Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 The slight ammonia smell confirms it is a kidney problem. Is this the same smell one's urine has after eating aspargus???

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 Dear Janet, You said: <<AV tossed.>> ** Great! Now we don't have to worry about you taking a hit of that stuff and turning into a werewolf or something like that ;-) You said: <<Yes, there might be a slight ammonia smaell to my urine which is detectible on close up only. oh yuk, why are body fluids so awful gross???? >> ** LOL, I have this wonderful picture in my head of you bent over the toilet with your head down inside the bowl purposefully sniffing, lifting your head up, saying, " Hmmm... " , with a very serious and thoughtful look on your face, then, being unsure, double-checking. However, this time when you emerge, you have a grossed out look! The slight ammonia smell confirms it is a kidney problem. Seeing as how it began after dinner last night and it is not necessarily an unfamiliar pain, I think we can assume it was the salt or the amount of protein UNLESS you took extra magnesium yesterday or have deprived yourself of enough fluid for a few days. Some HY-C (2 caps 2x today), plenty of water, light on the salt and moderate on the protein should take care of it. You're a real trooper, Janet. I love your willingness to get to the bottom of things (possible pun intended <grin>)! Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 Hi Cathereine; Thanks. No, i wasn't quite that thoroguh. I'm off body fluids as much as possible after my fight for the cap of my tooth. btw i can get a steel cap for about $150 at another good and better dentist imho which will last 3-5 yrs ( which means indefinitely) and as it is a very back tooth who cares? When i become a movie star then i will get all my teeth fixed up so they match or something. Will do on the kidney thing. It was very faint but i'd say it 's probably so. just my hunch. janet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
