Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Oh Amy, I am so sorry you are feeling poorly too. Not a good way to spend a long weekend. I am glad you got to take a nap before your husband left for work. I am concerned about how you have been doing lately. I think I am about as anxious for your lab results as you are. You take it easy too and feel better. Praying for you too.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Maybe I'm too cautious, but, if it was me, and I had never had bloody urine before, I would be calling my doctor at the very least. Once you know you have it every time you have a cold or something, then you know there's no need to worry about it. But the first time, I would say, calls for some caution. I actually never had visibly bloody urine the entire time I had IgAN (25 or more years). It was always only microscopic. But if it had happened, as I said, the first time, I'm sure I would have consulted with my doctor about it. I wouldn't just assume it's nothing.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 Good luck. I'm pretty sure it won't be anything to be too concerned about, but better safe than sorry. Pierre Re: Not feeling well Pierre - your cautious nature is right on once again. In the back of my mind - I kept thinking " I should call my neph about it - just to be on the safe side " . Will do! Thanks again my friend. Rita Pierre Lachaine > wrote:Maybe I'm too cautious, but, if it was me, and I had never had bloody urine before, I would be calling my doctor at the very least.
