Good morning,Iam so sorry to hear this.I had my jab Yesturday.You need to get yourself to your g.p if possible as you may well have an infection rather than the flu itself.Ring up and ask for an emergency appointment xx

Hi again,yes I agree.Iam home alone all the time as Iam a single mum and my kids are at school during the day.But nowadays I just want to be alone when Iam ill,probably cos of the depression which isolates you :( I've also recently been given anti sickness tabs and they work well.Hope you feel better soon xxx

Poor you Wall, I hope that the antibiotics and anti-nausea meds work, I hope you have someone who can pick them up for you.

I am alone too, but that's my choice, actually, I've just been told off, I have my two doglets, (and they are very opinionated !) so I'm not alone but I

do understand where you're coming from. I really hope you start to feel better very soon :-)

That's great wall, how convenient, wish we had that here, but ours is a very small country village ! I'm sure your dogs know how you are feeling, my previous jr saved my life as she woke me when I was haemorrhaging post op, she nipped me under my eyes til I came to, I have a blood disorder similar to haemophilia and the paramedics said had I bled for half an hour more I wouldn't have made it, so Gertie was one tremendous little doglet !! They can diagnose things like cancer too, it's incredible. I'm glad they keep you company anyway and I hope you start to improve soon :-)
