Hi All,
Well I'm not good today at all. Been to the doctors again today. This sickness and back pain I've been having for the past 2 weeks ain't getting any better after finishing my 2nd course of antibiotics. The doctor today gave me some new medication for my IBS which she thinks may help me. She then asked me to go into the nurse and get a urine sample taken. The nurse tested the urine with a machine thingy and asked me if i'd taken the sample out of the toilet as it was showing up loads of things. Well of course me and my health anxiety went into overdrive. She said it's showing up 2 counts of blood...2 counts of protein and 3 counts of ketones. Now it has to be sent to the lab to "grow" for 2 days. The nurse told me that I musn't be drinking enough as so many things in my urine show dehydration. I guess now it's just a waiting, worrying and generally thinking of all the worst cancers that can be wrong with me. My lovely, adorable, thoughtful husband was so sympathetic. He told me "Mandy your dead if you had the sense to stiffen". I'm so so glad that husbands were invented(NOT)
Thanks again for listening to mental mandy and no doubt i'll keep you up to date on results.
I'm so gonna try and not put my googling glasses on cos Lin would kill me!!!
