On a scale oh no-oh f***….how screwed am I
(Not looking for medical advice, just trying to see what others think)
Been diagnosed with lupus SLE for a few years. I’m taking HCQ but am awaiting biologics. I have a few other chronic illnesses and a central line so I’ve been iffy about immunosuppressants.
Got the results from a 24hr urine test and I’m not loving all the red. I have minor swelling in face and legs and have a history of urinary retention. My urine smells kinda like chicken broth (gross I know lol). I’m not dehydrated as I get fluids multiple times a week due to not tolerating much by mouth (I have a feeding tube too). But I try to drink as much as I can on top of fluids.
Anyone else have experience with this? I know my results aren’t the highest…..but they’re definitely not low. I’m awaiting to talk with my rheumy this week.
Thank youuuu
