Convinced my self I have lupus? Please read and help

[Briannafaye1]

Been making my self sick and worried causing my anxiety to really atteck me . I have blood in the urine that I can’t even see but it’s their when the doctor texts it , I have back spasms all the time that’s been their since I was 15 , but the blood in the urine just came up tested almost 2 years now . I’ve been driving my self crazy just googling stuff now and thinking I have lupus, I have to wait till January to see a kidney specialist and see what’s going on because I already got a CT done & camera into the bladder everything came back normal but still blood in the urine , I’m only 21 and have a toddler and this is really effecting me and making my anxiety worse not knowing what’s really going on :’(

I really need someone to talk to with someone who had the same thing !! 😢😢

Are you a Selena Gomez fan ?

[Briannafaye1 in reply to Hidden]

Not really why?

[Hidden in reply to Briannafaye1]

You know why !.

If you have lupus believe me you'd know about it.

So from having blood in your urine to kidney problems why lupus ?. Why not cancer or liver failure or kidney failure.

[Briannafaye1 in reply to Hidden]

I think I have it because I had everything else checked out and everything came but normal all my CT scans & camera into the bladder . Now I’m waiting to see a kidney specialist

What other parts of your body is it attacking ?

[Briannafaye1 in reply to Hidden]

I don’t know , I never been diagnosed. But I convinced my self I have it because of the symptoms I’m having

[Hidden in reply to Briannafaye1]

Lupus attacks your body in different parts. You feel like you have flu 24/7. If you had lupus you'd know about it.

You can have blood in your urine from just doing exercises, as your body rejects damaged red cells into your urine and these would show up on a urine test.

I know two people with lupus and both look terrible, thin, weak, one blisters in the sun because it's sun induced.

I highly doubt you have it.

[Briannafaye1 in reply to Hidden]

I know but it’s weird that the blood in the urine has been their for 2 years! Thank you for the feed back though

[Hidden in reply to Briannafaye1]

If you had lupus or anything really serious you'd be seeing a specialist tomorrow.

It will be nothing. I

I've seen urine samples red with blood and it's been a simple infection.

Chill out and stop searching for something to fret over !!.

Go do something more exciting instead

[Briannafaye1 in reply to Hidden]

I thought it was an infection too but I did so much urine test that no bacteria was found just the small trace of blood

[Hidden in reply to Briannafaye1]

Honestly , you're getting yourself all worked up over nothing and all you've got for sure is a huge hypochondriac mind game going on.

The first thing you need to do is stop googling, the Internet will scare you half to death for no reason, please stay off the Internet especially since you have anxiety. From what I understand, you would definitely know about it and have far worse symptoms if you actually had lupus, if you have had blood in your urine that is not visible for two years, it’s probably nothing serious, and the kidney specialist will check you out and I would assume he or she will find nothing or at the very most, something minor. Please try to take some deep breaths and do something that you enjoy and focus on your child, think positive and don’t panic without a reason, do some deep breaths, some meditation, yoga whatever works for you. Big hugs. Chances are it’s just your body removing dead red blood cells like someone else said. Everybody is different and this may be normal for you, we don’t all fit into one mold.
