Do I need help this weekend?

[checkmaid]

I have a gp appointment later next week for a range of things (extreme fatigue, aches, yellow poo (!) etc) but today I'm feeling pretty awful - banging headache, generally feeling really down and fed up.

Is there anything a dr at the walk-in could do to help or do I just need to give myself a shake?

Well something is amiss but you can keep hydrated by drinking more if it’s hot or you don’t drink much. That might help your headache.

Sit outside in the fresh air might lift your mood.

Read a feel goodbye book or watch an uplifting film as a distraction to feeling poorly.

Have a pamper session starting g with a bath.

Take nurofen or similar for your headache if your pain is a lot.

Rest take it easy

By yellow poo do you just mean that it’s pale or actually yellow?

Pale might indicate low iron and taking an iron tablet or liquid supplement works very quickly. Might explain your other symptoms.

I have to take iron.

I think it's actual yellow soola- although I'm doubting myself now.

Just had a sleep for 90 minutes and feel as bad/tired as before.

Well I can’t diagnose you but I feel like that if I didn’t take iron.

It’s hereditary for me, my maternal grandmother and my mother were/are iron deficient and I inherited it too.

I’m trying to convince my daughter to have her iron levels checked as she gets tired and bad tempered.

B vitamins are also important.
