Now that NHS direct has gone, where can I get symptoms checked on line please?

I have tried google but not exactly what I need.

TIA.

Thank you. I missed those. TBH I sometimes think posters are better placed but I'll give it a go. Thanks again.

Interesting. Blood test says no but on line says yes.

I think I'm going to need to see someone.

Have you tried ringing 111? They'd be able to advise you whether whatever your symptoms are could be managed at home, or pharmacist, or GP, or minor injuries (hopefully not A&E!)

I haven't as I suppose I've not classed myself as ill as I've had the pains for months. I have had a scan which came back ok. If it is something as simple as a food issue I'm not sure why no one has mentioned it but I am thinking that way. I've often had issues after eating bread so avoiding that at the moment plus stopped all fizzy drinks and not having any sweet things. I'm fat too so hopefully weight will come off and I'll feel better. I am seeing the nurse week after next so will ask her then. She's very good so hopefully will help.
