So I've been posting a lot recently about my anxiety and one of my things at the moment is checking my urine for blood.
I had a test at the GP's last week due to this and they said it was absolutely perfect nothing in there that shouldn't be.
So as it goes with HA I was relieved for all of 5 mins and then started thinking what if that sample was clear but it's there at other times.
I've been having a bit of discomfort after urinating in the urethra area but I go through phases of having this and when my anxiety is high this seems to be something I get. It then disappears for weeks/months etc.
Anyway tonight I go to pee get up to flush the chain and notice that on the pan (not in the urine) there are some red/pink specks which look like blood.
I get into a complete panic and fly downstairs saying to my husband I'm off to the walk in centre as I definitely have blood in the toilet after peeing and he replies "it's brick dust". I look at him bemused and he explains whilst doing some drilling in the bathroom this afternoon there was a lot of brick dust. He said he wiped it all up and flushed it down the toilet but because of how fine it is there must have still been some around the pan as he had done a double take earlier thinking there was some blood in the pan and then remembered all the brick dust that was everywhere.
So I don't know what to do. I've been again and there was no blood anywhere, I also noticed that after I'd been there was no blood on the toilet paper and none in the pan with the urine it was just a couple of spots on the side of the pan.
Part of me wants to dash off and get a check but I'm trying to fight my anxiety and thinking this isn't going to help if I give in again and run off to the walk in centre.
I hate this, any rational person would just think it's brickdust and forget about it.
