Kidney involement?

[Footygirlagain]

Hi

I havevLupus, Menieres, Fibro, Sjorgrens

I have been treated for

Bad chest infection concurrent urine infection.

I was treated with antibiotics, dud, short course of Prednisilone. None of which worked.

I was treated by Antibiotics and longer, decreasing course of prednisilone. All clear except off and on irritated symptoms LIKE cystitis and irritation of back passage giving urgency and loose stools.

GP at a loss of why still have lots of mucus on lungs and wheeze. Given inhaler but irritated lungs worse.

In the morning, not having drunk during the night, I am having cystitis symptoms and back passage irritation.

From 8.30 until 10 am drank one litre of water per half hour, believing that my mucus membranes are MEGA dry. By ten feelings calming but did not pass any urine until 11.40 when I passed about tablespoon measure. No symptoms urine pale.

Continued drinking. 2pm passed reasonable amount of pale urine no symptoms. Stopped drinking as much.

4 pm feelings returning, but not fully. Continue one litre half hour.

I am believing I am mega dehydrated. With lots of liquid can cough, wee, a but.

I am posting on here as well as Sjorgrens, Lupus Fibro sites as I guess you guys are the experts in all things kidneys and urine. I am postuping in case alarm bells are ringing with you and you can nail down what this is. Lupus targets kidneys but since diagnosis have not had ANY kidney problems, thankfully.

Over to you guys. If this is all foriegn to you, then I will stick with Sjorgrens involvement.

Thanks for reading.

Stay well

Hi Footy,

We are not allowed to diagnose on this site and even if I could, I wouldn't have a clue. I am concerned that you did drink a lot of water in a short amount of time and that sometimes can be hard on the kidneys.

"Young, healthy people don’t normally [get hyponatremia] unless they drink liters and liters of water at once, because your kidneys can only [expel] about half a liter at most an hour,"

Thank you Bassettmommer for your reply. I share your concern and hope that, if for no other reason, I may get attention from some Doc over the next few days. Because of my Sjorgrens (dry mucus membranes throughout the body) that is one avenue to explore and now two people have commented on a connection between Fibromyalgia and lung and urinary involvement together.

I have Fibro, Lupus, Sjorgrens and Menieres, all autoimmune conditions.

I have never had this before, but will hunt it down to its cause whatever it may be.

I do appreciate no one other than a qualified doc can diagnose. I just wanted to know if this rang any bells on here.

So obliged to you

Keep well

Love

Have you been tested for having Dysautonomia? It is very related to Sjögrens and other autoimmune diseases. Also causes many other problems. It’s a large umbrella for other problems like POTS.
