If they are really painful I would call 111 for advice x
Ok, thanks, didn't know that.....
I think I'm going to have to, hasn't stopped for 24 hours
Yes ibuprofen is really bad for causing stomach ulcers, etc. I imagine if you've had stomach pain you haven't been eating, so unless you've been taking a PPI or something to protect the empty stomach, the continuing pain could have been caused by the ibuprofen. Have you got any Gaviscon? I second calling 111 too, but be prepared for them requesting you go to A&E because they usually do.
Tried Gaviscon, weak tea, what's a PPI? Will they let me go to A&E if I'm infectious? Only confirmed on Tuesday, eldest son brought it home from college last Wednesday, and we've all gone down with it.
what do the cramps feel like? Is it like period? trapped wind? Does your stomach feel hard when you press it? Where are the cramps?e.g Are they right corner, left corner, near your belly button?
Try a hot water bottle on it that might ease it a bit
My sister got her jab this afternoon. She is an NHS hospital doctor. I thought the latest was that the NHS staff weren't getting it yet but it's something to do with her being a doctor on a maternity ward. I will watch her keenly to see how badly her feet swell up, her eyes cloud over like in x-files, or spot the moment when Bill Gates excerts his control!
When are the tiers changing? Were in tier 2 and have something planned for next thursday and I'm worried theyll change before then
My 92 year old Grandma has had her phone call for her vaccination as well she’s getting the first one next week 
Latest news about testing all secondary school children in the worst areas - I work in a school and term ends next Thursday. What a waste of time and money! If they get tested on Monday, results come back on Tues/Weds and then they're off school anyway?! Is it a sly way of making people isolate and not mix over Christmas?
It seems that if you work at a vaccine hub you can get the vaccine. A few ex colleagues have had theirs because the hospital they are at is a hub. At my hospital we can't just access it, it seems they will be inviting us based on risk assessment.
I understand it to be reviewed 16th, announced 17th, effective 19th but I may be wrong
My local paper in North Wales have said they are going to close tomorrow. https://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/secondary-schools-wales-told-close-19435843
The two week firebreaker in Wales must have worked really well, since then they've had to shut pubs early and now close the schools. Who'd have thought that stopping people buying kettles and toasters in the supermarket wouldn't have made any difference.
My worry is England seem like we're always 2 weeks behind Scotland and Wales, so I wonder what will happen after New Years esp with the added Christmas bubbling (which no one I know is sticking to)
I recommend buscopan. I had similar problems in April, along with loss of taste and smell. The stomach problems and vomiting started well after the loss of sense and taste. Luckily I had some on hand but the pharmacist I spoke to confirmed. I recommend some ginger tea as it helps with nausea. My GP told me that he was quite certain it was Covid even though I hadn’t had a test. At that point they were only testing people in hospital.
Covid-19 tests for secondary school pupils in parts of London, Kent and Essex
All 11 to 18-year-olds in the worst-hit areas told to get tested, whether they have symptoms or not.
www.bbc.co.uk
Schools are safe yet highest cause transmission and 10-19 age group hardly likely go pubs
How can you mass test school tier 2 London and not tier 3 Hull Manchester Birmingham Bristol?
Phoned 111, GP phoned back really swiftly. Suggested Biscopam (?), and if things don't improve, after 24 hours, then ring back.
Thank you for your help you lovely Tattlers xx
yes, Buscopan is what I recommended above.
