I'm sorry you are having to deal with this BF, and I'm sorry that this news came on a Friday and you couldn't see your councilor. This must be very scary
![]() ![]() ![]() I would get the first available appointment with the hospital for the ultrasound. The sooner the doctor has more information, the sooner you will have it, and I think the better off you will be for it, even though you may still need more testing. If they think your kidney problems are med-related, one of your meds may have a track record for causing kidney damage (I'm pretty sure Seroquel doesn't), and that one may need to be discontinued. I would ask the MD to consult my pdoc about any med changes, which I think would be done very carefully, BF ![]() You aren't alone. You are well loved, and we are here for you ![]() ![]() ![]() I'll be thinking of you, and hoping that your test results aren't related to anything serious ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I don't want them to experiment with my medications. That has caused me a lot of suffering in the past, but if they are sure that it could be the medications, I'll have no choice. BF

About 15 or 20 years I had an MD who kept bugging me to see a kidney doctor INSISTED ON IT
I knew it was important but I REALLY could not get to an appointment due to work and sleep and driving. -0-0-0-0-0 Finally (one year?) I went to the appt and saw a Physician Assistant. She wanted a sonogram. She was HORRIBLE at her job. ![]() I never "got around to it" and never had the sonogram. So I do not know what was going on. M |

I would be very scared if there was a possibility my meds would have to be changed, too
![]() ![]() ![]() Whatever's causing your abnormal test results may not be med-related. It may not even be anything significant... But I know that it's very hard not to worry when you don't have any information, and some very scary things are possible ![]() ![]() ![]() I hope you will contact your councilor tomorrow. Until then, hang in there BF ![]() ![]() ![]() BTW, You haven't mentioned your cat lately... is she still hanging out in the kitchen? Could she be of some comfort now? |
