Hi, just a post to reply to Molly about blood in urine. I have had this for a good few years... Consistently blood on dipstick... From trace to +++. Turns out I had an inflamed bladder (v common). The inflammation means the blood vessels are near the surface and so some blood cells leak into the urine. The inflammation is often caused by food allergy or mild autoimmune things. The urologist prescribed me over the counter antihistamine (hay fever tablets) which sorted it out within 2 weeks. Obviously you need to be followed up, but just to say it is so often absolutely nothing and easily treatable. After 6 months of antihistamine I am now off and 7 months later still ok!
