Starting to feel silly in work now...

[scotty73]

Do you reckon I would be ok to go to after hours down the hospital for this?
Or should I get a day off and go to my surgery?

you should start with your gp and work should be fine with it mate, problem is getting an appointment that suits your day to day routine around work.

Dont leave nothing out when you go to your gp.... hope it's nothing but you cant be to careful i know that all to well.

My surgery won't take appointments in advanced.
You have to phone on the morning you want an appaointment and if you dont get one it's tough

It's the same at my wife and kids surgery up here you have to phone at 8.30am and hope they can fit you in... they obviously dont give a flying fuk if your phoning at that time as a result of having to take a day off to join their poxy lottery... pisses you off dont it.

My advice would be then work, next time the symptons arise then go to hospital after work. Explain to them - could be a case of a few hours sat around. But you need to get checked out mate.

Also take it that you might need to alter your lifestyle and get a better level of fitness, you would feel better for it in yourself!

Considering my cars abit nackered and I now have a day off I booked an appointment with the doctor at 3:40.

Currentley sat on my desk with 2 fans next to me, pulsing headache, blury vision and no energy.

Good for you Sam, time you got it checked.

[scotty73]

Best of luck mate hope its easy to sort and not serious.

So next time i go see my gp i have to confess to being bothered by the twitching in my pants caused by her wearing short skirts everytime i see her?

[Bailes1992]

Just sat in a cold shower for abit to try get my body tempreture down to a suitable level that I can concerntrate on driving
Thats how bad this is getting

[highlander]

You've put this off for far too long Sam!

Oh, and if the NHS docs start telling you they can't find anything wrong, don't accept that as gospel; persistence pays. My Mum practically had to self-diagnose her thyroid problems because the doctors didn't think there was a problem. She's had to become an expert on thyroid conditions.

Bless them, the doctors do help and get you sorted out, but sometimes you need to nudge them in the right direction.

Bloods, Urine and BP on Monday.
Then I won't be able to see him till the 26th June.

And sometime within the next 2-3 weeks I have to have an ultrasound on my testicles

Was kind of hoping he'd give me a note saying light duties in work or something, but theres no part of my job thats light duties.

And sometime within the next 2-3 weeks I have to have an ultrasound on my testicles

I've had loads of them but never on the two veg, not even when i found a lump i just got felt up by a specialist.

One of mine is about the size of my first (not kidding) but the doctor says it's very smooth so unlikley to be anything serious. He thinks it's a Hydrocele or something.
