'm glad your son got better - it wasn't because of the Tamiflu.
 
By the way,l if you start Tamiflu any time after 18 hours after the first symptoms present, it is not effective.  If your son was that sick, he was past the point where Tamiflu can even work at the molecular level.
He got better not because of the Tamiflu - but because of his body fighting off the virus.
@Stealth83: So then why do the doctors tell you it has to be taken within the first 48 hours, or else it's not effective?
 
I don't care. Something worked. He's better.
 
And I'd rather not think about the fact that I possibly wasted $250 on something that had no effect on my kid! When you're parent, you don't think that way when your kid is sick and you know that what he has has put others in the hospital or has even had fatal results.
 
Call it hype put on by media, insurance companies, medical industry, whatever. I'm willing to take the chance on myself, but not my child. *shrug* 4951

Well I tried the HEB KW RediClinic. Waited around 30 minutes for them to tell me they don't accept HMOs. 😳
I went to the Walgreens clinic, but they had a 2.5 hour wait. By that point I was so foggy headed & tired, I just came home. Hopefully rest & a weekend off will do the trick. 4951

I really like Medspring. When my friend went in for a bladder infection, the doctor commented on a spot on her hand that she thought nothing of. They told her she needed to see her dermatologist stat. Turns out, they caught a skin cancer and fixed her bladder infection. 4951
