Mycoplasma

I looked on a website about myco and it had some pretty interesting info. Many of you know, I've been struggling with (I'm thinking) kidney and bladder issues.

A lot of symptoms of mycoplasma infections overlap with the symptoms of kidney disease/failure (which is my BIGGEST fear because I have all of the symptoms). Has anyone dealt with this before?

Went to my primary a couple weeks ago, urinalysis showed absolutely nothing except high WBC- which, thanks to Traveler, I now know could be from the Lyme and co. bacteria, but doc prescribed me Cipro for a UTI.

My new symptoms of edema and chest pressure, kidney pain, and extreme fatigue have been added in addition to the frequent urination, occasional night urination, and bubbly, dark urine, sometimes incontinence.

I've had problems with my legs before I was worried about kidneys, including minor swelling and heaviness and a sore, achy feeling.

Could this be kidney disease or myco? Has anyone experienced these infections and has had blood work all come out okay and kidneys have no disease? I hope they're just a little inflamed from the process and can be detoxed back to health. Also hope the other symptoms are from various infections as well.

I know I should be having regular blood work done, but my Lyme doc charges a lot and my PCP is so adamant about not doing it (calling after this post for another appointment and going to request kidney function tests again). If not, I will have to make my way to my LLMD, which I really can't afford.

Also, a little backstory:

I had a wonky urinalysis one time in late January that showed protein and blood and WBC in my urine, but my doc had them do a 24 hour urine test and full blood work up that showed nothing wrong on January 30. All tests were in range.

Didn't go back until recently, where urine showed absolutely no protein or anything besides just some WBC. Took antibiotics for that, didn't feel better though.

He told me to come back if it wasn't fixed, so maybe he will order bloodwork if I come in again. In the meantime, can anyone help me out with myco?

Maybe they were, but the extreme fatigue and chest pressure (now that I think about it), were present before I was diagnosed and then subsided. This disease is so confusing!

Well, a few things here. Chest pressure & extreme fatigue sounds like babesia.

The website you linked (http://www.lyme-symptoms.com/CoInfections.html ; http://www.lyme-symptoms.com/ChronicCoInfectionSymptoms.html ) also lists kidney problems & dark urine under babesia.

Am I missing something? Why do you think it's myco?

Myco is treated similarly to lyme, just a different combo of drugs/herbs.

I am only trying to help but I don't think myco is your issue. You should discuss this with your doctor.

fatigue, chest pressure and dark urine are all pretty standard signs for babesia. there's a good way to test for this symptom just go on a stint of coartem and you'll know very shortly whether you're fighting babesia or not.
