OMG What's Happening.

I thought I had kidney disease, my lab results and everything came back normal but still having symptoms of kidney disease. such as itchy skin, swollen hands and or sometimes feet, foamy urine. I did all blood tests and I 'm not anemic. Please Someone Help me I'm so scared my mom said "no more doctors appointments"

[Pwayman22]

but it feels like Kidney Disesase but my bloodwrok says /No, but my symptoms say yes

[Pwayman22]

But when I went to the doctors which was yesterday I feel like my body went a while without food so it could not prove itself to be "unhealthy." yes a little of it is anxiety but I looked up symptoms of Kidney Disease, and everything relates to me so well, I just can't shake it.

So if I had kidney disease they would definitely have known even if I didn't eat enough to show that at times my urine is foamy. Itchy skin, and swollen hands or feet?

The symptoms come and go, so it does not happen all the time. It mostly happens when I eat a really salty meal. So for now nothing is swollen, except for my eyes but in you can't tell they are swollen I can only feel it. So just to make sure I got ketosix strips from target

Did you get tested for Ferritin ? Liver problems and iron overload can make your skin very itchy....ask your ?GP for a ?Ferritin blood test, they won't do it unless you ask.

I had never heard of it until my son was diagnosed..inherited Heamachromatosis is when your body cannot get rid of excess iron, it collects in your joints, liver etc etc, makes your skin very itchy......diagnosed early, it is easy to treat. It's YOUR BODY NOT YOUR MUMS!

Of course if you do have it, she will have it too but may just be a carrier...you may just be a carrier...jets hope it's nothing but an irritable skin...try E45 Cream, ask your doc fir some.

Good luck.

Do it.

I know but its so hard. But went to the hospital for the last time and they said it sounds like I'm suffering from severe allergies, and so they told me to take a Claritin and it has been working. The only thing that I'm worried about is that my pee is still a little foamy, the signals that indicate we have to pee and or hungry are not as strong, I have confusion, and dizziness if there's a strong smell present, that little area between eye and eyebrow is still a little swollen, and sometimes back pain. Overall these symptoms might be hormone related but not sure. It all started after I took the supplement.

Your GP should be dealing with this problem, if not, not then see somebody else. You can't help worrying about what's wrong, but once you know, you can deal with it.

Be more assertive....it's what the doctors there for.

Wish I could be more help.

I'm sure you get people who say 'mind over matter' but it's your body...not theirs.....your peace of mind.

Good luck.

Yes, I am settling, sometimes I do get that "allergic reaction vibe" coming on, and it freaks me out so much. I need my therapist but she's on vacation. So goldie, I'm not going to die right?
