Dear Sir/Maam/
MY Husband has had blood in his urine. It started last week, on sunday. He had blood in his urine all day, then it cleared up and he didn't experience the problem again until this Sunday. (I do not think he is allergic to Sundays!!!)
He is an iron worker and has a very physical job. He said that he doesn't have pain or burning during urination, nor has he been running a fever. He does seem more fatigued than usual. Also he is a heavy drinker of beer. He has had some lower back pain and pain in the abdomen just under the rib cage.
I am very concerned about this but I cannot get him to let me make him an appointment to see his Doctor. Am I perhaps over-reacting? Could this be something minor? I only discovered the problem by accident. Your reply would be appreciated. Debbie

Hello,
I am trying to figure out alot things. I am not a doctor, but I have had blood in my urine every day for over two years. Mine started in high school. I was a runner. The doctors thought it was a kidney stone. I have had numerous tests done (IVP, kidney biopsy, catscan, bladder check, and even surgery). I have noticed that a lot of the symptoms were the same in me as well as numerous other people I have gotten in contact with (mentioning of heavy work, but no pain of discomfort when urinating, and fatigueness. I lost so much blood at one point that I was almost anemic. The doctors told me that they could do no more. I am hoping that with enough response and enough cases doctors will put more time and research into finding this thing
out because a lot of people have the same thing. I am in progress of asking and telling doctors all over the country about this. I am hoping that it will have some affect. If you find out anything please let me know and I will do the same. Thankyou
Sincerely,
kristopher bengtson
