Can’t get a doctors appointment for over two weeks. The next available one is the 14th at 2:45pm, but I’m working then. The next available appointment isn’t until the following week, appointments at my GP are given out every Wednesday a week in advance which is fucking ridiculous.

I absolutely need to see a doctor, but I don’t believe it’s serious enough to go to A&E or out of hours.

I’m a registered nurse. There was a sickness bug going about my ward. I did a night shift on Monday the 29th, but had to go home at 2am Tuesday morning because of vomiting and a very painful headache. Felt better for one day, then committed again the following night. I’ve not been the same since. The bug has lasted 1-3 days for everyone else. I’m still incredibly nauseous. I am very tired all the time (I’ve been on night shift past four weeks btw so that’s probs got something to do with it). I had an excruciating headache and full body ache at the start but don’t now. I just get the odd headache every so often. My neck/shoulder are killing me. My stomach is sore, it’s as if I’ve drank hot water, but it feels so much different to regular heart burn. I’m more breathless than usual. I’m so so tired. People keep telling me I’m paler than usual. The main thing that’s bothering me is the nausea. It’s absolutely unbearable. It’s almost 24/7 non stop. It’s affecting my ability to do my job.

I’ve took numerous COVID tests which are all negative.

But I can’t get in to see a doctor? And I don’t qualify for an emergency or triage appointment? And I know for a fact I would either be turned away or wait upwards of 12 hours at A&E.

I have looked for multiple private GP appointments but all either have no availability for weeks or are upwards of £300-£400. I don’t know what to do. I’m at a loss. I can’t take any more time off work but I feel so unbelievably bad.
