Jules get to a+e , don't mess around. This is dangerous for you, you should not be alone. If you go to your doctors about this I think you will be told to go. If you ring 111 they will send an ambulance for you. The sooner you seen the sooner you will be better for your mum coming. They can take bloods and get results straight away. They can do more on the spot there. You can tell the way you wrote the question that you are very unwell. Compared to your normal writing this is bad for you. GET HELP NOW PLEASE. I may be very very wrong but better safe than sorry xxx
Repeated fainting several times a day? I agree - this calls for immediate hospital attention. Don't forget to tell them you're a brain injury survivor.
Candy, I am not alone, my husband is here - will not leave me alone !
The 'pre book' bloods are just tomorrow at my GP, so i shoul be able to chat to the nurse/gp then. Obviously if i get worse my husband will rive me to the new cramlington hospital. I WILL LWT YOU Know how things go tonight
Mind I really don't think this waiting around for blood tests is advisable. For crappy things it's fine but you must remember that you have bi and that changes everything. If your husband say attend a+e don't be so stubborn,,,, go please xx
Hello Jules, I'm new here too. I'm the first one to kick up a fuss at the mere mention of having paramedics called out to me. In this instance, I think you really MUST.I'd be doing it for you given half a chance!
Jules, if I knew where you lived I'd come and give you a boot up the jacksie. Just by the spelling alone, can see you have some thing to worry about. Sorry luv but the old man's right. Get some help. xx
I'm with Moo & others in thinking you should see A&E doctors. But I understand your reluctance ; it's an exhausting place when you're feeling so poorly and, as you have a GP appointment tomorrow maybe you can be excused.
As others have said, be sure to tell them about all your symptoms and their severity. Take care 'til then Jules and please avoid being alone whilst you're feeling so rotten.
Hope you'll get to the bottom of these symptoms and get help soon. Please update us when you're up to it. Lots of love, Cat xxx
