How to feel better?

[MeiMeiSushi]

I've been feeling literally like death for a week now.

My period came 10 days late which is very usual however I'm 6 months pp and was sterilised so assuming my body might be out of sync or something but since I've started I feel awful.

It's heavier than it usually is to the point I feel faint.

I have a fever every now and then but my vagina feels like it's on fire so assuming I have a UTI.

I'm starving all the bloody time.

Worst of all I have a really bad headache/migraine that won't go away. I can't take anymore painkillers as I've already maxed out from yesterday.

I genuinely just feel like I'm fading away. I'm so unwell I'm dissociating and can't take care of my children properly (I have childcare in place).

I just feel awful. I'm in the bath trying to ease the burning and clean up some of the blood but I don't know how to feel better. I've been up all night so don't fancy going to the doctors today.

Ugh

I'm sorry that you're feeling so ill, but asking a bunch of random Mumsnetters to diagnose/help you rather than go to the GP is daft.

Call your GP surgery - if you can't get an appointment soon, then call 111.

I'd call 111, there are a few things youre saying that are suggesting this might be more serious than you think - especially given potential UTI. With any infection there is a risk of sepsis. If you're getting feelings of impending doom, call 999. Are your hands and feet cold at all?

111 is an hour wait so I'll try again a little bit later.

I'm just tired more than anything I think. I'll have a sleep and if I still have the headache I'll give them a call.

Thank you.

How are you now@MeiMeiSushi ?

@Maraudingmarauders I feel much better thank you.

I spoke to a OOH doctor who advised I should go to A&E for a blood test. Got to A&E nurse said they weren't concerned and to come back for an appointment in 2 hours. Went back and was told it was a further 6 hour wait

So thought as the nurse weren't all that concerned that I should be fine and left.

I've got a sore throat so maybe it was the start of a bug and I was being dramatic haha but honestly today Is the first day I don't need to take painkillers for a headache since Saturday so hopefully I'm over the worse of it.

Thank you for asking :)

@MeiMeiSushi always better to be safe than sorry but I'm so glad you feel like you're on the mend. Some bugs can really floor us!
