Urobilinogen

[NikkiNicole]

Hello everyone.

I always know when I am starting to not feel well because that is when I find myself reading posts on here again. It's like I feel comforted seeing the words of everyone else and knowing I am not alone.

I went and had my quarterly labs today. I haven't been feeling great but I haven't bugged the docs because I am tired of being treated like I am worried for nothing. However, labs were due and I have an appointment with my Rheumy on the 3rd for a check up. I see her every six months even if I am OK. I went in hoping that there would be some indication of why I feel this way. Isn't this always what we want?

So far, I've only received back my urinalysis. I have traces of blood, protein is high (only about 20) and my urobilinogen is high. I'm trying not to worry but ... every time I pee (which is a lot because I drink a gallon of water a day) I feel like I can feel my ovaries. I'm sure it's not them but it feels like there is something pressing on my organs in my lower abdomen. Not like the pain of a UTI, oh no, I know what that feels like. This is internal and painful. If I didn't feel pain like that ... the test result wouldn't bother me. I'll tell my rheumy when I see her, unless she emails me before then. I want to wait and see what all the other tests look like before I start to worry any more.

I hope everyone is well. I've been reading and I am all caught up. Summer has been wickedly hot here in Sonoma County, CA. It's not my favorite. I'm more of a cool weather girl. I have been doing some ancestry stuff and learned so much crazy info about my family. There is a town named after my Great Great Grandfather!!! It's Bagley Minnesota!! I also have the town of Redding, CA named for another Great Great Grandfather. It's been crazy learning all this stuff. I plan on going to visit Bagley since that is the one that is closest to me because my maiden name is Bagley. I also sent them a patch from my sheriffs office where I work because they are sending me a Bagley Police Patch too!

So, that's basically catching up for me. I'll go back to trying not to worry now.

Noticed from fb that you may be burning your candle at both ends again. Take time to be good to you.

Blood in urine is not a good sign. Hope it's nothing serious. You may be drinking too much water. A gallon a day seems like an awful lot. Your body lets you know when it needs hydration.

Good luck!

Ooooooooops ... I read the test wrong. My urobilinogen was normal. I misread the little graph. Still had blood, and still has a lot of protein. I guess I don't have to worry.

I've been doing Ancestry for a couple of years now. Unfortunately I haven't found any related Bagleys in USA, only in UK........however, I'm sure a trip to Melbourne wouldn't hurt, little Sis, just for Bagley research purposes, of course
Yes, for those that don't know, I am also a Bagley.......married into it though
