Thank you. You're a sweetheart. I forgive, and it's dropped. :-)

Well, I can't wait to get out of this HMO, but it won't happen until the end of the year. In the meantime, my husband needs surgery, and it scares me half to death. I don't think he'll be able to put it off.
With your word, Barbarella, I should probably go through all my records, which I happened to have to buy after a car accident injured me, and the ones who hit me required copies of all my medical records. I have a box of them sitting in my office. I went through some of them and found a couple other discrepancies, but going through them all is both daunting and most likely unnecessary, since we are getting away from them in January.
How DARE they lie about a patient! What medical incompetence! It is bad enough that when I joined a group for medical research testing, they twisted my words to get the result they wanted to show their employers wanted, which was unconscionable, but when one's own doctors do it, it is amazing.
Re my "illness," most of the time, I ignore it, except on religious holy days, when most around me drink wine, and I have my grape juice. :-) I don't feel sick -- just tired most of the time.

I'm really very sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. If you read
all the previous posts, you have been dx'd w/ anything from a
urinary infection to Sjorgens which is very serious. I honestly
was curious like the others about to help you. Hope you get
your mess straightened out. I once had a MD write I had seizures
in my file & that made other MD's ? my honesty until I got the
file copies & it was removed. It showed mal-practice of a
condition Dr said I had but did not treat w/ fol-up. His license
was then on the line. I wish you well.

Yes, doctors do write false info in patients records sometimes. I had a referral one time and hand carried my medical records and of course I looked inside and read them. My doc had the nerve and wrote in my records that "I refused to have a colonoscopy done". I NEVER refused this test. When I see him again I will definately point it out to him. Can't wait to hear his answer. If he gets mad for reading my records I will say "they are MINE and its about MY body" and I have a RIGHT to read them.
Good grief, Demiguise! Are you not a bit judgmental here? I wrote on the 18th, you jump all over me on the 18th by posting "I don't believe how many people we get that ask for help, delete alot of info & never return to say anything. I read one awhile back that said they think they were dying. Got 8 posts
& same day I found them on the weight loss forum asking for a
website for cheap B-12 injections to get skinny. Orig. ? was
abt unbearable spine pain. ATTN: Orig. Poster, please return if
just say thank you. We'll help if we can have the punch-line."
I'm sorry, but you deserve no answer.

The reason I did not post the diagnosis is because I did not want to influence you. It's too long of a story to relate here, but I am hooked in with an HMO for the rest of this year that cannot be trusted. I have been actually lied to and lied about to a major facility, in order to accept me as a future patiend, and one doctor wrote false information that I saw on my chart. When I tried to find her and make her change it, she had left the building, and the other doctors said they could not change what she wrote. I understood and requested that they write a note that what she said was false. They would not. I then changed doctors, and the new one acts scared of me and acts like a complete turkey. I haven't been back. Where are the Doctor Gods of yesteryear?
I should have remembered to write that they did a liver biopsy and there was liver damage.
I am definitely working on improving my eating. Further, the reason I drink Sobe, whhile I know it is a horrid choice, is because I hate, passionately, water. Only one state I have been in had good water (MN), and I have not found a bottled water I will consistently drink. I hate it! So I drink flavored drinks just to drink something.
Thank you, glad2bamom, myproblem, mungufuata, Barbarella, sk2006A, and hityty for your kindnesses.

i don't understand your question(s), but tea-colored urine could be from blood arising from a problem within your urinary tract. you need to see a doctor.
At least you are acknowledging your need to eat better. Might want to check the ingredients in Sobe. I know there's people who claim Aspartame, Sucrolose and Acesulfame-K (and other sweeteners) are safe, but there's a lot more out there saying otherwise. (Sobe has Acesulfame Potassium) Toss the sweetened drinks and drink water. Just make sure the water isn't sweetened too, such as Propel. "We are what we eat" is an understatement!
You are suppose to drink 6-8 glasses of water a day. Your "tea colored" urine could be a liver or kidney problem. Your "red dots" on your skin could be a blood disorder. That is why you need to see a doctor and let him evaluate and check your symptoms. Symptoms can have many causes.
It's very obvious what is happening here. You can't expect to feel better when you don't take care of yourself. You're suffering from malnutrition. Eat something.
It sounds somewhat like Lupus with kidney involvement. Is the thirst related to dry mouth? If so, condider Sjogren's Syndrome. What diagnosis were you given?
