Hi eekk,
Have you tried 111 ?
Haha yes they say any bad symptoms stay home good luck and not much they can do.
So if any of you are pondering if to get medical help or not i urge you to do it this very second before uk prime minister gets to his office tomorrow and locks everything down properly.
Get seen as soon as you can
Can you ring your GP in the morning and get their input ?
Cv is in our hospital now and our local surgery has closed suggesting it's very close. However if anyone needs a doc for whatever reason we just phone up and will be advised as to what to do. Can't expect any more than that in these unpresidented circumstances. We have meds which will ease the symptoms of cv if we get it and hubby has plenty of his asthma inhalers and meds for his PMR. Continuing to follow all the advice and won't be going out unless absolutely necessary. We just all need to be sensible going through this trying time..... sing like the Italians ..... stunning 💖

Hi Linda
Thank you and yes I'm fine other than I feel like I've pulled every muscle in my stomach which hopefully will ease over the following days to come.

Hi
I agree with Alf, you could maybe try your GP in the morning. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Thinking of you. Love and hugs Lynne xxxx
Maybe you can think about delaying the drain? I was drained for ascities on a three weekly basis, sometimes I waited longer. A drain comes with an infection risk, I picked up Peritonitis and spent 17 days in isolation.
Best of luck with everything.
Good afternoon eekk,
I do hope you managed to get the help you needed?
As the forum members have suggested, your GP surgery, you liver doctors or NHS111 should be able to facilitate assessment of ascites and need for paracentesis.
Keep us posted,
Take care,

We managed to get him in overnight so pleased.
