Hi everyone,
I am writing this here so that I won't have to repeat several times, and wanted to keep you all in the loop of what is going on.
As you know I was at the ER back on the 17th of July with back pain. At that time they treated the high white blood cell count as a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection or a Kidney Infection). I finished the anitbiotics prescribed on the 17th this past Saturday. But as many of you know, the back pain has continued and I have not been feeling too good.
I had my follow up appointment today. This is the gist of the appointment. My doctor reviewed everything done at the Emergency Room back on July 17th.
He repeated a few tests, and they are still showing that I have a high white blood cell count still and I am dumping a dangerous amount of proteins as well in my urine. Thus he wrote a new antibiotic prescription and is referring me to a Urologist.
He said that because I am a Diabetic, that the diabetes could be the cause for this and all my lower back pain. However, he said the Urologist will do a scope to look at things better and to rule out other potential conditions such as:
Chronic Kidney failure
Heart Disease
Heart Failure
Kidney Infection
Leukemia
Lupus
Hodgkin's Lymphoma (cancer)
and some other conditions as well.
Thus I am waiting on my referral at this point and will start my antibiotics tonight.
Thank you for the love and support to date and I promise that as I learn what is going on, I will keep you all informed.
Hugs n love and deep appreciation,
Leslie
love ya
