Thanks for the advice. He has not confirmed it is a urinay tract infection, he said there were no casts, or white blood cells and he is sending it off for a culture (it was just a dipstick urine test). I get this about 3 times a year and always have the major body sweats with it and a headache and feel like Im dying. (ok not quite I guess, but bad). This was just my primary care doc. I see my rheumy March 1st and I think its time he runs some bloodwork again, like you said the kidney tests. My rheumy doesn't even know about my blood in the urine cause one doc doesn't seem to talk to the other doc, another all too common problem. Anyway I am taking 1, 1000mg pill a day for 3 days of Ciprofloxacin, hopefully it helps, it is very nauseating. Sheesh, I've had enough of this!
