I recently went to the doctor because of feeling constantly dizzy with some nausea and some shakiness. My blood test were fine but my urine show a high amount of white blood cells. He said i needed a urine culture and seemed concerned when I told him I had no other symptoms of an UTI. Also I told him that over a year ago when I was pregnant they routinely found white blood cells in my urine with no bacteria but never did anything about it. I have also had chronic flank pain on my right side on and off for over two year. I have frequent urination at night and feel like I can't completely empty my bladder. The doctor said I have to do a urine culture and see my GYN to rule out any infection before he'll send me to a urologist. Although he did not bring up kidney disease I believe that is what he was thinking and I am terrirfied. I'm 32 years old with an 8 year old and an almost 1 year old daughters. The thought of leaving them or being to sick to take care of them is so frightening that I can't even function right now. I know I should try to stay optomistic but I can't help it and I'm really angry because I had been to the er and to see another doctor about the flank pain and they never checked my kidneys. My uncle is awaiting a transplant but I think his kidney problems were cost by diabetes and one grandfather died of some kidney problem before I was born so I don't know all the details, the other grandfather had kidney stones that got infected leading to double heart attacks that killed him. I just really needed to vent and any words of encouragement would be very appreciated right now. God bless those of you who are living with this disease. You are very courageous.
