What did the doc say about your kidneys?
Re: moo
She seems to think there is damage, so she put me on some medication and I have a follow-up in mid-September to get some more blood work/pee testing done. I'm still clinging to my theory, as stupid and naive as it sounds, so I'm just going to take the meds and see what happens in September. If my levels are normal, I'll assume I was correct. She did take another sample, but it was for different reasons, so I dunno if the tests will be run again.
Now for the fun part! She prescribed me an ACE inhibitor, which is generally used for high blood pressure. I have low blood pressure. At around 7pm my phone rings and it's my doctor in a tizzy because the pharmacy gave me twice the dose she intended to dispense (the pharmacy is in the same building as the doctor and is associated with the practice) and had I taken it yet?? Fortunately, I had not, as I would probably be unconscious. Medicine is fun!
Thanks for asking.
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
Dude, what the eff is up with your doc's office building?
I hope everything gets sorted out soon.
When i was with them before, they were fantastic and I know a lot of people who use this group and are very happy. I think I've just been a comedy of errors here. Most likely because the doctor knows I'm a trainwreck who has irreparably effed up her life and wants to have a little fun at my expense.
New update. She did run the same test again on yesterday's sample and it's reported in the same units so I'm letting go of that theory. HOWEVER, the amount of protein is WAY down. Like, half what it was, without me doing anything. So there may be something else going on.

For less then ten cents a day, you can feed a hungry child.

I'm sorry about your medical enigmas, Moo.

I'm sorry you have weird pee Moo. At least they caught the medicine issue before you took it. I have low blood pressure too, and the neurologist I saw for headaches a little bit ago was going to prescribe me some sort of blood pressure lowering medication that had the side effect of fixing migraines. I was glad the migraines stopped, because I was a little frightened of what would happen on this medicine. (Another reason I didn't like that neurologist - he was all, "well, I'm sure your low blood pressure issues are just related to the headaches," even though I told him I've been having problems with blood pressure since I was like, 10, and I didn't get my first migraine until I was 18.)
The Poo family is quite attractive! That's a really great picture.
Dudes, why can't I see the Poo picture?
I'm sorry about your urine, Moo.
