Please Help Me

I’m sorry if this is the wrong forum, I just picked the first one because I’m in agony and can’t see too well.

I’m a 20 year old Girl from Scotland. I have Polycystic Kidney Disease, have since I was born. Since Sunday I’ve felt very unwell but that’s nothing new for me, I just took some of my pain relief and tried to keep going. Monday, it was very difficult to pee and my left kidney was in agony. I phoned the Doctor and have an appointment for next Monday. I’ve progressively got worse, and the kidney pain is now excruciating. I was up all night vomiting, even just when drinking water. I also passed out briefly and now both of my kidneys are in agony. I phoned 111 and they said as long as I’m not peeing blood, to just wait for my appointment on Monday. Surely this isn’t okay? I’m terrified somethings going wrong with my Kidneys as at my last nephrology Visit he said my Kidneys were VERY big now, and the number of cysts had tripled. I’m very unwell honestly, should I go to A&E or actually wait for my appointment?

Thank you so much, Kim x

I don’t know what your choices are there but don’t wait. You need to go somewhere now. Don’t suffer through that. I’m praying for you. Do you have someone to take you?

I am not sure what you call it in Scotland, but I know I would not wait and would visit my local hospital emergency room. Best wishes!

First, I’m sorry that you’re feeling so poorly. Second, I would go immediately to the hospital. If you don’t have anyone to take you, hopefully you have an ambulance you can call to transport you.

Let us know how you are doing. And you are in both my thoughts and my prayers.

Go to the hospital. You need to see if you are in kidney failure. Do not wait.
