I've been feeling unwell for about a month now and I've been feeling sick, feeling fatigue and my body parts have been sore. I went to the doctors today and they tested my urine they found blood in it I'm on antibiotics for an infection but I've to go back to get my bloods done in 2 weeks.

 

so worried as I lost my dad to cancer at the start of the year and my gran in the middle of the year

 

 

  • Hello Nataliexx20

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been feeling unwell recently. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious having lost both your Dad and Gran recently. 

    It's good to hear that you've already been to your GP and that they've identified you have an infection. Hopefully, over the next few days the antibiotics will kick in and you'll start to feel better but if you're still feeling unwell once you've finished the course then do get back in touch with your GP. 

    Best wishes,
