Any assistance welcomed
I’ve tried 111 four times over the last 24 hours spending over 6 hours on Hold
I’m Type 1 with a myriad of complications and am suffering from running nose, sneezing, sore throat, coughing and harsh muscle pain - plus I am exhausted!
I can’t get any advice from the GP who just refer me to 111
I have two children and a elderly mum with health conditions
What can i do...????
Thanks
Hi
@Nioami ,
This time of year there are a lot of seasonal colds & flu about.
Now, I have had the flu shot as recomended by my surgery late last year. (Done so for years.) However, it doesn't always stop them but it does lessen the impact & shorten the amount of time fighting it off..
Talking of "seasonals." I'm currently getting over a cold.. & yep, apart from walking the dog in open countryside. I've kept away from others when it came on, just in case.
Flu shot did you have yours? Has your mum had hers? I you both should have been eligible at the local surgury.
@Goonergal 's recomendation of using the 111 "callback service" is a good idea.
OK, so I'm not sure where you are geographically located. Or if you drive? What I am reading is "Drive through COVID 19 test pods" set up in car parks in places like London, Wolverhapton & Devon??? (There was something about it on the news too.)
Guys in white? check via swabbing anyone feeling the have the symptoms..? Prolly early days for this yet.?
What else can I give you. This is new territory for us all.
But alas. Due to the general description of early COVID 19 symptoms, 111 maybe overrun with the basic "lurgey." Hence the delay in response..
Best wishes.
