Any GPs out there? I don't have one yet and need a bit of advice on the old...you know...

Swine flu - what else?! The NHS Direct symptom check web links aren't working at the mo and I'd rather not add to their workload by calling if I don't have swine flu.

I think what I have is tonsillitis, and certainly I have those lurvely white spots on the back of my tonsils to confirm it. However I also had a wee bit of a tummy bug on Monday, which I killed off nicely with lemon juice and vinegar (grim but effective). I also now feel a wee bit fluish - slightly aching muscles - and also have signs of a developing infection/ tenderness in my soft palate.

When I get tonsillitis I don't usually have any of those symptoms, just the throat stuff. I haven't had a cough or a temperature, though. As I write this sounds more and more unlike swine flu but I'd appreciate your input!

TIA

It's a daft surname for sure. DS2 is Sol. He sounds like a astrologer who drives a truck spray painted with unicorns where he give 'readings'. Poor thing.

A nickname is fine I suppose. But don't legally change it, your name is lovely. but i think i already said that

Goodnight.

Well 20 mins til i go, but goodnight anyway.

Thanks ipirate!

ROFL at astrologer DS!

Don't worry, I won't be doing anything legally to my name. But thanks for your support, anyway. Now be off with you!
