what to do
I have several conditions I deal with but my physician is not answering me , over the last 2 years I have been dealing with excessive sweating ,night sweats, pain on right side under ribs, infrequent urination, swelling in area of pain , blood in urine, my doctor keeps putting me on antibotics but it never goes all the way away , then comes back with a vengeance, I am so sick all the time it is ruining my life , I just don't know what to do , any advice?
Aaagh, didn't see your kidney diagnosis. Sorry you're dealing with that, and sorry to waste your time. Hope all goes well!
I wonder are you hypothyroid? Whenever i am on T4 only thyroid hormone, like synthroid, levothyroxine (the usuals that docs prescribe), I can have bad sweats/hot flashes. I don't do a real good job of converting T4 to ,T3 (removing 1 iodine molecule). I use a med with some of both.
For a while I still had some residual night sweats. My doc sold me s bottle of Pharma brand GABA, a neurotransmitter that can be low in fibro. That did the trick. I have used cheaper brandds & they worked, but I sjbmit Phsrma us probably the good "test" brand, based on how much reading about supplements that dr seemed to have done. I saw conflicting internet info about GABA for bipolar patients, so that patient group should research more.
I am experiencing an antibiotic resistant kidney infection. Someone on another forum is also. At some point soon it will be time for me to find a good uroligist see if I can get it cultured and see what it will respond to. Sounds like your next move, too? The kidneys aren't something to mess around with (if that's what it is).
If it'-s really bladder, not kidneys, maybe see a doc knowledgeable about mast cell disorders. I wrote up a thread at HealClick explaining mast cell disorders, called reference thread for mast cell information. I don't know if links to other forums are permitted here. There is a youtube video from the mastocytosis society I like, and for the bladder, Dr Theoharides (the mast cell master)is on youtube discussing a product called cystoprotek. I believe profits go to mast cell research st Tufts. (Fibro patients have more skin mast cells according to a study by Blanco et al). Substance P triggers mast cells, and fibro patients have more substance p. The same is true for CRH/corticoid releasing hormone. And some meds trigger mast cells to over react. Diagnosis is key tho. I would not assume a mast cell problem, as if it's not your problem, you don't want to inhibit mast cell activity. They are vital immune cells. But sometimes they run amuck, over reacting and/or over proliferating.

Hi ladymichelle.
I'm so sorry you're going through this.
Please don't get discouraged.
I know it's tough, but you need to stay strong and focused. You can beat all this, but you need to arm yourself using some inner tools (we all have them) which are more powerful than your suffering itself!
The good news first: Most masses on the kidney are cysts and very common
in people over 50.
The bad, but not so bad news: Any solid masses are 80% cancerous,
however, they are treatable and the prognosis is excellent when discovered
earlier in the beginning stages, as they are usually very slow progressing.
At first, in stage one the cancerous cells' nuclei resemble normal cells' nuclei under a microscope. A Fuhrman grade examination is what it's called,
but this usually is preceded by other preliminary screening and diagnostic tests
I have studied the work of Gaston Naessens, a brilliant Master biologist,
inventor of the "somatoscope" (Somatidian theory) and the "714-X" cancer remedy.
Unfortunately the "Establishment" attempted to crucify him, for apparently practicing medicine without a licence.
What a gross injustice, for a man who has helped thousands, survive cancer.
Nonetheless, he's still around and active and 714-X can be obtained through special application completed and signed by the patient's doctor to Health Canada.
I don't know how it works in the states. Sorry off subject a bit, but I think
the connection might be that this remedy works to inderectly increase alkalinity in the body, where voltage can increase in the cells to reach the level of repair and healing required to stop the cancer from spreading and restore the cancerous cells back to their normal state. This is my own explanation.
So a strict alkaline diet, might be very helpful overall, regardless of your diagnosis.
Best wishes.

This is my own opinion

Hi ladymichelle.
Let's put it bluntly. You are considered high maintenance my dear.
I doubt that conventional medicine will be much help to you, barring any life threatening condition or emergency, at this point.
If prior history can teach us a thing or two, you will find that as certain conditions are not getting resolved by antibiotics or whatever treatment course is prescribed, and if they linger around for much longer, they usually result in worsening of the condition or in the onset of other complications!
Things you can do now.
You must rule out candida. Do the saliva self-test. Simple and fast.
Often Leaky Gut Syndrome is linked to unresolved candida infection.
Your oral cavity is probably hosting billions of harmful toxins and bacteria,
which find their way into your body and cause ongoing inflammation and
infection.
If your salivary gland is taken out, your immunity because of the lack of saliva in your oral cavity is compromised and so is your digestion.
Look into oil pulling with coconut oil, however, you may need to do 2x10 minutes instead of 20 straight minutes, or even up to 4x5 minutes, should
you be unable to salivate, in which case you need to hydrate more frequently with some water, actually each time before repeating it again.
This will help rid a large percentage of the offending bacteria and toxins, by simply spitting them out and rinsing real well each time. Must do every morning before breakfast!
You must also look into digestive aids, like enzymes and also probiotics to help with any restore your health intestinal flora.
Coconut oil consumption will help, as it is anti-viral, anti-parasitic, anti-microbial and anti-fungal. Use it in place of inflammatory cooking oils, as it
does not alter with heat.
Blood in the urine is a concern. It indicates that perhaps internal tissues are irritated and/or damaged and this should be explored further.
Look into herbs with demulcent properties which help soothe and protect
inflamed or irritated internal tissues.
Another thing that you need to do is to checked for nutritional deficiencies,
specially when your digestive and gastro-intestinal systems are likely
compromised.
One last thing to be aware of is that an acidic ( acid producing inside the body) diet, combined with your imbalances, result in high levels of acid in your blood. Your body leaches calcium from bones and teeth, when free
calcium is low, as a buffering agent, as the blood cannot contain too much acid. So an alkaline diet will serve you best!
Please research all this online and if you have any questions please let me know.
Your overall strategy should be though, finding an ND or functional medicine doctor, to help you regain your health. I understand that this is out of pocket and not covered by insurance, however, it is your health and your life at stake here.
Note that my comments are not intended to replace medical advice.
Best wishes.
