    If the healthscare is urgent call NHS direct :) Otherwise insist to see your GP tomorrow - don't let the receptionists try to fob you off! I swear mine are petrfied when I call now after I turned into mummy bear once over them not feeling that my daughter needed to see GP urgently... I disagreed and I was right - at 6 months old she had a UTI and needed antibiotics and I got a little.... direct with them over their "oh it's probably just a bug"... which in their defence the GP thought too and we ended up in A&E eventually and on the childrens ward... she's since had another UTI and now if I call and say she has a temp I get an appointment without having to be "triaged" by their nurse... So stick to your guns! If you are worried by it with everything else going on... tell them you WANT to see a GP and if needed turn up at the surgery and smile and say sweetly you'll wait to see a GP thanks all the same! :P

    Chin up :)

  • I'm sure it will be nothing, but I have to look after myself now.

    As hard as I thought it was going to be, I'm getting used to being on my own, and quite liking it.

    Yes, it's important to take extra good care of yourself when you have so much on your plate. How are things with your parents? Any better?

  • Yeah things are ok with parents. They are just worried about me and upset for me, but they know I'm strong and can get through anything.

    Hi
    Glad to hear you are so upbeat and I hope the health problem is something minor. Sometimes when we are under pressure our body throws a wobbly and you have had a lot to cope with recently.
    Keep your chin up, and keep posting as we all want to hear about Hawaii when you go!
    On the money front try speaking to your employer and ask if they could either pay your wage to a different account or ask them for a cheque.
    Find out who you are and do that on purpose (thanks to Owain Wyn Jones quoting Dolly Parton)
