Guest guest Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 I have mostly been lurking on this group reading the posts and gathering useful information and tips. I was diagnosed with lupus about 9 months ago now. I've been having a really hard time the last few weeks - I started out with 3 1/2 days in the hopital for what I was told was probably a kidney stone followed immediately by an infection during the stay my blood pressure went haywire (I've never had problems before) and has not come down since. I've been going to the Doctor's office so much for them to check the high blood pressure and because they keep finding red cells in my urine specimens. My Rhumey was out of town, but I saw him today and he said the internist was headed in the right direction and they all think I should see a urologist...and so it goes. Anyway I'm just frustrated by the whole thing and sick of visiting the Doctor's office and tired of taking all the meds....prednisone, imuran, salsalate, darvocet and now I'm on my third trial of blood pressure medicine. Thanks for being somewhere that I can unload and get some good advice. Kim T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
