    Do not ask for medical advice on NMP!!

    Just a reminder…………………………………….


    There seems to be a lot of people that come on her looking for a medical diagnosis…… 99.9% of people on here are NOT medically trained and CAN NOT give you definitive advice on a medical matters.


    There are many people who come post their test results and expect people to tell them what is wrong with them……this is certainly not fair on other members to be under pressure to ‘diagnose’ someone’s symptoms.


    Even if we were medically trained, NO diagnosis can be made without knowing medical history and a personal appointment with your GP.


    Also remember that no one other than a medical professional can give you a definitive answer on if you can take meds together……


    we may all have advice from our past history and experience… but no one knows your personal medical history so please consult someone medical if you are worried.


    THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE TO THE ADVICE AND DIAGNOSIS GIVEN TO YOU BY A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL


    The NHS is a wonderful resource if used properly….. We may complain about it sometimes but some countries in the world would love what we have in the UK, so use it!


    Here is a quick reminder of a few useful websites and telephone numbers for the UK.........


    http://www.nhs.uk/servicedirectories/Pages/ServiceSearch.aspx - useful site to finding NHS resources in your area….



    NHS Direct – 0845 4647

    NHS 24 (Scotland) – 0845 4242424


    NHS 111 - If you live in County Durham and Darlington, Lancashire (excluding West Lancashire), Lincolnshire, the London boroughs of Croydon and Hillingdon, Luton, North Derbyshire and Nottingham City, or on the Isle of Wight, you can now call 111 when you need medical help fast but it’s not a 999 emergency.
